- The Triumphant by Lesley Livingston
- The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
Follow along with a group of fierce characters as they embark on an adventure—rooted in complex female relationships—to save a corrupt world.
- A Question of Holmes by Brittany Cavallaro
- American Royals by Katharine McGee
Enjoy a dramatic, romantic, and overall extremely fun twist on a concept you thought you knew!
- Deathcaster by Cinda Williams Chima
- Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron
Say goodbye to one sprawling fantasy epic with the start of another! Both series boasts casts of extremely complex characters and embrace the dangers of dark magic.
- The Everlasting Rose by Dhonielle Clayton
- Girls with Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young
Shatter the complicity of a world that exploits its minority and feel empowered on every level as you transition form the world of Orléans to Innovations Academy.
- The Queen's Resistance by Rebecca Ross
- Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
Discover your destiny and fight for a better future in these lush fantasy worlds.
- An Anatomy of Beasts by Olivia A. Cole
- The Chosen by Taran Matharu
Explore, survive, and save incredibly scenic—and incredibly dangerous—new worlds. Plus, you'll find that not everything is what it seems...
- Finale by Stephanie Garber
- The Beholder by Anna Bright
Prepare to be enchanted by both romance and adventure in both of these series! They sparkle with intrigue, fairy tale twists, and dark family secrets.
- Broken Throne by Victoria Aveyard
- Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
Putting aside the politics, the superpowers (witch magic included), and taste for extreme sarcasm, these two books come alive because of how real their characters feel on every page. We would kill to see Evangeline, Mare, Lou, and Coco team up.
- Tomb of Ancients by Madeleine Roux
- The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman
Things are much more ominous than they seem in both of these creepy thrillers. Terrifying old secrets come to light, and neither Louisa nor Violet knew what they were getting into.
- Return to Zero by Pittacus Lore
- Blood Heir by Amélie Wen Zhao
This final battle in the epic I Am Number Four series focused on the responsibilities of those who found themselves inheriting power they never asked for. Entering the sprawling world of the Cyrilian Empire seems like the natural next step.
- Queen of Ruin by Tracy Banghart
- We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia
Trade a pair of kickass sisters for a couple rivals turned love interests and let's just all agree to fight against patriarchal societies forever, okay?
- Soul of Stars by Ashley Poston
- Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Embark on a brand new journey amongst the stars with snarky crews, deadly adventure, and twists—we guarantee—you'll never see coming.
- Immunity by Erin Bowman
- Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
Leave the fast-paced bloody struggle for survival alive behind and embrace a slow-burning, equally bone-chilling adventure with characters even darker.
- These Divided Shores by Sara Raasch
- The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
You may know the tales these stories are based on—revolutions and round tables and magic and swordplay—but with pirates and false identities, you've never read adventures like this.
- Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake
- There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
As they say, if you think these stories have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention. Or, maybe you just aren't giving these authors enough credit. Both of these stories are dark with intriguing casts of complex characters, and fate, for any of them, cannot be set in stone.
- Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco
- The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
Not ready to leave the deadly times of the past behind? Why not embark on a new adventure—and maybe one with a touch more magic?
- When She Reigns by Jodi Meadows
- The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala
Just like Mira has always struggled to balance her own duties with the responsibilities she owes her world, Esha's reputation precedes her. But there's a larger game at play, and plenty of twists promise that things are not what they seem.
- Rebel by Marie Lu
- Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater
If you returned to the world of Legend for Marie Lu's final tale, we think you'll want to revisit the Raven Cycle's Ronan as well. Be prepared—this Dreamer trilogy promises to be as magical and deceptively deadly as ever.
- Supernova by Marissa Meyer
- Circle of Shadows by Evelyn Skye
The lines between good and evil have never been clear, but both of these adventures tackle what it means to be right in a world of the just, and good in the presence of evil.
- The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
- Crier's War by Nina Varela
These intricately plotted fantasies will blow you away with both their twists and the way they lure into into nemeses-to-lovers romances—even if some of it is a little more murderous than romantic...
- The Toll by Neal Shusterman
- We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal
The Scythe trilogy deals in matters of life and death, concepts of which We Hunt the Flame's main characters are tragically familiar with. These are dark, absorbing reads, and you won't be able to put either down.
- The Sky Weaver by Kristen Ciccarelli
- Stolen Time by Danielle Rollins
Feeling adventurous? You need to embark on both of these adventures, each with a dose of something more. Slip between worlds, escape through time—and save everything before it's lost forever.
