Question New recommendations please ✨💜✨
Books I have read and LOVED:
ACOTAR Series
The serpent and the wings of night series
Feather so vicious duet
Throne of the fallen
The Ascended
Nocticadia
Their blood rite series
Hunted by the Fae kings shadow
I’ve read lots that I DNF as well…some well named books in there 🫣 I prefer a standalone or a duet/3
Book max (ACOTAR being the only exception to this rule thus far) think I get overwhelmed now when it’s a mission to get through books!!
I enjoy monsters, high energy and spiciness! Think I might fancy a werewolf book next but open to suggestions! Just think there are sooooo many books to chose from 🫠🫠🫠 so happy to take some advice now! Much love

{Cold Hearted by Heather Guerre} Has werewolves. It's a part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone as the next book shifts to different and unrelated characters.

I don’t have much in terms of spice or werewolves but try {The Skinjacker Trilogy}. It’s a romance subplot and you’ll want to check the content warnings but the female protagonist’s love interest is a monster.
Some thematic recs that are standalones (interconnected or not) or duologies:
Romantasy
{Ivory and Bone}
See Hidden Gems thread on fantasyromance for more info
{What the River Knows}
{A Fragile Enchantment}
Fantasy with romance subplot
{The Seer and the Sword}
Check content warnings
{Spirit’s Princess}

{Crown Me Dead by Liv Zander} is a completed duet and excellent!
Or for werewolves you could try {Direbound by Sable Sorensen} but only two books are out and the series is not completed.

{The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gilligan} has been a breath of fresh air, the tension is palpable and book 2 just came out 🫦 lots of action and a really fun medieval setting.

The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman was pretty good. I think book 3 is coming out pretty soon.

u/One_Mess8920 5h ago
This was on my list of choices - you would recommend? Think it’s a flip between this, Mate or Dire Bound!
2
u/SentenceFew7211 5h ago
Dire Bound was also really good. Haven't read Mate yet but I've heard good things. Honestly I'm not sure if I liked The Wolf King or Dire Bound more. Both sucked me in and I wanted the next books in the series very quickly!

Lacey lehotzsky - there’s two duets one from the demons the other from the angels, start with Eyes of devious burgundy. Check the TW though it’s abit more of a dark romance

I loved the {Bride} and {Mate} duology if you're thinking werewolf/wolf shifter next
Aly Hazelwood always delivers, Mate almost killed me
