    I don't know if it counts as paranormal. The first book has a ghost, a shadow ghost, pretty supernatural, right? The second book is amazing, and the fourth book is by the same author. I highly recommend it; it has a slightly supernatural element, and the main theme is probably heroism? Anyway, it's fantastic, and the author doesn't waste any words. The third book, "Ghost Messenger," which means he delivers mail from the ghost realm, was also quite good, but it was a bit long, and I couldn't finish it. 😂 The fourth book is basically the same as the second, and it's also super good. Don't be fooled by the title; the main character is great and not mentally ill. The protagonist of the fifth book is truly mentally ill; wherever the ruthless bandits go, nothing survives. If you have a very strong sense of justice, I wouldn't recommend reading this one. Read the 24th book in conjunction with it; it's incredibly righteous, and I cried several times while reading it.
