Ok, so for my WIP, I'm sort of curious as to what it's genre should be described as. To me, its a Paranormal Erotica, but it is also very much a Romance... its about demons and angels, from other descriptions it could be considered an Urban Fantasy.

the synopsis is here http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127792 in case you want to read it to help gauge its genre.

Is there a category for Paranormal Urban Fantasy Erotic Romance????

Yes. I think it's "paranormal romance" :D

Seriously, as far as I can tell that's a genre that tips over into erotica fairly often. And I guess it's called "Urban fantasy" these days, which I dislike. The name drowns out the "original" urban fantasy, to my distress, the fantasy set in cities that is sans vampires & werewolves, which comes from a different literary tradition that happens to match my tastes.
