My top ten paranormal creatures - Karen Swart

Wow, this was a tricky list to combine. I love so many, that to place them in a top ten post was hectic. Well, here we go…

Berserkers – I really love berserkers, especially the novels I have read about them. They are the ultimate warrior that you don’t want to meet in a fight. And yes, the blue eyes make me swoonJ I also love the fact that they are Odin’s warrior, love Norse mythology.
Werewolf – Protective, territorial and oh my, to die for. Novels with werewolves in them always have me turning the pages faster just to get a glimpse of the werewolf. Jacob totally did it for me J Yeah! Team Jacob!
Dragons – If you have read Katie Macalister Dragon Series, you will know why I love them. Baltic was my favorite, freaking hilarious guy.
Vampires - Of course this one will be on my list! I mean come on, Demitri from Archangel’s blade, Lothaire, Gabriel from The Dark Series and the list continues. Nope, sorry ladies but Edward didn’t do it for me.
Fae – This would be the Fever Series from Karen Marie Moning’s fault. Yeah, I know Christian is a dark prince, but still oh my.
Angels – Oh wow, there is also a few guys like Nalini Singh’s Guilt hunter Series and Gena Showalters Angels of The Dark Series, which will leave you drooling. Packed with beautiful wings, we also have the super angel’s laced with phenomenal bodies and to die for love.
Demons – I think this would explain it all. The Lords of the Underworld and Demonica. Swooning again. I loved that for once, it’s not all evil in these series and we can see another side to demons.
Dhampir- Just one word would do it – Dimitri.
Gods –We have the ever famous Acheron from The dark Hunter Series, his book was the first to make me cry, it took me a week to read it. Freaking sad oneL.
Witches – never ever mess with a witch. I love the magic part, but also the “I get totally piss off and curse you for eternity” part. A lot of novels have started to give witches a huge face lift, and they really needed it. They go from evil witch, to totally ass kicking witches.

And that’s my top ten paranormal creatures and the reasons why I love them.
