Love is in the air and in these books

Humans can fall in love, but so can vampires, werewolves, ghosts, angels, fairies, and immortals. These romance books are filled with characters that aren't quite human.

Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend by Alan Cumyn

Everything changes for a teenage girl with a perfectly controlled life when she falls for the hot new first-ever interspecies transfer student, a pterodactyl named Pyke.

Zenn Diagram by Wendy Brant

Math nerd Eva Walker finds her ability to read other people's emotions by touching them or an item they own to be helpful when she is tutoring, until she meets Zenn, a boy with a troubling past who she cannot seem to read.

The Best Kind of Magic by Crystal Cestari

Amber Sand has the magical ability to envision anyone's soul mate, but when Charlie Blitzman, the Chicago mayor's son and most-desired boy in school, comes to Amber for help in finding his father's missing girlfriend, Amber sadly sees that Charlie is not destined for her.

Hearts & other body parts by Ira Bloom

There are two new boys at Middleton High: Norman, who is eight-feet-tall and looks like he was put together after an accident, and Zack, the impossibly handsome transfer from Europe, and soon the three witch sisters, Esme, Katy, and Ronnie, are in an all out competition for Zack's attention--but Esme is also drawn to Norman, and he is the only one who seems to notice that students who go off alone with Zack seem to suffer from amnesia, or disappear entirely.

Freeks by Amanda Hocking

Mara longs for a normal life while her friends perform supernatural feats in Gideon Davorin's Traveling Sideshow, but a sinister threat reveals an ability she never knew she had.

Haunted by Alexandra Adornetto

Past and present collide when Alexander Reade returns to Sycamore High, but with no memory of how he got there and the belief that he is searching for his lost love Isobel, it is up to Chole Kennedy, the girl he can't remember to help him.

The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle

Most people have no idea goblins live in the woods around the small town of Bellwater, Washington. But some are about to find out.

The Romeo Catchers by Alys Arden

Tormented by the fate she condemned her mother to, and by the lies she’s forced to tell to cover it up, Adele scours Storm-ravaged New Orleans for the truth about her family’s magical past. But every turn leads her back to the one person she’s determined to forget: Niccolo Medici. Not even the multitude of enchanted locks on the attic door trapping Nicco within can break their connection.
