PLOT TYPES

When you read a review on this blog, the book or series title is always followed by a plot-type label. The most common labels are SMR, UF, CH, and HIS.  This page provides descriptions of five types of paranormal plots commonly found in modern paranormal fiction and lists of the titles and series of each type that are reviewed on this blog.  Just click on a title to go directly to the review:

      SMR = Soul-Mate Romances
      UF = Urban Fantasy
      CH = Chick Lit
      HIS =  Historical

Soul-Mate Romances (SMR)
Soul-mate romances are closely related to traditional romance fiction. In SMRs, the focus is on the heroine as she falls in love (lust) at first sight with her future mate, who is generally a paranormal being (usually a vampire or a shapeshifter). By the end of the book, they marry, or at least head off into a happy future together. There may be bumps along the way (ah, those stressful second thoughts and annoying plot intrusions!), but these books concentrate on the romantic relationship and end with the feeling that the couple will live happily ever after. Despite their similarity to regular romantic relationships, soul-mate bonds are much stronger than in traditional romances In fact, the soul-mate bond is a bond for life; if one dies, the other will also die, almost immediately.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a lack of time (and effort) on my part, I have been unable to keep this list up to date. If you cannot find the author, series, or book you are searching for on the list below, I suggest that you type the author's name or the name of the book or series into the "SEARCH" box located in the upper left-hand corner of this page. I keep meaning to update this list, but so far haven't been able to get to it. Mea culpa.

Urban Fantasy (UF):
The UF protagonist is usually an insecure loner with some type of developed or undeveloped supernatural power (e.g., necromancer, wizard, witch, empath, psychic, shapeshifter). He or she lives in an urban environment in the contemporary word, and has plenty of cynical attitude. The protagonist is often adopted, with birth parent(s) who deserted or died during his or her infancy. The mysterious parentage is an important ingredient in most UF fiction. The missing parent is almost always a supernatural being and provides the genetic background for the protagonist's own magical powers. Female protagonists frequently have red hair. Generally, the protagonist tells the story in a first person narrative, and the story arc extends over several books.

Chick Lit (CH):
Paranormal chick lit features attractive, hip, career-driven female protagonists, typically in their twenties and thirties, with some type of supernatural trait--from psychic to succubus. The heroine, who generally lives in an urban area, is frequently obsessed with her appearance and loves to shop (especially for shoes). As a rule, the plot follows the heroine's love life and her struggles for professional success (often in the publishing, advertising, or fashion industry). The tone is breezy and irreverent. The narration and dialogue frequently include profanity as well as current slang. The heroine's close relationships with her friends are very important to the stories. Sensuality levels are frequently high.
