Twilight is a guilty pleasure... I've been told the writings no good, I agree and say I loved it anyway. I've had A Discovery of Witches on my TBR list for ages, you make me want to get around to it.
ReplyDeleteI loved A Discovery of Witches and looking for the new book coming out this summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Twilight was not written for people like me - a man, in my forties when I read the series after seeing the films first - I loved the story. I'm currently watching The Vampire Diaries, which is basically Twilight serialized, on Prime Video, so obviously I'm a fan of paranormal romance.

Someone recommended the Dark Brotherhood to me years ago, and I somehow forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAside from ACOTAR, this isn't a genre I've read extensively, although I do enjoy writing this kind of romance above the other sub genres
