Paranormal Teen Romances for Twilight’s 20th Anniversary

Spooky season is upon us, and so is the 20th anniversary of the classic YA paranormal romance, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Besides just werewolves and vampires, paranormal romance can include a wide range of supernatural beings, such as witches, ghosts, and other forms of the undead. Whether you are Team Edward or Team Jacob, we have some books for you!

For the Team Edward fans, Till Death is another great vampire romance story. George is a vampire, forever in the body of a 19-year-old, and he's about to lose his first love to old age. Howard is human and looking forward to starting college, where he can get a fresh start. The two meet and begin to see a future where neither of them has to be alone, even if it means Howard must lose his mortality.

Don't think I forgot about you, Team Jacob! If you're looking for a werewolf romance, Tsumiki Ogami's Not-so-ordinary Life is a great manga series for you. Human Yukata Shinso transfers to a high school full of supernatural creatures such as ogres, vampires, and of course, werewolves. He meets popular werewolf student, Tsumiki Ogami. She is as confident as Yukata is shy, and the two strike up a friendship that could become something more.

If you're interested in ghosts, The Ghosts of Rose Hill is for you. Ilana Lopez is sent to stay with her aunt in Prague, where she discovers a Jewish cemetery behind the family cottage. She meets a ghost boy, Benjamin, who is buried in the cemetery and died over a century ago. When a mysterious man offers to share his magic so Ilana and Benjamin can be together forever, she makes some harrowing discoveries and vows to help the boy she loves, even if it means releasing his spirit and losing him forever.

If witches are more your speed, Love Spells Trouble is a fake dating trope romance. Witches and humans have notoriously never gotten along, which is why Cayden's witch mom was shunned by her high society coven parents when she married Cayden's human dad. When Cayden accidentally goes on a date with a popular coven boy, Khy Carter, she realizes she may be able to use the relationship to help her dad's failing bakery and rediscover her witchy side. However, everything gets complicated when real feelings start getting involved.

Zombies deserve love too! The Undead Truth of Us follows sixteen year old Zharie, who has the ability to see zombies ever since her mother died. When a boy named Bo moves into her apartment building, she doesn't care much for him at first until she sees him transform into a half-zombie creature. Suddenly, she wonders if getting to know him will get her some answers about why she can see zombies, and maybe more about her mother's untimely death.
