Here's a definition of paranormal books from GR. It's not just fantasy, but includes some of the listed elements as well.
"Paranormal books involve unusual experiences that lack a scientific explanation. Some popular subjects in paranormal books are supernatural creatures, ESP, clairvoyance, ghosts, UFOs, telepathy, and psychics.
A subgenre of paranormal books and of romances is paranormal romance. These books focus mainly on the romantic relationships with a background theme of vampires, shapeshifters, ghosts, time travel, fantastical beings, and psychic abilities."

I can't tell from the book's summary if it does or not. Hopefully someone who's read it can answer. ;->

Some of these are more paranormal than others, but they all have diverse MCs.

I'm reading Signal to Noise for another reading challenge and I think it will work for this prompt, too!
I also plan to read An Unkindness of Ghosts for another, which may be more sci-fi than paranormal, but I think it could work, as well.
Someone recommended Kindred for this one on Listy and it sounded good.I also think Akata Witch would work for this one, but not entirely sure since I haven't read it.
I'm going to probably read one of Daniel Jose Older's books. Both of these are second books in a series.Shadowhouse Fall
Midnight Taxi Tango
I'm not sure what def. Litsy is using, but from the description, I think The Belles would be fantasy, not paranormal.Signal to Noise is a lovely book! I might look at another one by Moreno-Garcia for mine.
