items I know, I know - shocking that there are fantasy books not written by Sarah J. Maas! But trust me, these authors also know how to craft addictive worlds, swoon-worthy romance, and characters that will consume your thoughts. From dragon riders to dark...

Epic fantasy romance with dragons, slow burn enemies-to-lovers, and magic systems that will make you question everything.
BOOK 1: Enemies-to-lovers slow burn with dragons? Yes please! The first half is definitely slow but once it picks up, it PICKS UP. The magic system is cool and the heroine actually has a backbone (refreshing). Perfect if you want fantasy romance that...
Spark of the Everflame (The Kindred's Curse Saga #1) by Penn Cole
BOOK 2: War is coming and Diem has to make a deal with the people she hates most - House Corbois. This book definitely ups the stakes from the first one! The political intrigue gets way more complex and the romantic tension is intense. It's a compell...
Glow of the Everflame (The Kindred's Curse Saga #2) by Penn Cole
BOOK 3: Oh. My. God. This book DESTROYED me emotionally. It's darker, spicier, and more violent than the first two books, and that cliffhanger is absolutely brutal. It was an emotional rollercoaster that broke me into pieces and shattered my heart, b...
Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole
BOOK 4: CANT THIS BE RELEASED ANY FASTER?!? I’m dying. I’ve been on the edge of my seat for months waiting for this book. Another year 🥲
Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole
BOOK 1: The magic system in this is WILD - power literally flows up through social classes. Vis is hiding his identity while trying to climb the ranks and get revenge. It's like if ancient Rome had magic and social commentary. The academy setting giv...
The Will of the Many (Hierarchy # 1) by James Islington
BOOk 2: I can’t wait for this one!! It releases in November. I planned on re-reading The Will of the Many, but it's a BIG book! I think some things that’s confused me in the first book need to be explained before I move into this one. Do we think it’...
The Strength of the Few a book by James Islington
BOOK 1: Even the parapet won't hold you back from scailing this book series. I think anyone who loves an interesting read with some dragons and love, this is the book for you!
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
BOOK 2: After that BRUTAL cliffhanger in Fourth Wing, I needed this book immediately and it did NOT disappoint. Violet is back at war college dealing with the aftermath of everything she learned, and the stakes are so much higher. The world-building ...
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
BOOK 3: This book delivers on the massive expectations while raising the stakes for the final two books in the series. Violet and Xaden are still deeply in love but losing the war, and the emotional intensity is off the charts. It's a thrilling and e...
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
Young Adult Series
Immersive dragon fantasy with star-crossed lovers, complex world-building, and romance that spans multiple lifetimes.
This is a fast-paced fantasy romance with witty banter, strong sassy protagonists, and an immersive world full of mysterious creatures and unique magic. At 700 pages, it's chunky but totally worth it - I was completely absorbed in the world of moonpl...
When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
The highly anticipated sequel to When the Moon Hatched! While I haven't gotten my hands on this one yet (it's still upcoming), everything I've heard suggests it continues the epic fantasy saga with rich world-building and complex characters. If it's ...
The Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A Parker
BOOK 1: Alex Stern is probably one of the most realistic protagonists I've ever read - flawed, sarcastic, and dealing with real trauma. Dark academia but make it actually dark and scary. The ghost stuff genuinely creeped me out and the critique of Ya...
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
BOOk 2: haven’t read yet because the first book was a good stand alone. Need to read still. I just assume it’s going to be as mysterious and almost Nancy Drew vibes in this second book.
Hell Bent #2 by Leigh Bardugo
Dark fantasy romance that's absolutely brutal and I'm obsessed. Enemies-to-lovers with a morally gray love interest who will ruin you for other book boyfriends. Fair warning: heavy themes and serious trauma, but the romantic tension is off the charts...
Quicksilver by Callie Hart
The sequel to Quicksilver continues with higher stakes and deadly consequences. Saeris doesn't want power but gets crowned anyway, and now she and Fisher have to navigate new dangers in the Silver City. The darkness falling across Yvelia puts everyon...
Brimstone
One-offs
Because apparently I have zero self-control when it comes to adding books to my TBR pile.
Think "A Discovery of Witches meets The Craft" - urban fantasy about a secret British government department of witches. I read 80% in one sitting! Four childhood friends get scattered after a civil war, and watching their relationships evolve is hear...
Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
This book has actually been one of my favorites since childhood. As a middle child, I feel the slight pain that Ender does being the youngest. Reading this story made me want to continue to just be me and I could change the world.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Tangerine is an oldie but a goodie. Another book from my childhood. I can smell the tangerine trees whenever I think about this book. It’s a quick read! I recommend for a YA
Tangerine by Edward Bloor
This dystopian thriller is BRUTAL and I mean that in the best way. It's a speculative thriller in the vein of The Handmaid's Tale about girls banished to survive a year in the wilderness because society believes they have dangerous magic that needs t...
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
As a huge Hunger Games fan, I was nervous about this prequel. But Collins delivered! Getting Haymitch's backstory was brutal and heartbreaking in all the right ways. It adds so much depth to his character from the original series and the 50th Games w...
