Delightfully Funny Paranormal Romance Comedy Books
While I do love paranormal romance books quite a bit, I have to be honest here. They can get a bit too intense for me. I am not always in the mood for something too serious or steamy. Also sometimes there is unnecessary tension between the protagonists that can feel too forced.
That is why when I discovered the paranormal romance comedy sub-genre, I was absolutely delighted. I couldn’t wait to get into it and I was definitely not disappointed.
So here are some of the best, funny paranormal romance comedy books that I recommend. The books listed here are the first book of their respective series. You may want to read a few of them to appreciate the entire series and the way each story unfolds.
