RATINGS

A reader generally searches for a book or a series that has certain characteristics that have proven enjoyable in past reading experiences. Because three prominent characteristics in modern paranormal fiction are VIOLENCE, SENSUALITY, and HUMOR, I rate each series with a 1 - 5 index for each of those characteristics. 

Here is an explanation for the ratings:

V - Violence Index

      1. Minor arguments

     2. Yelling and shouting

     3. Fistfights, slapping, and hitting

     4. Frequent fights and battles with injuries and fatalities with some details

     5. Bloodthirsty brutality, including beheadings, with lots of details

S - Sensuality Index

      1. No sensuality at all

     2. Kisses and hugs

     3. Sex, but no details

     4. Sexual scenes with lots of details.

     5. Hardcore sexual scenes with graphic details

H - Humor Index 

    1. No humor—just serious stories

     2. A few smiles

     3. Mild, easy-going humor among the characters

     4. Funny stories with quirky characters

     5. One laugh after another—over-the-top laughs

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 in 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.

Following are lists of books and series reviewed on this blog that are sorted according to low ratings (1-2) and high ratings (4-5) of violence, sensuality, and humor. Note that in some series, sensuality levels change from book to book.
