24 Paranormal Romance Books That Are Spookily Sexy

There's a bit more gothic flair than out-and-out paranormal beasties in "The Widow of Rose House" ($9) by Diana Biller. In 1875, Alva is finally able to return to New York after the death of the monstrous husband she fled. Despite the whirl of scandal around her, she's determined to restore the old mansion and rebuild her life — only to find that the mansion is, unfortunately, haunted. She enlists the help of an eccentric young professor, Samuel, to get to the bottom of the hauntings and the house's tragic past, and along the way, the two outcasts just might find what they've been missing in each other.
