I’d really like to read a book that is eerie/frightening, BUT needs to have some good romance. I prefer ghost stories or some type of scary entity causing the trouble. Surprisingly hard to find this type of book. You either get one or the other. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated! thanks!

this has been recommended to me before- but somewhere, someone told me there wasn't any romance?

There is romance it's just slow building and takes a back burner to the rest of the story sometimes but it is there.

Stacia Kane’s Downside Ghosts series are good books.

HI im new here but i would like to suggest dark cravings by Madeline Pryce. It is based on a half vampire Ella Grey who has a shadow hunter partner she secretly admires, Micah. And they encounter a succubus that changes everything between them.
hope you guys enjoyed it as much as i do.

I second the Graveyard Queen series. Not my typical type of novel, but I really enjoyed it.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if someone can help me in a very specific series I would like to find and get into. The requirements for said series would be: 1. Multiple supernatural creatures (anything, I'm trying to shy away from werewolves/ shifters and vampires but im okay if they're in it) 2. more than 3 books. 3. each book containing a different character from the previous story, but all the characters pretty much appear in all books. Please it would be greatly appreciated if you could help ♡♡♡

Hi Amelia,

So I have a couple of recommendations for you. First is the Throne of Glass series and Court of Thorns and Roses series - both by Sarah J Maas. Second is Bitten series by Kelly Armstrong - however she does change points of view in the third or fourth book and they are about werewolves (this is my fav series - it's totally worth the read). Third would be Karen Moning Fever series - this is quite a few books 4 or 5 I believe before she changes the point of view and than it goes back to the original character.
Hope this helps!

Let the Right One In
by John Ajvide Lindqvist

one of my favourites, it has a really sweet love story alongside a proper horror story, no sparkling vampires here.

Dannika Dark. She has a few series out that are all in the same world, all with character crossovers. Mageri is the first series.

I second this! I’ve read all of her series and I cannot get enough!

Christine Warren has a series where you do have various shifters and fae and magic users. I don't remember if there are vampires in it, but probably. One Bite With A Stranger is the first book. Although I actually didn't start with that book, I found one of the books about 3 or 4 into the series Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here I think was the first one that I read. However, I have OCD and as soon as I realized it was a series I had to go back and start over again at the beginning. Plus some of the titles for the series are a total hoot.

And, for a really big series (about 30 or so books in the series) that is only loosely a series, there is Andre Norton's Witch World series. Witch World is the first book in the series. They don't quite change characters every book, but rather are random groupings of 2 or 3 books with some of the same characters in them. And, then the last book in the series brings together a lot of the main characters to "save" Witch World from more invaders. (This is fantasy meets sci-fi meets some time-travel.) But I'm going to admit right up front that I'm a major, major, major fan of this author and have been for more decades than I'm willing to admit. The first book in this series was written back in the 1960's I think it was, and the last one some time in the early 2000s. But I think that's part of what makes it so interesting--some of the characters come from "our" world and as I said, there is some time--I'm not sure if it's really travel or dilation, but the last couple of books have a character in it who comes from those early 2k's. Plus there are the other more "native" characters from the World itself (although a lot of the different "races" for no better idea of what to call them) are only "native" because they've been there for umpteen generations, even if they do have stories of coming from another world to Witch World. Um, sorry, I can get talking and run on forever when talking about what I like about this series.

I, too, love the Witch World series. Despite having been written back in the '60s, 70's, 80's, etc. the female protagonists are not TSTL and don't sit around waiting for the hero to bail them out of whatever situation they're stuck in. Her more science fiction stuff is great, too.

The Witch World is a great series. Another great series is The Young Wizard Series by Diane Duane. It's wonderful as audio books too.

Deborah Wilde's Unlikeable Demon Hunter, Dannika Dark's Crossbreed, Hailey Edwards' Beginner's Guide to Necromancy, Susan Ee's Penryn and the End of Days, and some of Laura Thalassa's books might be options for you!
