The Ravenfall Dark Ones series is one of Katie MacAlister’s longest-running paranormal romance lines. Starting with A Girl’s Guide to Vampires in 2003, the series follows different heroines who become entangled with Dark Ones, a race of vampires who each have a fated mate. The books blend romance with supernatural elements and a generous helping of comedy.
MacAlister’s approach to vampire romance is lighter than many entries in the genre. Titles like Sex and the Single Vampire, Even Vampires Get the Blues, and Much Ado About Vampires signal the playful tone. The series also includes young adult entries such as Confessions of a Vampire’s Girlfriend and Circus of the Darned, which bring younger characters into the same supernatural world.
With eighteen books spanning over two decades, the Dark Ones series is a cornerstone of MacAlister’s catalog. The most recent entry, A Vampire in a Pear Tree (2025), shows that the series continues to grow. Readers who enjoy paranormal romance with humor will find plenty of material here.
