items As an avid book lover I am super excited to create a list of all of my favorite reads in 2025 so far! I will continue to build on this list throughout the year so don’t forget to check back for more recommendations, and let me know which books YOU ar...
A morally gray, smart mouth, bad-a$$ FMC and a man who would literally destroy worlds for her. The world building in this book is incredible and the plot continues to thicken. The ending of this book tore my heart to shreds and I have yet to pick up ...
The Book of Azrael (Gods & Monsters #1)
Demons, devils, ghosts and more await as our FMC enters these deadly trials. A handsome, cunning phantom helps guide her through and let’s just say things get… complicated 😉🔥. Truly though, my heart was pounding, and the PLOT TWIST made me scream. ...
Phantasma (Wicked Games, #1) by Kaylie Smith
This is NOT a fantasy. This is a dark contemporary romance with Peter Pan Easter eggs. Seriously, such a fun read. I am still so tempted to watch Peter Pan/ Hook again, and then re-read this book because I’m sure there were Easter eggs that I missed....
Hooked: Dark Contemporary Romance (Never After)
Think Divergent, but with dragons. This series has destroyed me and put me back together again over and over. I have such a hard time moving on from this series and I think about it every single day. There’s romance, there’s dragons, there’s violence...
The Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros - Goodreads
Kingfisher, the man you are…
I don’t think any MMC can live up to this man. Truly is such an a$$hole but when you learn about what this man has had to endure, I would be one too.
Incredible story telling, heart wrenching romance, and a world that ...
QUICKSILVER - Callie Hart
I am currently on Heir of Fire, so I’m not even halfway through the series. But I am EATING this series up!
There are debates over whether you should read Assassins Blade first (which would make sense chronologically), or if you should read it 3rd ...
Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas
Let me just say, the PLOT was TWISTING in this book! So insanely good, this book had be hooked and I finished it in only a few sittings. This book is also being made into a movie, and the casting is jaw dropping good. Such a good read!
The Housemaid: Addictive Psychological Thriller
Now I didn’t read this in 2025, but I can without a doubt say this is my soul series. The series that got me out of a 10 year reading slump. The series I think about every day and the series I compare every other book too. I am everything and I am no...
A Court of Thorns and Roses (Book 1)
2
This series gets a lot of hate, but I loved it. Twisted games was by far my favorite. It’s spicy, it’s real, it’ll make your mind go crazy. There’s drama, there’s plot twists, and I just am here for it
Twisted Series by Ana Huang
Did I like it? Yes. Can I see why other people don’t? Absolutely. Do I feel conflicted about WHY I like this? For sure. I can’t even go into detail. If you know, you know. If you don’t, this is an experience you have to take for yourself. But read it...
Credence by Penelope Douglas

This is not a book you go into for the plot, let’s just clear that up 😂 but if you’re looking for a read that’ll make you go 👀🔥🥵💦🤤🍆 then this is the one for you
Priest Series by Sierra Simone
It’s Penelope Douglas so spice is guaranteed. This book is hot, and even though it makes you question your morals, it’s fantastic
Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas
I’m usually not a huge YA fan, but this surpassed my expectations. Have you ever heard ‘Work Song’ by Hozier? Well this book embodies that song. I haven’t read the 2nd book yet but I will get around to it. I’m just not ready for this to end yet
Divine Rivals (Letters of Enchantment #1)
Again, I didn’t read this in 2025. In fact, I read this over 10 years ago. But the fact that I still think about this series to this day is a testament to how this series will affect you. I’m planning a re-read soon!
Vampire Academy Series by Kristin Cast
