Eternity

This one popped into my head - seems fitting for October while definitely still offering some romance. :)

Three hundred years ago, Raven St. James was accused of witchcraft...Only one man tried to free her from the hangman's noose--Duncan, the town minister, who died trying to save her.

Three hundred years later, the accused witch still lives and longs for her love...At last, after centuries of loneliness, Raven has found her precious Duncan. But as he awakens to the passion of his past life, so too does the evil that tore them apart. Now Raven and Duncan must prove their love for all eternity...

Cry Of The Firebird

I dont know if we are allowed to self- promote but my book 'Cry of the Firebird' fits the suggested criteria. It is dark urban fantasy with plenty of monsters , magic with some romance (but not a main focus). Its No1. in its categories on Amazon and I would happily leave it as a Free book promotion for the month for all Vaginal Fantasy readers.

The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

[Malaraa]

Boundary Crossed is a lot of fun, and the magic deals with ghosts and such, so it'd fit nice with Halloween too.

[Jessica]

Darkhouse perhaps? Never read it, but it shows up as #1 on Goodreads' "horror-romance" list. Or The Other Side of Midnight actually looks like it has a bit better reviews, and might have more availability.

ETA: Okay, my final answer! Warm Bodies is a zombie romance with great ratings from people whose reviews I respect.

[Louise]

Maplecroft by Cherie Priest.

The Lizzie Borden story told with added Lovecraftian Old Ones.

[Julia]

The The Lost Night by Jayne Castle its about a haunted island in a paranormal world. Its a fun read with good world building

[Laura]

Immortal Beloved has great reviews and seems like a good Halloween read

"Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realizes something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past.

Nastasya finally begins to deal with life, and even feels safe--until the night she learns that someone wants her dead."

The poll is now open.

Notes:
1. Cry of the Firebird was not included because it did not meet the criteria of 100 Goodreads ratings.
2. While we encourage and support independent authors, the alt poll is not intended as a self-promotional tool. We do not explicitly prohibit authors from including their own works as this would be too easy to circumvent using friends or with a fake account. The 100 rating criterion exists to discourage author spam. Going forward it will be strictly enforced.
3. Only fiction books are eligible. While it does not fall neatly into this category, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls was included because it uses historical fiction elements to tell its story.
4. While I haven't read it, I'm posting a self-harm trigger warning for The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls as it deals with mental illness and attempted suicide. The book and the author also seem to be very polarizing among audiences. (no pun intended)
