Any other closet readers?

Straight-up romance? No thanks. Zero interest.

I do like Gothic Romance for all the reasons you cite. Unfortunately only 1 out of the 3 I've read so far has serious "supernatural elements." I figured at least one ghost or alleged haunting per novel would be a requirement. Wink But there's enough eerieness and "dread" otherwise to make it worthwhile.

Quote: Sometimes I'm tempted by a paranormal romance, but they all seem the same (vampires, vampires, witch, werewolf, vampires, vampires, etc.) And, even though it's improving, there is still the unfortunate cover art on some romance books.

Agreed. Rolleyes There are some very funny "paranormal romances" out there ... but most do seem to revolve around the NEW take on vampires. Big Grin

I like vampires, but anything gets old...
