Which Best Paranormal Series Books Follow A Family Of Monster Hunters?
After loving Supernatural and The Witcher, I'm hooked on families in horror fiction taking down creatures together across generations. Any other series with this vibe?

The 'Repairman Jack' series by F. Paul Wilson ties into his larger 'Adversary Cycle,' and while Jack is a lone fixer, he is fiercely protective of his girlfriend Gia and her daughter Vicky, who become his family. The threats are increasingly supernatural and cosmic. He's not a hunter by trade, but he constantly ends up hunting monsters and malign forces to protect his fledgling family unit. It's a slower burn on the family front, but the drive to protect them becomes the core motivation for facing down ever-greater horrors. It's more of a 'man becomes a monster hunter because of his family' narrative.

Don't sleep on indie and web serials! There's a fantastic progression fantasy on RoyalRoad called 'Beneath the Dragoneye Moons' where the healer protagonist, Elaine, is part of a lineage of guardians, but it's not strictly monster hunting... Hmm. Actually, for a pure family guild dynamic in a serial, 'The Wandering Inn' has the Reinhart family, but again, not hunters per se. The point is, the trad-pub answers will be limited. The real juicy, specific tropes are being explored in depth on serial platforms where 'clan-based monster hunting' is a whole subgenre. You just have to dig a bit.

Ever read the 'Barrow Will' series? I might be mangling the name. There's a series about a family of monster hunters in the Old West. Or was that a comic? 'East of West' has families, but it's a sci-fi political apocalypse. I have a vague memory of a book about a family traveling in a wagon hunting wendigos. Maybe it's from a podcast. This is going to bug me all day. The internet has ruined my memory for book titles.

Is it cheating to say the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' novelizations and continuation comics? Because the core Scooby Gang is a chosen family, and Buffy herself comes from a line of Slayers (a kinda-sorta family legacy). The later season comic continuations, especially, delve into Buffy building a literal army of Slayers, which has a big found-family vibe. The novels by various authors capture the show's tone well—monster-of-the-week hunts with deep emotional stakes for the 'family' unit. It's not a blood family business, but it absolutely fits the spirit of the question if you're flexible.

A classic that often gets overlooked: the 'David Hooper' series by John Birmingham? No, that's not it. I'm mixing up my shelves. Maybe the 'Tome of Bill'? That's about a vampire, not a hunter. See, this is why I shouldn't post before coffee. I have a whole shelf of urban fantasy, and the perfect title is dancing just out of reach. I'll come back if it hits me.

