Karina Halle has a unique voice in romance.  Her stories have an edge to them that is a little bit grunge and a little bit inappropriate, but that we absolutely love!  She easily crosses genres from supernatural to contemporary romance to dark and gritty to horror.  While we haven’t featured all of her books on this page (we still have more to read!), these are definite favourites, and ones that we’ll be rereading over and over again.

Experiment in Terror

One of my all-time favourite series!  The story of Perry Palomino and Dex Foray is a slow-burning, angsty romance, brimming with UST, gloriously inappropriate humour and some seriously spooky goings on.  With a strong supernatural theme, these books border on paranormal, with one continuous storyline – so make sure you read them in order!!  (Novellas are indented in the list below, and are an important part of the overall story, so make sure you don’t skip them!).
