Fresh Fiction Blog | Lia Davis | Top Five Paranormal Heroes

I love paranormal romance so much it's hard for me to pick an absolute favorite type of hero. Sure vampires and shifters are a little higher on my list, but when I really think about it, it's the magical world that is so much like our own, yet different in the sense that creatures walk among humans. But it’s the not-so-human heroes that add to the element of hotness and danger I love more.

Here is my top five list of favorite PNR heroes.

Vampires

What's not to love? I'm talking about romance heroes here, not the horror movie vamps. Vampire heroes are sexy, possessive, dangerous and great lovers (so I'm told be their heroines *wink* ) They can be a little overprotective even when the heroine is more than capable of taking care of herself.

Shifters or Weres

I like wolves, big cats, bears, and dragons. They're fierce protectors like vamps and they also bite. *grins* I love the connection between their human side and animal side, and the internal conflict it raises when their mate turns out to be human. Many shifter packs are close, family units and protect one another at all cost.

Demons

The bad boys of the paranormal world. I love the redeemable hero. You know the ones. They have a dark past, or dark magic about them that puts an edge to their personalities. They're not above going after what they want and getting it. Yet, when that special female comes around, their softer side shows ever so slightly. But they wouldn't ever admit to being soft in any way.

Angels

Don't let the name fool you. Angels are not always angelic. They're warriors fighting for good over evil. They're just as fierce and protective as their dark counterparts. And they can fly!

Witches

I love the magic and the diversity among them. They can possess supernatural powers and use magic at their will. Others use the natural magic of the earth and universe to mix potions and create spells. Either way magic is a sole part of who they are.

Comments

My favorite type of PNR hero is the shifter. Am fascinated by
the portrayals of pack dynamics, a whole different side of the
hero to explore, and how the author managed to show the
compatibility of romantic couple.
(G. Bisbjerg 12:09pm March 12, 2015)

Oh I love Paranormals... what a variety out there, but one of my favs are the shifters... love their ability to change form!
(Colleen Conklin 12:55pm March 12, 2015)

Angels captivate me. Talk about powers from above. It's always
interesting to see how things play out.
(Tressie Leppo 2:35pm March 12, 2015)

I think vampires are my top favorite. They are quite old and think of all the history they have lived through and seen. I would love to visit the past. If only time travel
was possible. LOL
(Earlene Gillespie 4:29pm March 12, 2015)

Vampires are my favorites, because they're just so sexy and
tormented!
(Janie McGaugh 9:04pm March 12, 2015)

Because I consider myself to be more of a "good girl," I
would have to choose the Angel out of the paranormal Heroes.
I try to fight for good over evil in my own life, so I can
relate. The runner up would be a toss-up between shape
shifters and witches. The shape shifters, because it would
be such a rush to be able to turn into something else if you
needed to escape from a situation!! I also like the Witch,
because I would like to be able to cast a spell on someone
if they did something they shouldn't have, either to me, or
to someone else, in retaliation. I also have other reasons,
and a Witch would be the perfect reason why. Your latest
book sounds really interesting, and would make a great read,
so I've put it on my TBR list. Congratulations on what I
know will be a good seller!!
(Peggy Roberson 9:11pm March 12, 2015)

Got to go with the Shifters. There are so many
possibilities - wolves, lion, tiger, bear...oh my!
(Samantha Tennant 11:26pm March 12, 2015)

I love Paranormal and Angels are my pick. They have that
goodness bout them yet I wouldn't want to make them angry.
Fallen are even better because they've had that badness locked
up for so long I can only imagine how it's going to play out.
:)thanks for the post.

I believe everyone has a bit of magic in them. They only need to tap into it... ;>
(S W 5:02pm March 13, 2015)

You are a new author to me, so I hope I win.
(Judy Ferguson 7:38pm March 13, 2015)

Vampires are my favorite because there are many different
things that go into play when they show up. They are full of
cool things and I just love reading books about them
(Chris K 10:54pm March 13, 2015)

Angels because they give me a feeling that I dont think anyone
else feels but the make me feel good about me and what I will
probably come one day and sometimes they can be bad.
(Mary Byars 10:57pm March 13, 2015)

The paranormal creature I would pick is shifters due to the
vast majorities of them and dynamics that have been put into
them. I really enjoy everything that happens during the
paranormal occurrence of them.
(Angela Mansfield 11:55pm March 13, 2015)

Shifters. I like the way they use their human thoughts/behaviors when the are shifted. I also like it when they keep some of their shifter attributes in human form - Bear shifters are very large, foxes are sneaky theives.
(Anne Jones 2:16am March 14, 2015)

Shifters are my favorite. Has to be because one minute
they are in one form and the next a different form. Love
them.
(Jennifer Ingman 11:46am March 14, 2015)

I became fascinated reading two different authors books in both shifter angels and wolves/werewolves...so those are my two most favorites, since once I started the angel series of 3 books, that were so good, I couldn't put them down and hated for the series to come to an end. I love those that draw you in so deeply. Paranormal romances of all types intrigue me. As a kid, I stayed up til the wee hours watching every vampire, werewolf, mummy, monster movie one after the other, every Fri. night with my sister. We loved them!
(Linda Luinstra 4:19pm March 14, 2015)

Not a usual paranormal reader but willing to learn, This sounds very interesting story!!!
(LeAnn Knott 5:31pm March 14, 2015)

I love them all, as long as he´s Alpha and *rawr*worthy =)
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Saturday!
//Linda
(Linda Larsson 7:10pm March 14, 2015)

I really love shifters--especially big cat
shifters and dragon shifters along with
vampires because they are all Alpha!!!
(Ashley Applebee 9:13pm March 14, 2015)

I love shifters, especially
wolves and bears but I also like
reading about different shifters
like rabbits, hedgehogs and
dolphins. I am not a big vampire
or demon fan, I do enjoy the
angel stories sometimes. Thank
you
(Gina Keitz 2:58am March 15, 2015)

Shifters. There can be so much variety.
(Laura Gullickson 4:24am March 15, 2015)

This sounds like a book I'd love to read. I love the cover too!! Thanks so much for the chance!!!!
(Bonnie Capuano 9:45am March 15, 2015)

You glad spring is almost here so tired of the cold and
snow.
(Emily Stemp 10:53am March 15, 2015)

Were Bears are the best because who can resist a big ol' teddy bear.
(Sarah Ulfers 1:09pm March 15, 2015)

Witches/Wizards/Sorcerers are my favorite because I love reading about the science/theories behind magic.
(Lisa L. 3:58pm March 15, 2015)

My favourite are shifters. Probably because the hero was a
shifter in the paranormal book I ever read.
(Jen Barnard 4:36pm March 15, 2015)

That was supposed to say "first paranormal".
(Jen Barnard 4:37pm March 15, 2015)

I love how protective & chivalrous shifters are. Thanks.
(Jana B 6:04pm March 15, 2015)
