Romantasy
Where magic, danger, and desire collide. Think epic worlds, morally gray love interests, and tension that could set kingdoms on fire.
Fae politics, filthy money, and a romance that keeps you edging the whole way. Total binge-read.
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Filthy Rich Fae (Book 1)
Think John Wick—but make it Fae. There’s blood, vengeance, and a dangerously magnetic romance wrapped in high-stakes power games. It’s sharp, seductive, and impossible to put down.
Fallen Court (Filthy Rich Fae, #2)
Dark, damaged, and ridiculously hot.
Book #1 of series that hooked me instantly.

Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3)
My favorite Sarah J. Maas series 🫶🏼 Enemies to lovers, wings, powers, and all the drama.
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️/5 (spice escalates in later books 👀)
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series
Thriller/ Mystery
Thrillers that will have you side-eyeing everyone you know, double-checking your locks, and still reading way past bedtime because “just one more chapter.”
This book made me question everything — my judgment, my sanity, and definitely Colleen Hoover’s. Dark, twisted, and straight-up unhinged in the best way. You’ll finish it and just sit there like… what did I just read?!
Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️/5
Verity
Creepy kids = instant nightmare fuel.
Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak
My first Freida book and I was hooked! I side-eyed my husband for a week after finishing this.
Never Lie by Freida McFadden
The kind of story that makes you yell at the main character like they can hear you.
The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden
Paranoia, gaslighting, and plot twists that slapped me in the face.
Ward D
Road trip from hell. Literally. Made me reconsider carpooling ever again.
One by One by Freida McFadden
Family secrets, crime, and jaw-dropping twists that punched me in the gut.
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
Dark, addictive, and full of tension. The kind of story that makes you root for the wrong people and love every second of it.
Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1) by Navessa Allen
Young Adult
Coming-of-age chaos, swoony crushes, and the kind of emotional rollercoasters only YA can deliver. For the days when you want adventure with a side of angst.
Drama, betrayal, and vibes straight out of a YA fever dream.
Spicy Rating: 🌶️/5
Lightlark #1
The sequel that cranked up the chaos.
Spice Rating: 🌶️/5
Nightbane (Lightlark, #2)
Alex Aster really said, “keep screaming.”
Skyshade (Lightlark, #3)
Slow-burn tension, stolen moments, and a prince who makes every page ache with longing. Kai Azer will ruin your heart, your sleep schedule, and your standards.
Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy, #1)
If Powerless was the slow burn, Reckless is the spark that ignites everything. Secrets unravel, loyalties twist, and the tension between Paedyn and Kai will leave you sleepless — and maybe a little emotionally unwell.
Reckless (The Powerless Trilogy, #2)
Contemporary Romance
For the hopeless romantics who crave love stories that feel real — full of messy emotions, slow burns, and moments that hit way too close to home.
This was such a fun surprise. Think second-chance romance with witty banter, petty energy, and a dash of “oops, I fell for you again.” The chemistry? Immaculate.
Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Hate Mail
A late-night radio show, a mystery caller, and the slowest burn ever. I was swooning over every interaction.
First-Time Caller
Perfect for when you want a warm, sweet love story without chaos.

Twisted Series by Ana Huang
Old Hollywood glam, forbidden love, and more heartbreak than I was emotionally prepared for. I get the hype — and I’m still recovering.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Sweet, small-town romance with just the right mix of sass and sugar. Cozy, comforting, and gave me all the warm fuzzies.
The Strawberry Patch Pancake House
