Happy Tuesday, Bookworms! It’s a beautiful Tuesday and I am here to bring you my favorite paranormal romance series you need to binge ASAP! These series are so binge-able they will leave you with a book hangover!
I will be including the average rating for the first book to get you started (and excited) for the series!
Night Huntress Universe by Jeaniene Frost
Let’s start the list with one of my favorite worlds – The Night Huntress Universe! The main series – the Night Huntress novels have multiple series spin-offs already published! There are a total of 4 series in this universe and I have read them all. Be sure to check the author’s website for the reading order.
Series Background: This series features vampires, humans, ghouls, and ghosts. The heroine is a half-human-half-vampire and she is a vampire hunter.
Night Huntress
Series Background: This series is the one that started it all and it focuses on the amazing Cat and Bones. Characters in this main series book hop and even have their own series or HEAs! The newer books that have been published are in Bones’ POV. I also recommend the short novella A Grave Girl’s Getaway.
Books in series: 9 books, excluding novellas, series finished ?
Book 1 Ave Rating: Halfway to the Grave ★ 4.14

Psy-Changeling Series by Nalini Singh
The next series I highly, highly, HIGHLY, recommend is the Psy-Changeling series. This is one of the most amazing Urban Fantasy/Paranormal series I have ever read! There is now a “season 2” of the series which is currently ongoing. The world-building in this series is top-notch and I love how the series grows as we progress into it.
Series Background: This series features Changelings – what we usually call shifters, who shift into different animals, and Psy – humans who have powers and do not show emotion. This is set in an alternate universe in San Francisco (for the most part). A few trigger warnings exist for each book in the series, so please check them before starting. Each book features a different couple, however, there are multiple book-hopping characters and there is an overarching plot throughout the whole series.

Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole
Another series that I recently binged in 2022 is the Immortals After Dark series, and it was immensely fun, and left me with a huge book hangover! It’s funny because Immortals was one of the series that I didn’t plan on finishing and now I am absolutely taken by this series! This series is a fated mates series, which also started the Fated Mates podcast co-hosted by author Sarah MacLean and romance critic Jen Prokop.
Series Background: This series features beings from The Lore – valkyries, vampires, lykae, fey, shifters, and other creatures. This series has two intersecting series which are still a part of the whole series. Each book features a different couple, however, there are multiple book-hopping characters and there is an overarching plot throughout the whole series.

Stay a Spell by Juliette Cross
One of my favorite series is the amazing Stay a Spell series by Juliette Cross! This is series is a paranormal rom-com set in modern times! This series was so refreshing when I read the ARC for the first book because it was so fresh! A little bit low angst but steamy! Also, the covers of this series are so gorgeous!

Inferno Rising by Abigail Owen
This is another paranormal series that had a unique take on merging 2 series tother. These series are companion series and I love reading different POVs of the happenings in this world.
Series Background: This series is a paranormal series featuring dragon shifters, wolf shifters, phoenixes, gargoyles, and others! The two companion series: Inferno Rising and Fire’s Edge are to be read alternately.

I love that you included so many books! I am not really a paranormal romance reader, but I have read one of Singh’s contemporary romances. She’s a great author.
Singh is an amazing writer! I haven’t read her contemporaries yet, but it is on my TBR.
You have quite a lovely book selection here. I see a lot to choose from.
