Lovers of Paranormal discussion

Lately I have been a big fairy tale retelling book reader.

I am looking for ones I can buy on kobo or smashword.

Oohh I've bee on the lookout for fairytale retellings myself lately. Here's som I've come across:

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Scifi YA fairytale series. Well written with plenty of great characters. The final book is out this November, but the first 3 and the new prequel are out already.)


A Paranormal Fairytale series for older readers by Jennifer Blackstream called Blood Prince


An Unfortunate Fairytale YA series by Chanda Hahn


And a series of mashups of fairytales and classic horror with a focus on the classic Universal monsters, the Scary Tales series by Rob E. Boley



I haven't gott to most of these just yet, though. Hope you find something you like! I'll be following this thread myself for more recommendations!

Have you read any of Gregory Maguire's work?


I believe you can get these on kobo.

might be worth a look

I've got a series going of fairytale-inspired books - 2 have been released and the last one is set for June 2015.

These are historical romance books - Traditional Regency, with paranormal/fantasy elements wrapped around a romance. If you enjoy that mixture of genres, keep reading.

Here's the first one on KOBO: A Devilish Slumber



FYI...A Devilish Slumber will be coming out on R4R soon on Lovers of Paranormal - so if you want a review copy, keep an eye out for that announcement.

Here is the entire historical paranormal romance series on Goodreads:
The Rue Alliance

This one, inspired by Beauty and the Beast, is related but not part of The Rue Alliance series:

KOBO: A Beastly Scandal

I love Alethea Kontis' retellings:


And there's this excellent one too:

I've read A Bite's Taleand Blood and Snow. They're both great fairytale retelling with a paranormal twist to them. I hope you enjoy!

The Kingdom series by Marie Hall:






I read the first three for a couple of fairy tale retelling(s) challenges and liked them. I rated the ones that I read between 3 1/2 to 4 stars, and I plan to continue with this series.

If you're interested, you can try the first book for free on Kobo or Smashwords. You can also get the first three books for free in a boxset at the same locations (they are tagged as romance/fantasy/paranormal):
