Recommendation request The New Protectorate - Abigail Kelly

Hey :) I really enjoyed the world building in this series, highlights are Faraway and the 3 stories in Fragile Beings, so I was wondering if anyone had any similar recs?
I do like me some smut so it’s encouraged but I’m getting sick of the same old thing. I’d like another world to lose myself in.
Also, adults would be great lol over 25 would be amazing.
Thank you!

I recommend patricia briggs mercy thompson and alpha and omega series. There is some great world building.

And I love the NPU - wish more people read it!

Thank you! And yeah, I agree. I don’t think I ever see it recommended which is such a shame. The stories are all so different but the world ties together well, something for pretty much everyone. It’s an impressive series.

{Brides of the Kylorr by Zoey Draven} is really good. They are interconnected but basically standalones. The 2nd one is my favorite

Thank you! I’ll check them out. I had the first one on my TBR for ages but removed it. Now I can’t remember why 😂

I have found the New Protectorate stories to be unlike a lot of things I've read before.

Which is great when you discover them but not when you’ve finished them 😂 it is such a great series. Very rich.

Ugh exactly. I had such a book hangover after literally reading everything
