The month of May is rife with Young Adult releases but the ones I have chosen are a little bit more special because they have that have a paranormal twist to them! If you’re like me, you are looking forward to these releases. Personally, I’m a lover of both YA and PNR so whenever I find a series that combines the two, they tend to get pushed up on my TBR pile. Authors like Sherriyn Kenyon are no strangers to both genres. In fact, The Chronicles of Nick series is closely tied to the Dark-Hunters world so there is a lot of cross over. In contrast, Sarah J. Maas and Danielle L. Jensen write YA but with a heavy Fantasy influence. The series, however, do include fae and witches, making it easy for supernatural fans to devour.

Since they are YA, the stories do not have a resolution at the end of every book like typical Paranormal Romances do. Therefore, it’s important to read in order to benefit from the story the most.

The story was a fantasy, a wicked troll queen cursing him to be a polar bear by day and a man at night. But mine will be perfectly plausible. Looking for a hot polar bear to warm your heart? Cougars are really different from jaguars, so it’s fun for me to write about two unique big cats and how different the shifters are in their human form also. Jaguars are mysterious, hard to document, protected. Cougars are hunted and have seasons to thin their numbers. Jaguars are exotic big cats, whereas cougars…

Spring is finally here which, according to some love pundits, means that along with sweet-smelling flowers, fresh, dewy love is just around the corner. All that newly exposed flesh… all those newly liberated hormones! But if you’re in the market for a new man this spring, this author highly recommends that you consider trading up and going for a supernatural boyfriend. Here is a roundup of the top 5 reasons the #SNB is the better man. You’ll never be bored. Ever. One of the biggest failings of any relationship is boredom. This is never a problem with a #SNB. So what if you don’t have much in common? No one said that a vegetarian and the undead couldn’t get along! You may not be a drama queen, but the #SNB simply doesn’t have ordinary problems. Imagine lamenting to your friends over coffee about your new significant other and how he occasionally sprouts fur – and sometimes tears the heads off attackers in an effort to save the world and/or you. They’ll be just as enthralled by the discussion as you are. He’ll get you out of a jam. This is the boyfriend you want in your corner. He won’t leave…
