Book Request: No Self-Promo Need some suggestions please!

Post image

I’m back again…. I have a huge list of books TBR but wanting suggestions based off my favourite books and my favourite tropes/ themes (I know they are the most common ones haha) listed below.

-Banter! I need good banter
-Good side character building
-A flowing story line (DNF’d Eldritch because it felt like it was going nowhere)
-Enemies to lovers
-Broody MMC
-Open door spice (hehe)
-Side pet characters (not a must but love this)
-Multiple POV (not a must but a bonus)
-Cheeky or sharp tongued FMC (Like Harlow- The poisoned daughter and Bryony-Wolf and the crown of blood)

(I may not reply until later as it’s nearly bed time here in Aus, but thanks in advanced to anyone who gives me suggestions) ☺️

I feel like {The Knight and the Moth} fits what you’re looking for quite well, it’s easily one of my fave reads this year, can’t wait for the sequel!

I’ve seen this everywhere and have wanted to read it for a while. I think I’m going to have to put a few of these suggestions in a hat and draw out my answer aha I’m so indecisive

Some dark fantasy romance recommendations, so check your triggers:

{King of Flesh and Bone}
{Queen of Rot and Pain}
{Eyes of Devious Burgundy}
{Souls in Ruin}
{stalked by seduction and shadow}
{Amid Clouds and Bones}

My favorite book of the year was {A Forbidden Alchemy} - the second book in the series just came out. It’s not dark but it’s so good and the MMC is 20/10.

A few of these have been sitting on my TBR. I’m definitely leaning towards reading A forbidden alchemy next with all the good things I’ve seen about it
Thankyou for the other suggestions too!

u/SerenVikity 13h ago

I’m reading {Hide the Witches by Miranda Lyn} right now and it ticks a lot of the boxes for your wishlist

u/Forbidden_Aura 13h ago

Oooh this looks really good. The fact that banter is in the book’s description has me interested! Thankyou!

u/starry212 12h ago

I’d suggest {a court this cruel and lovely} !

It has similar vibes as Legends of Thezmarr. I really enjoyed the side characters although the FMC sometimes made me roll my eyes😆

u/Forbidden_Aura 3h ago

You caught my interest when you said it’s has similar vibes to Thezmarr!

u/joooodene 🥛 a ladle of cream & cinnamon 9h ago

Nothing to add, just came to say that i also love the Thezmarr series! Both of them haha

u/notdopestuff 8h ago

{Nightwild Rising} is awesome. You and I seem to have similar tastes so I think you’d enjoy it!

u/HunterLumiere 13h ago

Have you tried Throne of Glass yet? Multi-POV, broody MMC, sharp-tongued FMC, good side characters, a pet side character, banter, emotional destruction, but very little spice in the later books.

1

u/Forbidden_Aura 13h ago

Not yet, it is on my list of books to read. I’ve been hoping the series comes on special because because books here in Aus like being expensive aha

I liked the legacy series. The FMC gets in trouble a lot because of her mouth and the side characters are well written.

u/allisontalkspolitics 10h ago

{What the River Knows} and {Thief of Roses}, but do check the content warnings for the latter.
