I love books that distract you from reality and really pull you into the fictional world the characters are in. This list includes my favorite books as an enjoyer of romance/fantasy novels.

This book immersed me in its magical world and had the perfect mix of fantasy and romance. Towards the end of the book, I literally couldn’t put it down
A Court of Thorns and Roses - by Sarah J Maas (Paperback)
So far, this is my favorite of the series because of the growth, the romance, and the emotional depth. I’m obsessed. This one was just as hard to put down as the first one
A Court of Mist and Fury - (Court of Thorns and Roses) by Sarah J Maas
This is the third book in the ACOTAR series and it’s the one I’m currently reading. It’s definitely intense. The battles, twists, romantic, and emotional moments have me hooked so far
A Court of Wings and Ruin - (Court of Thorns and Roses) by Sarah J Maas
Thank God for my high school AP Literature teacher for introducing me to this series. This book immediately pulled me into such a dark, intense world while giving me characters to root for. It had me hooked from the first page.
An Ember in the Ashes (Ember in the Ashes Series #1) by Sabaa Tahir, ...
The second book of the An Ember in the Ashes series. This one had me on edge the whole time. The tension, the danger, and the twists made it impossible to put down. There’s also a good mix of romance
A Torch against the Night (Ember in the Ashes Series #2) by Sabaa Tahir, ...
Romance
I’m only about 90 pages into this book, but so far it is really enjoyable. You would like this if you don’t mind reading books that don’t have a ton of deeper meaning. This book is purely for entertainment purposes
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Paperback)
I love all of Coleen Hoover’s books but I just recently bought this one when I saw the trailer for the movie (coming this October). I finished it in 3 days. This story is heartbreaking but so heartwarming at the same time
Regretting You - by Colleen Hoover (Paperback)
Another Colleen Hoover book I finished in less than a week. This book is another emotional one, but beware it is a little twisted
Ugly Love (Paperback) by Colleen Hoover
This book had me on edge the entire time. It’s different than the other Colleen Hoover books I have read. There were shocking twists and addictive suspense. I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished
Verity - by Colleen Hoover (Paperback)
This was the first Colleen Hoover book I read because it’s also her most popular book (now it’s a movie as a well). The story was romantic but also had an emotional twist. It balances romance with real-life struggles in such a powerful way.
It Ends with Us - by Colleen Hoover (Paperback)
This is the sequel to It Ends With Us. It gave closure and a hopeful, heartwarming continuation of the story from the first book.
