My favorite paranormal is the shapeshifters. Especially the dragons or big cats. 😀

I think the angels that are starting to crop up are extremely interesting…Lassiter in the BDB and Remy Chandler in Sniegoskie’s urban fantasy series….

Definitely any kind of were! I love them! Especially since so many paranormal writers today use the basis of American Indian culture in their weres! My hubby is almost full American Indian, so I’m VERY biased about them! 😀

This was a super hard decision, but I have to go with vamps. Kenyon and Ward pushed me to their side over Cole and Ione’s demons. But it was super close.

I’M the demon kind of girl. I like them bad.*wink*
But I have nothing against an alpha shifter or a vampire(as long as they don’t sparkle :lol:).

It depends on the story for me. I could love them all if they suck me into their story!!
December 28th, 2009 at 2:02 pm · Link
Shifters—especially cats.
December 28th, 2009 at 2:51 pm · Link
Well I love Vamps, but if i have to pick something other than vamps it would be Werewolfs.
I can say if the writer can make me feel for the paranormal what ever it is, I can love any of them.

Vampires and Werewolves!
I’ve never read any shapeshifters…
December 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm · Link
I started out with vampires, and moved on to werewolves. However, I’ve really fallen in love with gargoyles
December 28th, 2009 at 3:40 pm · Link
Favorite Paranormal Urban Fantasy Person is a Witch, Favorite Beast would be the Werewolf and Favorite Creature is the Mighty Dragon… I would have to say if someone wrote a book with a Witch who could shape shift into a Werewolf for ground fighting and a Dragon for aerial combat that would be some adventure for me to read….

Vampires. More specifically, Mencheres from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress books. His frosty exterior surely conceals molten lava beneath.

I am big fan of vampires (but not the sparkly kind)
I prefer the Black Dagger Brotherhood kinds of vampires.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:15 pm · Link
I love the shape-shifters, especially Kate Douglas’s Chanku. Kresley Cole is also a wonderful writer of paranormal creatures!
December 28th, 2009 at 4:23 pm · Link
I originally was really into vampires, but lately I adore the shifters
December 28th, 2009 at 4:39 pm · Link
Vampire, of course 😉
December 28th, 2009 at 5:01 pm · Link
I love shifters. any type!
December 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pm · Link
My favorite has to be a vampire. Just something about sucking….on necks. lol.
December 28th, 2009 at 5:08 pm · Link
I’m going to have to go with the Anne Rice type vampires; creepy, but with enough human characteristics written in to make you sort of like them 🙂
December 28th, 2009 at 5:32 pm · Link
I love all paranormal characters. I guess shape shifters and fairies would be the best ones.
December 28th, 2009 at 5:34 pm · Link
Umm, do I have to pick only one? 😈
I like them all really. I like the big, strong virile type!
This looks like an awesome book! Thanks for the chance!

My favorite paranormal creature is the shapeshifter…but witches vampires and others do not lag very far behind. 🙂
December 28th, 2009 at 6:07 pm · Link
Vampires, weres, fae, demons, dragons – oh, I cant pick just one. 😀
December 28th, 2009 at 6:23 pm · Link
I love fae. Mostly Unseelie fae. They are usually so diverse and have many aspects to them
December 28th, 2009 at 6:53 pm · Link
There are so many good ones! Lately I’ve really liked the fallen angels. There’s just something about the bad guy, good guy thing… 😀

December 28th, 2009 at 6:55 pm · Link
Vampires were my first love and while not my only, probably my last love too!
December 28th, 2009 at 6:56 pm · Link
I love love the fantasy world of Kresley Cole; vampires, werewolves, valkerie etc
December 28th, 2009 at 7:01 pm · Link
I think I’m with the majority when I say there are too many favorites to choose from! I love vampires, shapeshifters, faes – – all of them.
December 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pm · Link
My current favorite is GA Aiken’s dragon shifters 🙂 I love the difference between their human and dragon forms, and they’re so entertaining!
December 28th, 2009 at 8:14 pm · Link
whoohoo finally one of Anya I don’t have lol. My favorite is Dragon shifters or kitty shifters. I am fasciniated with both. Not too many dragons but kitty cats are getting real popular.

December 28th, 2009 at 8:26 pm · Link

Oh man I have to pick a favorite??? I like vampires…and most were animals. But if I have to pick a favorite it would be . . . (brain starts to fry now, turns fan on to remove smoky smell) the men of the Carpathian mountains in Christine Feehan’s Dark Series. To have a man that will put your needs above his own is just amazing…to claim me as his lifemate, the thing he needs more than anything else…I could so handle becoming a blood drinker if it meant I was not evil as well.
But in all honest truth that is a hard choice cause so many authors have such amazing things that draw me into them.

My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters who shift into mythical beings, like dragons. Because then you know it’s completely unbelievable and don’t get annoyed by little mistakes that make more normal things less real.

It would have to be Anita Blake from the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. All that stored up rage and the power over the undead makes for a very interesting story :).
