Parnormal Romance
Paranormal romance combines modern day worlds with the elements of magic and mystery that fantasy worlds often employ. In some cases, these elements are hidden from the general population, and in other versions of the world, they're out in the open. Either is possible when we're talking about paranormal romances.
Here you'll find the vampires, werewolves, and other creatures of modern and past mythologies. The worlds are dark, of course. There are evils in every corner, sometimes supernatural, but sometimes evil is more human than anything else. It's a matter of what shape evil takes in the story, and sometimes it is unexpected and not what is regularly expected.
Supernatural St. Louis is a universe where different creatures and people come together to make a unique blend of culture. With vampires, werewolves, witches, alchemists, and fae, plus other less common supernatural creatures, the night is alive in St. Louis. The year 2000 brought new life to a fading community when they were revitalized by new leadership in the various Supernatural community and the founding of Mystic Ring in the large city. They uphold the Mirage, or the secret of the supernaturals of the world.
In doing so, though, there are always those who seek to eradicate those that are different, whether they bring harm to humans or not. Between strange drugs meant to destroy entire swaths of supernaturals, to ancient gods and prophecies making themselves known, the heroes in St. Louis will have a lot to deal with.
Bellamy’s world is turned upside down when he finds out the truth about his heritage on the day his mother dies. He’s not human, and neither was she.

He is a rare creation, a perfect blending of positive and negative energies from the outer planes, called a Nephilim.
The demons that killed his mother are on his trail, and and kill the angel trying to help him. In running away, he meets an angel named Saniel who offers to take him to their home on Earth, Elysium. There, he meets Saraquiel, Soma, and a host of angels, including the group of leaders, each one called a Princeps Angelus. Some agree with him joining them, others decry his demonic bloodline as impure. In the end, he joins them, and fights demons, but he finds that not everything is as it seems.
When the world turns against him through no fault of his own, he’s left wondering exactly who is the people he should be trusting, and who should he be afraid of.
All is definitely not as it seems, and Bellamy begins a journey that leads him down a path he never expected, one fraught with horrors unbelievable, but also with wonder of creation that no one, not even his angelic and demonic brethren, expects.
