I ask the concept in a nutshell:
The term "bit-bed" deserves an explanation: "bit" is the past tense of "bite" bite English (vampires, werewolves ...). This term also refers to another literary genre: the "chick-lit", literally "Literature for girls'
The Bit-Lit class in the Urban Fantasy.
style for girls? Not really, girls are not the only ones to read such novels nearby boys also find their account in the adventures of the heroines. You will also see that the style does not arise only from books but also in TV series. The public is one that many of the other gender. The main characters are girls who fight supernatural creatures of all kinds: Vampires and Werewolves example. Not only do they fight but they also have a next life and topics concerns that go with it: work, love, studies ... Worries and joys of daily hunts between 2 and 2 conflicts, allowing the audience to find themselves a little like home. The magic rubs their existence in multiple forms (demons, fairies, goblins, witches, monsters ...). The romance has a significant part in the story where the girls side.

And do not forget the great Buffy Summers who is the heroine-in-chief of the genre. Although Anita has the charm of the vampire slayer. Finally there is another debate;) Buffy served as precursor teenager looking for love, a job, find its place we all grew up a bit through his adventures. It was found that eliminating an enemy that was easier to recover from a break.
Bit The bed is everywhere, it sweeps like a hurricane. Many stop to the heroes of Twilight: Bella and Edward, do not trust, dare to go beyond the adventures of these two young people to discover real gems.
