Re: Things You'd Like To See In Paranormal YA

I really like your suggestion "fear of growing up/remaining a kid". I feel like this can be a good coming of age that doesn't necessarily focus on a romantic partner. I'd like it even more if there was no romantic partner if the first book (sure, a small crush could be acknowledge every now and then)but damnit! The world is going on without me/or whatever!

That particular feeling is especially raw now as I'm in my early 20s and "moving forward". Questioning what makes you an adult and what doesn't.

For the OP, I also think that focusing on familial or friendship relations is important. Mentors are always pretty cool, but I don't think there should be someone to solve all the protagonist's problems; and if you stick with what the poster above mentioned about black and white morality, maybe the protagonist begins to see that their mentor isn't as black and white as he/she thought.

Side note:
I dislike the idea/trope of beautiful monsters. I mean, I do think they should be attractive, at least something is alluring, that's all part of the appeal--the danger. There's something about them that draws you in, but at the same time something that repels you. And I think that at the moment of "monstrosity" (as it were), the monster should like what it is--no dissemblance of what we want it to be. I.e. the vampire may be somewhat attractive, but when the time comes to bite, you gtfo because you're scared and this isn't who you thought it was.
