Paranormal romance books are still flooding the market thanks to the Twilight series. It’s not my genre of choice mostly because of clichés and overdone love triangles with the main character always falling for the total creep. But, these are not the things that describe Yvonne Woon’s Dead Beautiful. Of all the paranormal romance books…
