  1. 1

    A Court of Thorns and Roses

    by Sarah J. Maas

    If you love the forbidden protector dynamic and fae world-building, ACOTAR is essential.

  2. 2

    Fourth Wing

    by Rebecca Yarros

    The same heat level and enemies-to-lovers slow burn in a dragon rider military academy.

  3. 3

    Throne of Glass

    by Sarah J. Maas

    More action, equally forbidden, with a heroine who matches Poppy's stubbornness.

  4. 4

    A Touch of Darkness

    by Scarlett St. Clair

    Persephone and Hades — Greek mythology with the same dark romantic pull as Hawke and Poppy.

  5. 5

    Kingdom of the Wicked

    by Kerri Maniscalco

    Sicily, demons, and a deal with the devil. Darker and messier in the best way.

    Bride

    by Ali Hazelwood

    Ali Hazelwood does for paranormal romance what Armentrout does for fantasy romance — compulsively readable.
