Without giving too much of this masterpiece away, here are some of my favorite aspects of this book and why I just keep coming back to it. Yes, I’m still obsessed with Bride by Ali Hazelwood. Here’s why:

  • Enemies-to-Lovers
  • Vampire x Werewolf
  • Marriage of Convenience
  • Fated Mates
  • Political Intrigue
  • Forced Proximity

Let’s talk about the Cruel Prince by Holly Black!

This is one of my top favorite reads of all time and I can’t recommend it enough. While I’d love to wax poetic, I don’t want to give too much away, so here’s why I still have so much love for The Cruel Prince:

  • Enemies-to-Lovers
  • Court Politics
  • Strong, fierce FMC
  • Morally grey MMC
  • Secret yearning
  • Human among fairies
  • Cruel tricks & betrayal
  • Undeniable chemistry

Let’s talk about Belladonna by Adalyn Grace!

Now, I wasn’t sure what to expect jumping into a mystery slash gothic romance, but it was everything I wanted. A haunted home, a found family, an immortal lover… and nothing is as it seems. Here’s why I love Belladonna:

  • Enemies-to-Lovers
  • Murder mystery
  • Haunting, gothic romance
  • Immortal love interest
  • A girl who cannot die
  • Death incarnate
  • Found family
  • A haunted estate, plus ghosts

Let’s talk about Once Charmed, Twice Cursed by Shaylin Gandhi!

This one really surprised me! Blessings and curses are real– and this is one arranged marriage you’ll root for the FMC to escape. What happens when yearning makes the MMC take on a secret identity? Here’s why I love Once Charmed, Twice Cursed:

  • Blessed with magic luck
  • Secret identity
  • Cursed love interest
  • Escaping an arranged marriage
  • Forced proximity
  • Secret yearning
  • Brother’s best friend
  • Kidnapper who means well

Let’s talk about From Blood & Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout!

This kingdom is riddled with lies, intrigue, and paranormal beings. Oh, and a royal guard who just can’t help but tease and fluster a certain chosen one. Here’s why I love From Blood & Ash:

  • Chosen one x royal guard
  • Hidden identity
  • Morally grey MMC
  • Slow burn, forbidden romance
  • Plot-heavy with ancient prophecies
  • Betrayal & Deception
  • Nothing is as it seems
  • Intense, steamy chemistry

Let’s talk about A Court of Mist & Fury by Sarah J. Maas!

This one is a sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses! But it’s the real payoff to reading that first installment (which feels more like plot-heavy lead-in to this one). Here’s why I love A Court of Mist & Fury:

  • Healing from trauma
  • Found family
  • Fated Mates
  • Enemies to lovers becomes friends to lovers
  • Forced proximity
  • MMC ALWAYS gives her a choice
  • Morally grey MMC doesn’t feel worthy of her
  • FMC finds herself
