Romance Fantasy 🐉
Dragons. A training academy. And a shadow daddy. Absolutely one of my favorite fantasy series I’ve read in a while. Warning: our FMC is strong hearted and stubborn, you might grow to hate her like I did but you just can’t let the story go!
Fourth Wing - by Rebecca Yarros (Paperback)
Warning: the whole book has a 🫦 scene in almost every chapter. Our FMC is one of 13(?) candidates trying to win the princes hand in marriage but first they have to train with a bunch of snake daddy’s to ensure they can seduce the prince. Loved it, a...
Kiss of the Basilisk (Deluxe Edition) - (Split or Swallow) by Lindsay Straube (Paperback)
First line of the book already draws you in. She’s witty and her personality is strong. This is a 4 part series but I think absolutely worth it!
Trial of the Sun Queen - by Nisha Tuli
First book in a duology about a witch vigilante who saves other witches from their oppressors but she falls for the one guy she absolutely shouldn’t. Slow start but it got really good and now I’m onto book #2!
Heartless Hunter - (Crimson Moth) by Kristen Ciccarelli (Hardcover)
If you’re obsessed with Greek mythology like I am, this is a twist on the legend of Hercules with bits and pieces of a futuristic dystopian world. We have our FMC who’s had a tough life only to find out she has the blood of gods running through her b...
Blood of Hercules - by Jasmine Mas (Paperback)
Second book to the Empyrean Series, the adventure continues and I think this was where I genuinely found the FMC so irritating and stubborn but the build up for the other characters made me keep going. Unfortunately, once I start a series I have to k...
Iron Flame (Wing and Claw Collection) - by Rebecca Yarros (Hardcover)
Dark Romance 😈❤️
The first book in a three part series about serial killers finding love ❤️. I know but trust me, this had the perfect blend of comedy and slow burn romance that was so enjoyable and you couldn’t help but fall in love with both MCs!
Butcher & Blackbird - by Brynne Weaver (Paperback)
Sci-Fi/Dystopian
Second book I’ve finished in 2026 and I was so pleasantly surprised. Amy Ressa’s writing just naturally draws you in and helps you fall in love with each of the characters. I genuinely can’t wait to read book 2. If you love a sailor moon inspired boo...