Everything North Campbell believes about her life is a lie. She doesn't discover that until the night her father dies, and she learns he wasn't her father. He kidnapped her as a baby from her birth parents, Jim and Carol Allis. They seem ecstatic to find her, but she quickly learns they, along with their powerful dragon-shifter ally Pytor Douglas, have nefarious plans for her.
She runs straight into the arms of another mysterious group, and they tell her she's a Trueblood—descended from all the mythic races and capable of great power. She's at risk, but the Council assigns her six bodyguards, and the Oracle has seen her future husband is among the six.
North is dragged from realm to realm to learn how to use her powers. That task seems impossible—almost as impossible as choosing just one man from among the six mythics entrusted with her protection. How can she choose between a vampire, an angel, a demon, a witch, a dark elf, and a wolf-shifter when each of the men is perfect for her in different ways? Dare she risk everything and choose them all? Will she have a chance to make the decision, or will Pytor's group get her first?
Forget everything paranormal romance taught you about playing it safe. The vampires here don't sparkle and the werewolves don't apologize for their nature, here the demons are surprisingly good at negotiation.
Freaky After Dark is a collection of steamy paranormal stories where supernatural creatures get to be exactly what they are; powerful, possessive, and irresistibly magnetic.
These aren't just about pretty faces with fangs. Every creature has their own nature, their own needs, their own way of loving that's deliciously different from anything human.
From vampires whose bites promise pleasure to werewolves who claim their mates under the full moon and demons who seduce with words as much as touch, Nagas who wrap around you, Dragons whose warmth becomes addictive. And yes, a few beings with creative anatomy.
There's an actual story here with conflict, emotion and characters who probably want more than just a quick hook-up. But when desire takes over, these creatures don't hold back, they are intense, devoted, and they know exactly how to make you forget your own name.
Expect claiming marks, protective possession, fated mates, size differences, primal need, reverse harem and pleasures that borders on overwhelming, and supernatural stamina that doesn't quit.
️Not for you if: you prefer things slow and gentle, or if the idea of non-human lovers doesn't appeal.
Perfect for you if: you've always wondered what it would be like to be wanted by something powerful, to be claimed by someone who'll never let go, to find out if monsters really are better in bed.
Are you ready to find out what you've been missing?
Three forbidden mates. Three supernatural bonds. One twisted fate.
A vampire bred for bloodshed. A dragon prince who defies his crown. A demon with nothing left to lose.
For Marcus DeLuca, a mate has always been an impossibility. But fate gives him one anyway. A werewolf. His mortal enemy. And she’s already promised to her alpha. Will he betray his father and Elders to keep Danielle alive?
Aidan is supposed to be untouchable. But one reckless decision—one taste of Sarah—and he shatters every rule that keeps their worlds apart. Now he’s losing control, becoming the greatest danger to Sarah’s life. Can he still protect his reluctant mate?
Zane is used to being wanted. Desired. Feared. As an incubus, pleasure is his weapon—and his curse. But Elena is different. Smart. Ruthless. Untouchable. Not interested in him in the slightest. Can he survive the one woman who sees the monster inside him?
Their bonds are brutal. Addictive. Dangerous.
And the only thing more deadly than loving each other is what happens if they don't.
Born into blood. Forged in cruelty. Trained to kill.
Seventeen-year-old Sophie is the last heir of the original Hunter bloodline, raised under the merciless hand of her grandfather, the Grand Wizard. Every scar she carries was earned in his service, every ounce of her strength forged through his brutal demands. Among her peers, she’s earned another name—the Ice Queen—untouchable, unyielding, and impossible to break.
But when the devastatingly charming Jax Kilsome strides into her life, Sophie’s carefully built walls begin to crack. With war against the Wolf Nation looming, she finds herself torn between her role as her grandfather’s heir and the unexpected family she discovers in her Hunter squad. For the first time, loyalty isn’t just about blood—it’s about belonging.
As the Hunters prepare for their most dangerous campaign yet, Sophie must navigate treacherous alliances, the stirrings of her guarded heart, and the secrets of a bloodline that may be both her greatest weapon and her ultimate curse.
Cold steel, fierce bonds, and forbidden fire—Sophie’s war is only just beginning.
Callie Evans was trained to kill vampires. Now she's falling in love with one.
As her town falls prey to a series of supernatural attacks, Callie and her family of hunters must uncover the vampire hidden in their midst - before it's too late. Drawn into a love triangle and struggling with her own morality, Callie has to fight to find herself again.
Dean and Cataleya are a brother and sister who help to lead of group of hunters targeting the mythical beings that threaten the humans in their northern Arizona town. They are getting ready to start a new year in college when certain events lead to an unlikely partnership with a nearby werewolf pack they share a rocky truce with. As tensions run high, secrets from the past come to light throwing their lives in a direction neither of them ever saw coming.
Alec, Zander, and Kade are werewolves ready to start their leadership roles in their pack. First they have to deal with an odd increase in rogue activity. As they are searching for answers they find a whole lot more than they bargained for when they are forced to work with the hunters they always try to avoid. Keeping everyone safe may be what brought them all together, but will new found relationships keep them together or widen the chasm that has been there for generations?
For a lighthearted, comedic take, the 'InCryptid' series by Seanan McGuire is perfect. The Price family are cryptozoologists who protect magical creatures (cryptids) from monster hunters and vice versa. Each generation has its own field guide and area of study. The series switches perspectives between siblings, showing how they uphold the family tradition while dealing with talking mice, cults, and relationship drama. It's a wonderful blend of biological family, absurd humor, and genuine love for the weird and wonderful.
I've never been confused by the lack of a timeline. If anything, it's refreshing. Every story is a new opportunity to see a hunter face down a monster with their wits and weapon. The setting is familiar, but the story is fresh. I don't need to remember if this takes place before or after the 'Apex' crisis or whatever. I just need to know the hunter is out of potions and the monster is angry. That's the good stuff.
Some horror manga sagas do this brilliantly. 'Junji Ito's 'Uzumaki' is about a town cursed by spiral patterns, but it follows a central couple, Shuichi and Kirie, as they try to survive and hold onto their relationship while everyone around them, including their families, descends into madness. The drama is in their struggle to stay human and connected amidst surreal, body-horror transformations.
Similarly, 'Parasyte' by Hitoshi Iwaaki uses a body-snatching alien invasion to explore a teenage boy's relationship with his mother and his own changing humanity as he coexists with an alien in his hand. The horror is visceral, but the core is the drama of a son trying to protect a mother who becomes suspicious of him, and his own evolving sense of self and family.
The 'Twilight Reign' series by Tom Lloyd starts with a young man, Isak, who is chosen as the heir to a god-like figure. While epic fantasy, Isak and his companions spend a great deal of time investigating ancient prophecies, political murders, and the mysterious history of the gods themselves. The world is filled with haunted ruins and lingering magic.
The scale is enormous, but the process of uncovering the truth feels investigative. Characters piece together fragments of lore, interrogate spies, and explore forbidden places to understand the threat they face. The haunting is the weight of destiny and a world on the brink of apocalypse.
It's a recommendation for those who like their investigations on a world-shaking scale, with military campaigns and divine politics. The lore is deep and the mysteries are satisfyingly complex. It's not a detective story, but the narrative is driven by characters seeking answers to profound questions.
I'm just sitting here nodding along. The publication order crowd has it right. Every argument against chronological is solid. Why fix what isn't broken? The series is a wild success as-is. Millions enjoyed it in the order it came out. Don't reinvent the wheel for your first drive.
Grab book one. Start shooting. Thank us later.
