I write adult paranormal, but I also love YA paranormal, and plan on writing a YA paranormal at some point (under my Angelia Almos pen name). So, I'm gonna talk about another writer's young adult paranormal romances. I recently started reading Courtney Rene 's books and have found them to be fun page turners which I don't want to put down until I reach The End. If you haven't checked out Courtney Rene's books, here's a peek at them. A Howl in the Night features a girl learning she's a shape shifting wolf. The Shadow Dancer series is about a girl learning she's a shadow walker and a princess of another realm. Engaging characters and lots of twists in Courtney's books keep you turning the pages. For the hop, I've decided to give away a $5 Amazon giftcard. Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win. a Rafflecopter giveaway
