The Allure of Shifterdom

Paranormal romance fiction is a beautiful universe.
In the past it was dominated by werewolves and vampires. These days the emergence of several shifter types, especially furry beings, has become common place in the paranormal romance domain. Whatever the flavour or setting you crave: vanilla, spicy, suspense, science fiction and criminal investigation, alternative history and even dystopian-there is something for you.
I have an affinity for tiger shifters-I believe tigers are one of most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom. And vampires are an all-time favourite. In paranormal romance fiction there is a delicious smorgasbord of shifter beings: cheetahs, panthers, hawks and crows. Even hot aliens, demons and angels have found their way into our book pages or ereader screens. Imaginations have been unequivocally stoked by endless possibilities and readers who adore the genre have a whole new heaven to explore-and seven is no longer the highest level of bliss.
But what is it about shifters that intrigues us? The enigma? The dark shades of another world where some things can never be explained? Maybe it’s the powerful and unique traits they possess and the human version of the being that either complements or is a stark contrast to their mystical side. Or is it the irresistible, never ending journey of questions, that even those of which are answerless, still propels us into giddy exploration and makes us pursue that coveted happy ending, or at least the promise of such?
What intrigues you, dear reader?

Have a good one!
