paranormal teen romance books

Paranormal romances bring so much to the romance genre. They blend the real world with the otherworldly and explore our wildest fantasies. And there are supernatural creatures for everyone to love: woodland fairies, haunting ghosts, devilish werewolves, and gargoyle shapeshifters are only the start of love interests you'll meet in this no-bounds genre. 

Of course, we love classic romance novels, but we can’t help but fall for the creatures we know we’ll never have a chance with. And the heart wants what it wants! 

The young adult and teenage subgenre is a gem of paranormal romance that takes us back to the days of being young and falling in love – with just as much drama and angst. If you want to feel all the feels, like you’re 15 again and reading Twilight for the first time, here are ten books that do just that.

White Hot Kiss

By Jennifer L. Armentrout

From The Dark Elements Series, White Hot Kiss follows a half-demon, half-gargoyle named Layla, who struggles to find her place in the world.

To make matters worse, Layla's kiss is lethal to humans, including Zayne, a half-human half-gargoyle Warden, tasked with protecting humans.

Everything changes when Layla falls for a demon who knows her darkest secrets. But trusting him could cost her everything, including her chance with Zayne. As Layla uncovers her role in a demon uprising threatening the end of the world, getting with the enemy becomes a lesser concern.

When Trinity falls for one of the Wardens, Zayne, her world is turned upside down. At the same time, Wardens from a different clan come to the sanctuary with disturbing news: someone is slaughtering both demons and Wardens. As demons infiltrate the sanctuary, Zayne and Trinity must join forces to protect their loved ones and save the planet.
