A Fate Inked in Blood: Saga of the Unfated Book 1
Penn Coles world building is perfection in this series. * This might be one of the slowest slow burns ever so if smut is the goal skip but if you love amazing world building with plot coming first this is it!
Spark of the Everflame: Kindred's Curse 1
Book #2 in the Kindred Curse
Glow of the Everflame: Kindred's Curse 2
The 3rd book in the Kindred Curse series. One more is yet to be release and like the prior 2 this ends on a little bit of a cliff hanger
Glow of the Everflame
If you somehow have not picked this up yet just do it! Plus if you have kindle unlimited its currently free on there at the time I am making this list.
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean Book 1)
Book number 2 - I like this even more than the first.
Iron Flame (The Empyrean Book 2)
The latest release in this series. Hurry up go read it and then message me on my bookstagram LindaLeighReads so we can discuss theories :)
Onyx Storm (Deluxe Limited Edition)
This one left me sad every time I had to pause and put it down. I fell quick and fast into the world created and I NEED the next book now.
A Tribute of Fire (The Eye of the Goddess Book 1)
It took me a little to get hooked but I am so intrigued by this world/story. It ends on a cliff hanger and I am not so patiently waiting for the next.
Anathema (The Eating Woods)
In the running for my favorite book boyfriend! Impatiently waiting for the second book. Also in the camp of I dont like this cover but dont let it deter you!
Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy Book 1)
Okay first- its a standalone! Which I feel is so rare. I loved the concept that witches control the climate.
The Nature of Witches
Do you love Aladin? Then this story might be extra appealing to you. I thought this was a fun magical world. The characters are not super complex which could be good for a begginer adult fantasy read or someone like me who is hoping for just a little...
The Stardust Thief (The Sandsea Trilogy, 1)
A standalone. Read if you like norse mythology especially if you are a marvel Loki fan.
The Witch's Heart
This is my favorite triology! If you need spicy and smut this isnt the series for you as its low on the spice. but I think this story is so underated. I know no one who has read it and although its been a few years for me Id love to chat about it with someone!
Winternight Trilogy 3 Books Set by K. Arden
Book 1 of currently 3 I love her writting and found it easy to devour.
Belladonna (Belladonna, 1)
Short Stories
I don't read too many short stories and I find few of them I would recommend. Yet there are exceptions and I have found a few I loved.
I feel like this could easily have been flushed out into a full novel. It left me going oh I want more but in a good way that I dont usually have with short stories.
The Conjurer's Wife: A Short Story
Romance
Sometimes I just like to read straight up Romance and let's be real I basically mean smut. If you dont like smut- do skip all of this sections recommendations.
Sometimes you just need to cozy up to predictable small town romance feels.
Totally Folked: Small Town Romantic Comedy
The title basically says it all. Predictable easy to read romance
My Roommate Is a Vampire
I dont normally care for books about books but Emily Henry lands this one for me. Left me wishing this small town was real. Predictable small town romance winner.
Book Lovers
Thrillers
A thriller that I dont guess the full ending to is always a winner in my books. This one kept me guessing and although I predicted some things I didn't get them all and I just love Freida McFaddens writing.
The Boyfriend: A Psychological Thriller
It was a cant put this down read and a full 5 stars for me. Its being made into a movie currently so read it before!
The Housemaid
I feel this has become a book you either love or hate and for me it was a love. It kept me guessing which is a must for me in a thriller.
Verity
Fiction
I love a dual time line or story within a story and this delivers. I have a few minor little issues with it but would still recommend it
The Letters We Keep: A Novel
Another one of those books I feel has become a love or hate. Its a love for me. I found myself impatiently waiting to get back to Evelyn's story.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
