Vampires who've had centuries to get lonely, witches with debts coming due, the ghost who won't leave the house or the heart. Paranormal romance keeps one foot in our world and one somewhere stranger, which is exactly where the tension lives — falling for someone who isn't quite human changes what love costs. The mood ranges from gothic and aching to sharp and funny. If you want bigger worlds and full-blown magic systems, fantasy romance is the next shelf over, and the fated-mates crowd will feel right at home in werewolf romance.
