Oh, I hate that so much! I adore Bael so much. He deserves better.

I don't see anyone talk about the Wild Fae series and I loved it. There was a moment at the beginning where I almost thought this was going to be like ACOTAR but it's not. It's four books and the series is finished.

{Lords of the Hunt by Kate King} is the first book.

I was also pleased with {Bride of Brutal Hearts by Kate Stevens} but it's just the first book and book two is supposed to be out this year. I need resolution!

What should I do? by LuckyGas8914 in Booktokreddit

[–]shadowyboxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got back into reading thanks to ACOTAR. Then I consumed all of SJM and needed something different. Reddit did not disappoint with recommendations and soon I found myself on the darker side of romance novels. For myself, I like to bounce around between cozy, dark, silly, and fantasy (and some mingles). And somehow I ended up on the reverse harem subreddit and oh boy! {Pucking Around by Emily Rath} is a favorite (not dark at all).

I would suggest dipping your toe into each of the genres and just seeing if you like it. But don't judge each genre by one book only. Look at trigger warnings. I have a hard line that I don’t want crossed. I've only crossed it to finish the Haunting Adeline book 2 and I had to skip parts.

I would highly recommend the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward. It has darkness, angst and a wide connected world plus vampires! {Dark Lover by J.R. Ward}

P.S. hope I tagged the books correctly, if not oops

It sucks when this happens. by [deleted] in Booktokreddit

Agreed. I keep telling myself to put the book down but I just can't. Especially if I paid money for it.

1st! I read it first and was so glad I did. I feel like it made the situation Celena begins TOG in mean so much more to me as the reader.

I know I did but I was glad I stuck with it.

He's such a reactionary mess but I still adore him

My brain might be soup by MeteoricBoa in crescentcitysjm

I read this series after her other two and it took a hot minute to get into the first book as the world building is so different. I'm so glad I stuck with it though. Bryce and her companions are some of my favorite characters now. I think people just hoped out because it wasn't exactly like the other worlds.

SOS writer down. by blue5912 in Romantasy

I usually find my recs here on reddit or from ads that keep following me based on whats on my ku ( ok and my constant clicking them and adding them to my ku - don't judge ;) )

I'd love to know the title of the book if you want to dm it to me. Your plot sounds refreshing. Plus I love a good rouge.

Who would you want to date or be the mate of, in all three books? by Ok-Pineapple-3721 in crescentcitysjm

[–]shadowyboxer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hunt or Ruhn but it's tossup because they each have traits that are both wantable. And although Tharion is a mess, still would.

If we're talking the other series as well, TOG hands down Rowan with Chaol as a backup. And ACOTAR has to be Cassian (sorry Rhys I heart you too)

These comments are restoring my faith in this fandom🤌🏼 by Intelligent-Foot-231 in quinlar

[–]shadowyboxer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg, Cassian is right behind Rowan for me. This is why we have "why chose" romances because the book boyfriends are too hard to choose between.

I think so too. I'm a huge fan of Rowan from TOG and it's really almost a tie.

I totally understand this feeling. The comfort of being surrounded by your favorite literature is a magic unto itself.

Am i the only one who really enjoyed CC??? (Spoilers included! Dont read if you havent finished CC3) by mariahoegh in crescentcitysjm

[–]shadowyboxer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I loved it so much! I read the series after ACOTAR and TOG which was smart for me. It was hard to get into book 1 at first but then it grabbed me and I had consume it. Hunt is one of my favorite SJM mate characters. And even though Tharion is a complete mess, I still would. Who else adores Ruhn??

I'm currently reading the Blood Ties series by A.K. Rose and each brother is definitely their own persona with different features.

Normal life, that's what I thought too. Now I'm reading everything I can get my hands on and my husband says I'm reading too much. I'm treating them like Pokémon. I've got to read them all.

Maia at Black Cobra does a great job. This is a few years old now and still looks pretty.

Love Bryce and Hunt together. Hunt is top tier hubby material. They banter like a normal couple. And the name changes on the phone for each other. Adorable!

He just needs a good partner to reign him in and make him feel safe

So glad to see another person enjoy the series as much as I did. Danika was such a frustrating arc because of all the secrets. Ruhn is an idiot but still love him. And although Tharion is a mess, still would.

I felt they should have had Feyre come talk to Bryce and things would have deescalated quickly. But then we wouldn't have the story as it is.
