5⭐
5.5⭐ (I don't know if I will ever fall in love with a book as much as I did Crescent City Book 1)
House of Earth and Blood
5⭐ (Hands down my favorite in the series and genre!)
A Court of Mist and Fury
5⭐ (A YA series that I haven't let go of since childhood. I really love all the symbolism!)
Beautiful Creatures
5⭐ (This and the first book in the Beautiful Creatures series are probably my favorites!)
Beautiful Chaos
5⭐ (Hands down the best in the Empyrean Series so far! The world building is on point!)
Fourth Wing
5⭐ (The mystery that surrounds the reader at the beginning, matched with all the twists and turns, makes this a super compelling read!)
From Blood and Ash
4⭐
4.5⭐ (Hard to beat the pull of the first book, but I feel like this sequel is pretty close!)
Beautiful Darkness
4.5⭐ (A really powerful sequel to the first book in the Blood and Ash series!)
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
4.5⭐ (This book got me back into reading! Not my favorite in the series/genre, but does a great job with world building and romance!)
A Court of Thorns and Roses
4.5⭐ (I actually prefer Book 3 over Book 2 in this series. There's so much action that happens cover to cover in this one!)
House of Flame and Shadow
4.5⭐ (Haven't finished this one yet! But so far, I am loving the intrigue and light-hearted fantasy! Makes for an easy and enjoyable read!)
Once Upon a Broken Heart
4⭐ (It took me a moment to warm up to Nesta, but once the book picked up, I was hooked and loved her journey!)
A Court of Silver Flames
4⭐ (Hard to beat the first book in this series, but I like where Yarros goes with the plot in this sequel!)
Iron Flame
4⭐ (Definitely not as good as book 1 - but still a great fantasy read! Of course, I am a little biased of this series!)
House of Sky and Breath
3⭐
3.5⭐ (Probably my least favorite in the series - but it is SO worth the read if you're going through the series!)
A Court of Wings and Ruin
3.5⭐ (My least favorite in the series, but a must-read if you're going through the series!)
Beautiful Redemption
3.5⭐ (I wanted to love this one so bad, but had a hard time finishing it. The pacing wasn't my favorite, but it still had everything I loved about this series!)
Onyx Storm
3⭐ (The first two books were SO strong, but the third left me wanting more. Still worthy of a read if you're binging the series!)
The Crown of Gilded Bones
3.75⭐ (I really liked this for what it was! I enjoyed reading it, but it didn't get me hooked like others.)
The Serpent and the Wings of Night
3.5⭐ (I felt a little disappointed in the pace and plot in this first book of the series, BUT it pulled me in enough to want more answers. Currently my binge series!)
Zodiac Academy 1
2⭐
2.5⭐ (Didn't hold my attention the first few books did and I stopped carring about the characters. Hoping to pick it back up with the release of the new book in the series!)
The War of Two Queens
2⭐ (I wanted to love this series but Book 2 just left me with more questions and confusion. This might be the only series I would say “You Only Need to Read Book One…”)
The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King

Hoopla
I listen to SO many audiobooks that this one gets a little $, but the app intergrations make it worth it!

The best place to find free (maybe not the best 😅) audiobooks!
