One of my favorites this year
Quicksilver by Callie Hart, Paperback
One of my good book loving friends has the zodiac Academy as her number one series. I started reading it and instantly was hooked and it is a complete series. It also has spinoff series as a well. Here is book one to get you started.
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening eBook - Kindle
I feel like it’s a right a passage if you want to be into fantasy that you know fourth wing is a series you have to read.
I’m gonna add all three books to my recommendations because I honestly love them.
Fourth Wing (Standard Edition) - Yarros
I absolutely loved Lore Olympus on WEBTOON when I initially found it. I was hooked until the end I have every volume that is released. They stay on my nightstand because they’re visually beautiful and I love the story.
Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe
So good!!
Iron Flame (Standard Edition) - Yarros
The ending of this book is haunting me until we get the next one.
Onyx Storm (Wing and Claw Collection, 3)
This book isn’t even out yet and I am already telling you to read the first one which is also on my recommendation list and then get the second one pre-ordered because it is going to be worth it. I cannot wait.
Brimstone (Fae & Alchemy) eBook by Hart
Dark
Dexter?! Is that you?! ❤️ Instant Love
Butcher & Blackbird (Ruinous Love Trilogy #1)|Paperback
This was such a good read. There were some small things I could pick apart about it, but I won’t. You’ll also see book number two, which is semi standalone. It’s a rare case where I love to book two even more than book one.
Phantasma (Wicked Games, 1) by Kaylie Smith
This series was one of the rare times that I found the second book to be even better than the first. It was so well done. I loved how the story differed from the first one. It wasn’t identical. SO GOOD
Enchantra (Wicked Games, 2): Smith, Kaylie
I have read all of the books out currently in the series. I enjoyed some of them and some of them I did not. Some had themes. I didn’t personally like but you may enjoy. These were fun easy reads. With them all being standalone you can easily put the...
Hooked (Never After Series) eBook by McIntire
Another dark Romance this book was all right. I read it. I enjoyed it. I wouldn’t say you should put it at the top of your TBR, but it deserves a mention.
Den of Vipers - Kindle edition by K.A. Knight
I love a good fairytale turned adult. This is different than your typical retelling and is a series so here’s book one.
The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys Book 1) - Kindle
Honorable Mentions😂
I’m not saying I’d say these…but I’m not saying I wouldn’t 😂😂
How to Piss Off Men: 109 Ego-Shattering Sayings
Young Adult
I absolutely loved this book. It is so well done and I loved getting the backstory of Haymitch. It might wreck you a little, so be prepared.
Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) ...
This is definitely a YA book. But it was so well written I definitely finished the whole trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. It would be a fabulous cleanser if you need a break from super adult romance or dark romance.
The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle, Book 1)
Swoon! It’s categorized as a YA but I honestly think the series needs 18+ or a mature older teen for sure.
Friends, some sports vibes, some messed up families, slow burn. But so well written!!
Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen #1) by Chloe Walsh, Paperback
