Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Most PNRs seem to have heroes that are vampires, demons, fallen angels, werewolves, shapeshifters.

Are there any other strong magical beings that heroes in PNR are? Can anyone suggest any books featuring something different from the above in the way of heroes?

witches! don't forget witches

How about dragons?

ooo sandra thats a good one.

There is a succubus series adult and in YA . Both are good.

Someone suggest YA which is suppose to be about dragons.

There are a lot of witch books. But two other YS series I suggest that are good. Ghost and about Banshees.

There is also two adult series about witches and feys.
and . They are both really good as well.

The Dark Magick series by Anya Bast has heroes who are all dark fae. The series is very hot. Excellent.
The Warriors of Poseidon by Alyssa Day series has vamps and shifters in it, but the heroes themselves are almost all warriors from Atlantis. Very Good.
The ACRO series by Sydney Croft (Larissa Ione & Stephanie Tyler) is about H/h's with various powers. The series is scorching. Excellent.
The Wing Slayer Hunters series by Jennifer Lyon is about preternatural witch guardians/hunters. Very good.
The Sentinel Wars series by Shannon K. Butcher is about heroes who are warriors who kill demons. Excellent.

- Hero is a Mage
- the hero is really the mortuary guy, but the supernatural aspect is pretty cool.
- Death
- Death & Fae
- Dragon
- Greek Myth/Witch
- Warlock?
- I don't know what he is, I don't thin he says.

Thanks, everyone. These sound interesting. Do the heroes in these have some powers that distinguish them from the vampires and werewolves and other PNR creatures we are familiar with? Or do they just bear the name of some different magical creatures while their powers are more or less the same?

Amy Plum made up her own beings "revenents" for this book and they have their own unique abilities and powers. I would suggest having a look.

In the ACRO series the powers are definitely unique. One hero can control the weather, for instance. The Warriors of Poseidon travel by turning into mist. In Dark Magick the fae each have their own special powers, which are definitely not vamp or werewolf related. For the rest of the series I mentioned, the warriors are enhanced in some respect and generally long-lived or immortal.

Does that answer your question?

- Dragon - each controls an element of Earth

- The hero is a fairy

- The hero is a Incubus

- The hero's are Grim Reapers

- the heroes are Soul Reapers

the heroes are dinosaur shifters.

Thanks, everyone. I’m still reading reviews of these. Shade sounds really interesting.

Now I’m curious; did Jeri explain satisfactorily the cause of the 'Shift'? I dislike books where there’s some super interesting event and then the author gives some lame explanation for it.

so what was the reason something happened and all those 16 and under could suddenly see ghosts? I see the latest in the trilogy is out but no one’s given a full review yet.
