Pick Your Passion... (53 books)

I've been reading many discussions about favorite book series and characters and I would like to quantify the results...so pick your favorite paranormal series. I've only included the first book in a series to represent the whole series.

This list is a mix of tame YA romance and sizzling adult PNR, so readers beware.

(Please only add books that have 10,000 or more GoodReads ratings.)
