Nophoto-f-25x33 JR ward , Gena showalter , karen marie moning and christine feehan are the best paranormal romance writers ever ....just finished the 6 books by JR Ward on the Black Dagger Brotherhood can,t wait for Lover Avenged and Gena showalters The Darkest Wisper will soon be out OMG lol

732709 I'm itching to remove all the urban fantasy series from that list, and the other books that don't qualify as paranormal romance.

Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, MaryJanice Davidson, Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, and Kelley Armstrong are all urban fantasy.

Diana Gabaldon is historical fiction.

Anne Rice is horror, I believe.

But none of the above series qualify as a romance novel. There is no happily ever after at the end of each book.

And there are multiple books by Sherrilyn Kenyon listed, none of which are the first book in the series.

2187218 I agree with mlady_rebecca & Pjnorton75, most of the books in this list are not Paranormal Romance, no matter how good they are, they just don't really fit this category.

Take for example, City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare is urban fantasy, there is just a bit of romance in it, but the book is not really about that.
