Think dragons, fae, forbidden love, and fantasy worlds you’ll never want to leave. These books have it all. If you loved ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, or even had a Twilight phase (no shame, I’m right there with you), this is your section. Prepare to obsess.
Sarah J Mass never misses! I was hooked and could not put this book down. The characters had such depth, and the emotional rollercoaster kept me turning pages late into the night.
A Court of Mist and Fury (#2): Sarah J. Maas
This book really suprised me. It took a while for me to get into but then quickly became one of my favorites in the series. The POV from Nesta was so interesting.
A Court of Silver Flames
The book that got me into reading fantasy! The tension, the dragons, the slow-burn romance- so good!
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1) by Rebecca Yarros
A classic! One of my favorite comfort movie and now one of my favorite comfort books! Its dramatic and cheesy in the best way.
Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1): Meyer, Stephenie
Another 5 star reads from this series! This one had a lot more politics and war involved versus the romance but still such a great read!
A Court of Wings and Ruin(3): Sarah J Maas
This is a 4 star for me. While this is an amazing book, the other book in the series just shine. This was the perfect world building book.
A Court of Thorns and Roses (1): Sarah J Maas

Verity: Colleen Hoover

The Housemaid #1 - Freida McFadden
Twisty and full of Freida’s signature jaw-dropping reveals that always has me on the edge of my seat. 4 stars.
The Inmate: Frieda McFadden

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
Definitely spicy! Good quick romance book. Captures heartbreak, healing, and the raw messiness of love so well.
Ugly Love: Colleen Hoover
This viral book exceeded my expectations. The characters in this book were perfect!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
Loved the Peter Pan inspired concept dark romance twist. It is a spicy intense book! 4 ⭐️
Hooked (Never After, #1) by Emily McIntire
I know this was a controversial movie/book, but this was the first book I read getting into reading. Its about finding the strength to make the right choice in a hard decision.
