Im A Little Tired Of Vampires! Does Anyone Know Any Other Good Supernatural Books To Read?
Ive been reading about Vampires for awhile now. And even though I love them. I think its time for a break. I like reading supernatural books, have any suggestions?

Divine messengers will be featured in more than a dozen new titles in the coming months, with publishers positioning angels as the heirs apparent to creatures of the night.
Hush, Hush, a much-buzzed-about tale of forbidden love from first-time author Becca Fitzpatrick, has seen its release date bumped from next spring to next month. Lauren Kate’s Fallen, the first of a planned four-book series, has been awarded a December publication. And Libba Bray’s Going Bovine, featuring a punk angel, arrives in stores this month, alongside Sharon Creech’s The Unfinished Angel.

Thank god! Vampires in literature have taken a severe beating with the mediocrity stick lately!
I would try anything by Terry Brooks. Definitely a favorite author of mine.
