Such a nostalgic read for me and I love the concept

Another nostalgic hit - but also I loveeeee the world building!
Vampire Academy (Book 1) - Intl Bestseller
A YA that moves to NA pretty quickly, but it has such interesting character dynamics
Marked by P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast | Waterstones
You all knew it would be on this list. I don’t have to explain myself.
Twilight Saga: 6 Book Set
Magic
Who doesn’t love a magic world set in modern day Ireland?!
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy | Waterstones
An unfinished series and the author has now sadly passed - but the possibility of how it ends haunts me. It’s fantastic.
Night World: Secret Vampire by L.J. Smith | Waterstones
This book series does not get enough appreciation, and the adaption was a little slated. But - Is it entertaining? Yes. Does it make you feel things? Absolutely
The Secret Circle: The Initiation and The Captive Part 1 by L J Smith | Waterstones
World building
I prefer them to Acotar - I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW
Crescent City Series: 3 Book Bundle
A long series but absolutely one of the best I have ever read! I started reading this series when the second book came out and I am so jealous of those who got to binge it all at once and not wait the agonising years between books!
Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas
Victorian era England shadowhunters > Modern day New York shadowhunters and I said what I said
The Infernal Devices 1: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare | Waterstones
I read this in English class when I was 12 years old and I was searching for it for years afterwards. Very very underappreciated!
Darkside by Tom Becker | Waterstones
I know I know - you’ve seen it all over booktok. But it is genuinely a good read that brings forth a lot of emotion and I love the world it’s set in
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros | Waterstones
YA, but what fantastic worldbuilding

No one is shocked about this edition, right?
