Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy Addicts discussion

Hello all~ Just joined this group and I'm excited to discuss PNR books and series with other fans!

I just finished reading all of the books thus far in the Elder Races series and absolutely LOVED them, I couldn't put them down! I think one of the main reasons why I enjoyed these books so much was that the author, Thea Harrison, wrote them in a dual POV - it switches every few chapters between the heroine and the alpha male. I really enjoyed getting to read the story partly from the male POV and see his emotions unfolding.
So my question is, what other PNR series or books feature a dual POV? I've been trying to find them, but haven't had any luck so far. I'm hoping for some awesome recommendations!

TIA for any replies!

I love the Crucible Series by Angela Colsin. It's dual POV and every book features different supernatural species. First book is wolf shifters, second is a draconian and a fairy, third is werewolf and witch, etc. And it's a really steamy series.

Jayne Ann Krentz writes using the dual point of view. Her Arcane Society books are PNR featuring people with various psychic abilities. Not all of her books are PNR. Almost all have a mystery of some sort. Books written as Amanda Quick are historical, and the Arcane Society books are set in late Victorian times. Books written as Jayne Ann Krentz are contemporary. Books written as Jayne Castle are futuristic set on the planet Harmony. You should be able to find quite a few of her books at the library.

Thank you guys for the recommendations so far, I'm definitely going to check some of these series out. The Arcane Society ones in particular sound interesting to me.

I'm reading the DarkHunter Series right now by Sherrilyn Kenyon and is dual point of view and really good if you haven't read it :)

Immortals After Dark, funny too, but Dual POV 3rd person definitely. Also Psy-Changelings, more serious but again 3rd Person switching. My two top PNRs.

My favorite is the Harper Hall series by Isabel Jordan. It's funny, sweet, and super sexy. (Harper kicks ass, too!)



On the darker side, I loved the Deathless Night series. Book 1 is:

I'm more into UF than PNR, with that said I often appreciated how Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson rotated PoVs so that we got to see the same situation from multiple angles.

For the more romance side of things, I believe that Mercedes Lackey has a few novels like this. I'm trying to remember the names, but I seem to remember a few of her Valdimar books were written like this, but not all of them. She also writes a lot of UF and Dark UF with romantic subplots. There might be a few books there with what you're looking for, but I'd check the good reviews to make sure. It's been so long since I dove into her books that I can't remember which. I would look at the Valdimar books with women as protagonists, the Bard series, and the Fairy Godmother series.

I'm assuming that you are looking for books where both protagonists are in the same place at the same time. If that doesn't matter to you Trudi Canavan's Thief's Magic bounces back between two PoVs. Her books are more F than UF though.

Finally, while not a romance, my book (I'm not going to self promote here, but you'll find it in the Author's section of this group in a few minutes) was built with this in mind. Five PoVs are rotated throughout the novel, with all the characters seeing the same people and events. I really wanted to toy with the idea that truth and perception are subjective, and that you never know how you look through someone else's eyes. There's a romantic subplot in the middle of the novel, but to be fair it's not the primary driving force behind the narrative.

I'm so happy I found this thread! I am trying to see how others are doing things. I started a 10 book series with 2 points of view, but the characters are not romantically linked, so it might be risky. It helps to know that other people enjoy getting 2 stories in 1. I will check out these recommendations! <3

I’m reading the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger and it has different POV’s.

The First book is “Soulless.” It’s set in an alternative universe, Victorian times and has werewolves, vampires, ghosts, a little steampunk..... Supernaturals are known about and part of society.
