Some books are good enough on their own, but the best series make you want to stay in their world for as long as possible. These are my favorite book series I’ve read so far—from fantasy worlds filled with magic, dragons, fae and Greek mythology to h...
5 books in the original series
Greek mythology, demigods, quests, monsters and one of my favorite fictional worlds ever.
I started reading Percy Jackson when I was 17, and it became one of those series that just stuck with me. I already loved Greek...
Percy Jackson and the Olympians — Rick Riordan
This is easily one of the fantasy series that deserves a spot on my favorites list.
I gave the first three books 5 stars, including A Court of Mist and Fury and A Court of Wings and Ruin. The world gets so much bigger as the series continues, and th...
A Court of Thorns and Roses — Sarah J. Maas
Hockey romance is one of my weaknesses, and Off-Campus is one of the series that really helped establish that.
I gave The Deal, The Mistake and The Score all 5 stars. Each book follows a different couple while keeping the same friend group, which is...
Off-Campus — Elle Kennedy
One of my absolute favorite sports romance series.
I loved Mile High, gave The Right Move 5 stars, and really enjoyed Caught Up too. Every book follows a different couple and a different sports setting while keeping the characters connected.
What m...
Windy City — Liz Tomforde
If I want mafia romance, this is one of the first series I'd recommend.
The Sweetest Oblivion literally helped pull me out of a reading slump, and I gave The Maddest Obsession 5 stars.
I especially love the dangerous, morally grey men, mafia atmosp...
The Made Series — Danielle Lori
Binding 13 completely convinced me that this series belonged on this list.
It's a much slower and more emotional kind of romance than a lot of the books I normally read. The characters are young, but the story deals with much heavier themes than I e...
Boys of Tommen — Chloe Walsh
This series surprised me.
I enjoyed Between Commitment and Betrayal, but Between Love and Loathing was even better and became a 5-star read for me.
These are interconnected billionaire romances with plenty of drama, chemistry and complicated relati...
Hardy Billionaire Brothers — Shain Rose
I enjoyed The Fine Print, but Terms and Conditions was the book that really sold me on this series.
Fake marriage, billionaire brothers, inheritance drama and boss × employee romance? That's basically a collection of romance tropes designed to make ...
Dreamland Billionaires — Lauren Asher
I know Twilight isn't going to be everyone's favorite, but it absolutely belongs on my personal list.
I gave Twilight 5 stars and continued through New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. There is something incredibly nostalgic about this series for me...
Twilight Saga — Stephenie Meyer
One of the series that introduced me to a different side of fantasy romance.
Bonded by Thorns is a Beauty and the Beast-inspired fantasy with reverse harem romance, morally grey characters and multiple princes.
I also continued with Woven by Gold, ...
Beasts of the Briar — Elizabeth Helen
Dragons can be strangely hit-or-miss for me in fantasy books, but this series actually worked.
I loved the first book, Twilight of Embers, enough to continue immediately into Midnight of Ashes.
Fantasy romance involving dragons already has my atten...
Dragons of Ember Hollow — Tessa Hale
This became one of those incredibly easy-to-binge paranormal academy series for me.
I read Year One, Year Two and Year Three almost back-to-back. The first two were both 4-star reads for me.
It's not the kind of fantasy where you're reading hundred...
Fallen Academy — Leia Stone
I ended up reading FOUR books from this series, which says a lot considering how easily I abandon series when they stop keeping my attention.
The series follows a reverse-harem paranormal romance involving shifters, mates and plenty of supernatural ...
Fall Mountain Shifters — G. Bailey
This one is much more fantasy-heavy than ACOTAR.
I gave both Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight 4 stars, and I love the basic concept: an assassin, royal politics, mysterious powers and a much larger destiny slowly revealing itself.
The romance ...
Throne of Glass — Sarah J. Maas
Brutal Prince was a 5-star read for me and one of the mafia romances that stood out because the enemies-to-lovers dynamic actually felt like ENEMIES.
The heroine literally sets his house on fire.
That's the kind of chaotic romance energy I apprecia...
Brutal Birthright — Sophie Lark
Heartless earned a full 5 stars from me, which alone gets Chestnut Springs onto this list.
I also read Flawless, and although I didn't love it quite as much, I really like the interconnected small-town setting and the fact that each book follows ano...
Chestnut Springs — Elsie Silver
The Cruel Prince was a 5-star read for me.
This is much less of a straightforward romance than the title and TikTok edits might make you expect. The political games, fae world and Jude's ambition are a huge part of what makes it interesting.
And Ju...
The Folk of the Air — Holly Black
Greek mythology + romance was obviously going to get my attention.
I gave A Touch of Darkness 5 stars because it combined one of my favorite mythological stories with fantasy romance, enemies-to-lovers energy and plenty of chemistry.
It's a modern ...
Hades & Persephone — Scarlett St. Clair
Dragons, a deadly military academy and romance are a pretty unbeatable combination.
I enjoyed Iron Flame, even though it didn't quite live up to the previous book for me. What keeps me interested is the huge fantasy world, dragon bonds, secrets and ...
The Empyrean — Rebecca Yarros
Juniper Hill completely melted my heart.
I gave it 4.7 stars because it was warm, comforting and romantic without relying on an exhausting amount of unnecessary relationship drama.
The Edens follows different members of the same family, making it p...
The Edens — Devney Perry
The Awakening gave me magical school, fae royalty, zodiac-based magic, paranormal creatures and bully romance all at once.
It's dramatic, chaotic and absolutely not peaceful reading.
And that's exactly the appeal.
Read this if you like: magical ac...
Zodiac Academy — Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
This is such an easy series to binge when you want fantasy-adjacent romance without complicated world-building.
The Selection mixes a royal competition with romance, jealousy and a dystopian-style caste system.
It basically feels like a dating show...
The Selection — Kiera Cass
Witch + witch hunter forced into a marriage.
Honestly, that concept alone is enough to explain why this series made my list.
I gave Serpent & Dove 4 stars and loved the enemies-to-lovers setup and fantasy world.
Read this if you like: witches ...
Serpent & Dove — Shelby Mahurin
One of the more unusual fantasy series I've read.
Angelfall takes place after angels essentially bring about the apocalypse, and the heroine has to work with one of them while trying to save her sister.
It's darker and more dystopian than most of m...
