The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

Starling House: Dark Gothic Fairytale Book
This book is pure magic, and not just because it's about witches. It’s about the kind of power that comes from women supporting women, fighting for their voices to be heard, and refusing to be silenced. I absolutely loved how it weaves historical fic...
The once and future witches
This book is everything I didn’t know I needed. It’s dark, addictive, and so full of tension that I couldn’t look away. Think dragons, destiny, and a morally grey love interest who will absolutely ruin you (in the best way). The world-building is ric...
When the moon hatched
This book completely took over my life in the best possible way. I picked it up thinking I’d read a few chapters… and didn’t put it down until I finished it at 3am. It’s the perfect mix of enemies-to-lovers, deadly trials, a badass heroine, and DRAGO...
Fourth Wing (International Edition)
This book is unlike anything I’ve read. Alchemised reads like a fairytale written on silk, dreamy, lyrical, and aching with magic. Senlenyu’s writing is soft and sharp all at once, weaving together themes of longing, identity, mythology, and transfor...
Alchemised
This book left me speechless in the best way. Piranesi is one of those rare reads that quietly slips under your skin and lingers long after the last page. It’s strange and beautiful, like stepping into a dream where logic bends and time dissolves. Se...
Piranesi
I devoured this book in a single weekend and immediately wanted more. Spark is the kind of romantasy that hits that perfect balance: a richly imagined magical world, a fierce heroine with secrets of her own, and a slow-burn romance that builds tensio...
Spark of the Everflame (Volume 1)
This book completely swept me away. One Dark Window is one of those rare reads that feels like wandering into a dark fairytale, eerie, atmospheric, and so beautifully written you’ll want to underline every other sentence. The story follows Elspeth, w...
One Dark Window: Gothic Spellbinding Bestseller
This isn’t just a book. It’s an experience. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is one of the most surreal, atmospheric, and genre-defying novels I’ve ever read. Jamie Marina Lau’s writing is like a fever dream: fractured, vivid, and unsettling in th...
Bury our bones in the midnight soil
This book is everything I want in a spicy paranormal romance. It’s fast-paced, fun, and completely unputdownable. Lights Out kicks off the Valkyrie Vow series with a bang (literally and figuratively), delivering tension, banter, and the kind of super... It’s one of those books that feels like a late-night binge you don’t regret. Perfect for fans of Blood & Ash, Crescent City, or anything with bite (pun intended). A must-read if you like your romance dark, dangerous, and deliciously fun. 🖤
Lights Out by Navessa Allen — Steamy Vampy
This is the book that pulled me headfirst into the world of romantasy, and honestly, I owe it everything. It starts off as a Beauty and the Beast-inspired fae tale, but don’t be fooled: by the time you get deeper into the series, it transforms into s...
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
This book took me by surprise in the best way. It’s fast-paced, packed with action, and has just the right amount of slow-burn romantasy to keep me glued. If you're into strong, morally grey characters, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a world that fee...

House of Earth and Blood: Crescent City 1
🌙 Knight of the Moth - A dreamy, spellbinding romantasy I only just finished and I already want to re-read it just to live in the atmosphere again. This book felt like stepping into a velvet-draped daydream. The kind of romantasy that’s soft, slow, ...
The Knight and the Moth: Gothic Romantasy
This book hooked me from the first page. It's like The Hunger Games met Throne of Glass, but make it vampire royalty, high-stakes trials, and one of the most emotionally intense slow burns I’ve ever read. Oraya is that girl, fierce, strategic, and not afraid to fight for her place in a world that never wanted her. And Raihn? Let’s just say the morally grey love interest game has been won. I inhaled this in a single weekend and immediately looked up book two. It’s that ki...
The Serpent and Wings of Night (Crowns 1)
This book had me gasping out loud, texting my friends at midnight, and falling hard for a certain dagger-wielding, charming-as-hell male lead (you know who). It’s the kind of fantasy romance that grabs you and doesn’t let go. Full of courtly secrets, steamy tension, and a slow unravelling of a world that’s way darker and deeper than it first seems. I loved watching Poppy transform , she starts off cloaked in duty and expectation, but every chapter peels another layer back...
From Blood and Ash
I devoured The Crimson Moth and immediately wanted more. It has everything I crave in a romantasy: forbidden love, a masked rebel fighting for justice, and the kind of world-building that feels cinematic. Think Zorro meets Throne of Glass, but with r...
The Crimson Moth
Thriller
I have a weird love for novels that dive into the world of surrogacy. This book is not only a thrilling mystery but it had the best ups and downs. The most elaborate villain and juicy details I just couldn’t get enough of. If you’re looking for a thr...
The Surrogate Mother: Addictive Thriller
I devoured this in one sitting. If you're like me and love a psychological thriller that constantly keeps you second-guessing, The Housemaid is a must-read. Every time I thought I had it figured out, Freida McFadden flipped the story on its head in t...
The Housemaid: Addictive Psychological Thriller
If you’re in the mood for a fast-paced, binge-worthy thriller that messes with your head (in the best way), The Teacher is one of those books you’ll stay up way too late reading. Freida McFadden is the queen of plot twists, and this one delivers. Set...
The Teacher: A Psychological Thriller
I genuinely don’t know how to talk about Verity without sounding unhinged. This book is dark, addictive, and absolutely unputdownable. It’s not your typical Colleen Hoover romance, it’s more like a psychological mind game with a very twisted love tri...
Verity
Romance
Okay… this book is not for the faint of heart, but if you're into dark romance with seriously intense tension and morally grey characters that leave you questioning everything, Haunting Adeline will absolutely consume you. I went in expecting drama a...
Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet Book 1)
This book felt like being dropped into the middle of someone else’s big day, with all the drama, secrets, and laugh-out-loud moments you’d expect. The Wedding People is funny and warm, but it also dives into relationships, vulnerability, and the mess...
The Wedding People: Hilarious Bestseller
I read It Ends With Us long before the movie came out, and honestly, nothing compares to the impact this story had on me when I first turned those pages. It’s powerful, confronting, and beautifully written in a way that stays with you. This isn’t you...
It ends with us
This book absolutely wrecked me. In the best, most heart-shattering way. Me Before You is one of those stories that makes you feel everything. I remember reading it in one sitting, totally absorbed in Lou and Will’s world, and sobbing by the end (lik...
