The urban fantasy/paranormal genre has become huge and it seems everybody has jumped on the band wagon.

Amongst the huge pile of dross and YA offerings, however, there are some very grown up novels well worth a read. These are the books which, in my opinion, not only tell a great story but also create a totally credible alternative reality. Here is my growing list of favourite paranormal page-turners. Hope youll find something new to read and enjoy! ANDREWS, Ilona Kate Daniels series (main books there are also some between-the-books novellas)
