Volition Series discussion

There has been a lot of paranormal hype these past few years. Werewolves, vampires, fallen angels, shape-shifters, witches, zombies...lions and tigers and bears oh my!

What is your favorite brand of paranormal? Are you the kind of reader who will read almost anything as long as your "brand of paranormal" is involved? If you like vampires do you read everything vampire? Or do you still pick and chose?

Do you think there's such thing as TOO MUCH paranormal in one book?

I personally like the angel concept, for obvious reasons. Though I haven't read too many of the books. And books like Fallen by Lauren Kate for me were a bit TOO MUCH. The angel theme seemed almost too unrealistic. I know that sounds weird for a paranormal concept but I think you know what I mean. Hush, Hush was better though Crescendo kind of bugged me a bit. It's a branch of paranormal I hope will take off and improve. Any REALLY great angel books anyone can recommend?

I have really only read a few. Vampire chronicles by Anne Rice and Twilight series I think are my fave's but I'm trying to read a little more of it now. I think there can be a little too much of it in one book. If it there are it becomes too many to digest.

I agree, it seems that The Sookie Stakehouse books are like that. There's a lot going on in them. I mean, I get that authors want to "take down the walls of limitation"...if one paranormal creature can live in the world then why can't they all...but I'd rather just read a well-written book about one paranormal concept at a time. haha. Otherwise you could end up liking a paranormal element that doesn't really get any attention in the book because there's too much going on.
