When Scary Meets Romance - The Paranormal Romance is born

I’m talking about the paranormal romance today, (well, it is almost Halloween after all).

Do you ever wonder what creatures live in the dark of our imagination and the night? Werewolves, vampires and other creatures of the night. In any other genre, they’d be terrifying to consider for most readers, but when you mix scar and romance together, you have one hell of a good book.

One of the hottest genres in romance these days is the paranormal romance. Readers can’t get enough of the undead and other creatures of the night. And writers as well as publishers are scrambling to keep up with the demand.

So what defines a paranormal romance? Well, it is a romance with paranormal characters and events. It follows the same rules that apply to all romances and it has the build up of the romance as the heart and main plot of the novel. The only real difference is that either one or both of the main characters often aren’t human, and the story itself can dip into darker waters plot-wise than a regular romance.

Like regular romance, paranormal romance covers the whole genre spectrum. They can be humorous, historical, futuristic, contemporary, mystery, fantasy, urban fantasy, sci-fi, gothic, and erotica—basically, if the romance is front and center, then it’s labeled a paranormal romance, regardless of the genre.

Okay, so turn on every light in the house, grab a comforting snack and brew, curl up by a roaring fire, and let’s take a ghoulishly fun look at something, tall, dark, and deadly. 

Let me introduce you to...The Prince Of The Night.

For hundreds of years, he's waited for her to be return—his one true love. But can Jessie accept the love from a mysterious man called Viktor Brincoveanu who claims to have her best interests at heart.


When Prince Viktor Brincoveanu falls victim to the curse he is forced to send his beloved bride Gabrielle' away forever to save her eternal soul. When the news comes that Gabrielle' has taken her own life, her death marks the beginning of his nightmare existence as Lamia. A prince cursed to exist in the dark world of the night, forever hunted and unable to free himself of the heartbreaking memories of the one woman he loved.
