I have a WIP that needs a genre label, and I am being told by two different people, two different things. I don't know what to think now.

The story is a romance at its heart, and the characters work in the paranormal field. They are ghost hunters. I was told it is a romance, and it is a paranormal-romance. I'm thinking it is not a paranormal-romance because the characters are not getting involved with ghosts or angels or anything. They are just paranormal investigators.

ANY help, lol, would be appreciated on what this should be classed as please and thank you so very much. :)

I'd go with romance, personally. :)

I should add that I don't really know anything, lol! But if I were looking to read a paranormal romance, I would expect the 'paranormal' to be an integral part of the relationship...not so much part of their job descriptions, if that makes sense. :)

If there's no actual paranormal activity I'd say romance.
