It’s the spooky season. Time for the pumpkins to come out. Time to watch horror shows and munch on popcorn. It’s time to jump when you think you see something in the shadows.
Normally, I talk about romantic suspense books in my monthly post here, but, in honor of the spooky season, I thought I’d expand things a wee bit. Let’s chat about supernatural romantic suspense.
In supernatural romantic suspense, our heroes and heroines aren’t just dealing with the usual danger. Nope, not just talking about abductions and murders and those twisted serial killers. With supernatural romantic suspense, there’s a whole new element at play—a completely unpredictable element. Monsters. Those monsters can be vampires, demons, werewolves—you name it. Readers don’t face typical killers in these tales, and because the killers are - so - beyond the norm, the normal rules don’t apply. These villains can come back again and again. They can have incredible powers.
In other words, the hero and heroine will be in for the fight of their lives.
There are plenty of authors who write supernatural romantic suspense. Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters books feature an elite FBI paranormal team that tracks down the worst of the worst bad guys. The series kicks off with PHANTOM EVIL. According to Heather’s website, there are 21 novels (and lots of novellas!) in this series, so there is plenty of paranormal fun to be had for readers.
Another author who can write a great blend of sizzling suspense and supernatural danger? Christine Feehan. I loved her Sea Haven – Sisters of the Heart books. Each sister has a power that absolutely enchanted me. This particular series starts with WATER BOUND—a book that is still on my keeper shelf!
What supernatural romantic suspense tales have you read and enjoyed? And may you have an incredible spooky season!

Ice Breaker Cold Case Romance
You can’t run from him.
U.S. Marshal Titan Everett never loses his prey, and he always stays mission oriented. His latest mission? He’s working with a group of cold case solvers called the Ice Breakers—he’s chasing down a runaway witness, a woman who may be the key to solving a string of unsolved murders. Seems like a simple enough job. After the hell he’s seen, locating one Cassidy Jacobs, former kindergarten teacher, should be a walk in the park.
She doesn’t want to be found.
When you manage to escape from a twisted killer—who happened to be your boyfriend—you grab life by both hands and you hold on tight. You run like mad from danger, you reinvent yourself over and over, and you don’t look back. Ever. Unless, of course, the past comes barreling at you in the form of one truly massive and strong U.S. marshal.
Titan is big, dangerous, and determined to bring Cassidy back home. He also has the most incredible eyes she’s ever seen and a voice that makes her whole body ache with longing…Problematic. Very. Because the last time she fell hard for a sexy stranger, he wound up being a monster.
Home is where the nightmare waits.
Scarred and twisted by his own past, Titan never claims to be anyone’s hero. He barely talks, and charming is the last word anyone would ever associate with him. The bubbly, beautiful Cassidy is his complete opposite, and the scorching, primal attraction he feels for her catches him completely off guard as they embark on what has to be the road trip from hell.
Unfortunately, Titan isn’t the only one who has found Cassidy. She’s been running non-stop, but she just can’t seem to run far enough—or fast enough—to evade the man who wants her dead. When Titan saves her life and promises protection, she agrees to a partnership with him. He’ll protect her, and she’ll help him draw out the killer. No biggie. Not like she’s utterly and completely terrified.
But eventually, you have to stop running and start fighting.
This isn’t just another hunt for Titan. Everything has changed in his world because of Cassidy. Losing her can’t happen, but putting the man in the ground who has been terrorizing her? Absolutely on Titan’s to-do list. New mission: Protect Cassidy and catch a killer. And when the case is closed, maybe Cassidy will want to start a new life once again…only this time, with Titan at her side.
U.S. Marshal Titan Everett is on the hunt. On the outside, Titan looks scary as the devil, and he’s well aware that he often sends small children running. But Cassidy isn’t afraid of him. Beautiful, bold, and with a spark for life that draws him close, she is unlike anyone he’s ever met before. She needs help, and she’s going to get it. Because from the first moment he sees her, Titan knows…he will move heaven and fight hell to keep her safe.
