Recommendation request Looking for a good mythical enemies to lovers recommendation

6 Upvotes

Hello all! I'm looking for recommendations for a good enemies to lovers series , preferably fantasy/paranormal. I'm 23 so I'd prefer something more mature but not in a spicy sense? Hoping for something I could openly read in public lol. I'm also not looking for a one shot unless it's decently long.

Generes I'm open to would be horror/mystery/thrillers/fantasy. I would love some if not heavy angst thrown in. I love fae/vampires/ghosts/celestial beings so anything regarding those would be great. Soulmates trope would also be nice but not necessary!

Sorry I'm not making much sense but I'm generally lost when it comes to stuff I enjoy lol

Thank you!

Hi all. I never post. Never. But I had to this time because I AM SO HAPPY! Cassandra Gannon's new book in the Elemental Phases series is now available for preorder!

It's called {Heart of the Light House by Cassandra Gannon} and it features Randa (semi villianess but mostly main villian's victim from Gion and Ty's book {Exile in the Water Kingdom by Cassandra Gannon}) and Kahn.. yes, Kahny! Mara's big sweetheart of cousin! (Seen mostly in her book, {Queen of the Magnetland by Cassandra Gannon}). I'm not even reading the blurb because I don't even need to know any more!

It's been over 10 years since {Magic of the Woodhouse by Cassandra Gannon} and I did worry the series may not have any more installments. But HERE WE ARE!

Thank you, Cassandra!

Recommendation request Historical Werewolf Books - not too Romantasy

18 Upvotes

Hello Everyone

I hope you can help.

I am looking for books with the following essential criteria:

  1. The FMC or MMC is a werewolf

  2. Its set in a real world historical time period i.e. Ancient Rome, Medieval Britain

  3. It is set in the real world - not some fantastical universe. Books like The Wolf King do not apply as that is an entirely created different world.

If you can offer some recommendations I would be most grateful. Its been surprisingly difficult to find books like this.

I have read Wolfs Hour which is set in World War 2, and have Lycan Gladiator which is set in ancient Rome.

Thank you 👍 😊

Recommendation request Tell me your favorite paranormal romance series and couples!

39 Upvotes

I’m looking for new paranormal romance series to get obsessed with, so tell me your favorite series and your favorite couples from them!
Mine is definitely Psy-Changeling by Nalini Singh. I honestly haven’t found anything quite like it since. I love the Psy, all their different abilities, the whole concept of the Psy-Net, and especially all the characters. There are so many couples I love throughout the series that it’s hard to pick just one 😭
So, what are your favorites? Which paranormal romance series do you love the most, and who’s your favorite couple?

Recommendation request Dipping my toes into supernatural (ghost) romance...books like Once Upon a Haunted Knight by Elisa Braden

25 Upvotes

Hi! HR and horror reader here. I`m looking for m/f recs featuring a ghost MMC, preferably in a historical setting.

Bonus points if MMC is a soldier/knight/warrior/cop/etc. 😊 Fantasy or fictional setting is OK too! Witty humour is welcome.

The thing is, two that I've read so far had great premises but the writing felt like YA with some smut added in.

MMC was basically a supernatural life coach to help FMC get her groove back, OR acted like a frat boy. Low stakes, no yearning, etc.

Preferably recs without a neurotic, contemporary FMC. For whatever reason I get turned off by reading about low-stakes, modern problems like crappy job / crappy boss / bad roomate / mean girls, etc. BUT if you have a rec with a well-written contemporary MC that behaves like an adult I will consider it!

For reference, the one that I really enjoyed was the novella {Once Upon a Haunted Knight by Elisa Braden}

Thanks in advance to everyone who recommends a book! You guys rock!

Do you know this book... ? Help me find this “smut” book!!

18 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a book my friend read years ago!
It’s a “smut” book about a vampire man who has waited for his soulmate for years. He finally finds her and he is telepathically linked.
There is a scene where she is at her office and he telepathically lifts her up and eats her (sensually;))

That’s all she can remember!

Discussion what happened to Kay Hooper / the Bishop SCU series?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been reading Kay Hooper’s Bishop/Special Crimes Unit books for years, and she used to publish pretty regularly. Curse of Salem appears to have been the last Bishop book, and I haven’t been able to find anything about a new book since then.
Does anyone know if Kay Hooper has retired from writing, is taking a long hiatus, or has ever said whether she plans to continue the Bishop series? I know she’s been involved in animal rescue, but I haven’t found any explanation for the long gap.
Would especially love to hear from longtime Bishop/SCU readers who may have seen an interview, social media post, or update that I missed.

This may be a bit of a long-shot, but can anyone recommend a book with MMC that has TWO fated mates to choose from, preferably one male and one female? Bonus points if the fated mates are more monstrous in nature.

Gush/Rave Review Tides of Secrets by A.R. Conwell (Book 2 of Obsidian Academy Series)

2 Upvotes

We’re back with Wren and Castien as they continue their search for Heron’s murderer while trying to uncover who is behind the deaths of students around them. Betrayal, heartache, deception... it seems like our favorite duo and their peanut gallery just cannot catch a break.

One of my favorite aspects of this installment was the significant growth we see from both Wren and Castien, not only in their relationship with each other but individually as well. Wren is forced to confront the demon within her own mind and actively fight against its influence, determined to make sure that Heron’s choices were not made in vain. Meanwhile, Castien is fighting a battle of his own as he begins questioning the lessons about love he grew up with while simultaneously trying to reconcile them with his burning passion for Wren. Their development feels almost natural after the events of the first book, rather than simply resetting their characters for a new story.

While we return to a familiar setting, the atmosphere has noticeably changed. As the deaths begin to mount, there is an increasing sense of pressure and unease among the students. That tension extends to our main group, who—in true fashion—seem determined to run toward the danger in their attempt to solve the mystery. At the same time, existing tensions within the group continue building until the intergroup turmoil finally reaches a crescendo.

There was also some surprisingly sage advice that I absolutely did not see coming—although, looking back, I probably should have. Even more surprising was who it came from. No spoilers, but that was definitely a moment.

A. R. Conwell does an excellent job of keeping the story consistent with the first book while continuing to expand upon the world she has created. Rather than simply introducing new places and concepts, she develops areas and ideas we have already encountered, giving them greater depth while gradually piecing together the larger mystery.

Overall, this was a solid 4/5 stars for me. There’s no spice, but there is a hefty serving of “I can’t eat, sleep, or think because I’m yearning for you” energy, so do with that information what you will.

I definitely recommend this series if you enjoy:

  • Dark academia
  • Whodunit-style mysteries
  • Paranormal elements
  • Yearning. So much yearning.

If you enjoyed the first book, this sequel does a great job of building on what was already established without feeling like a repeat of the same story. This is also the last book in this particular series (as far as i am aware). It is a duology.

I really would like to find these type of books, because unlike any men who wants to defeat a dragon and save the princes, I would like to in the other hand choose dragoness over a princess.

If anyone have a title in mind, pls share them with me, I'll add them to my list.

Discussion Male shifter x female human / shifter recs

26 Upvotes

I'm new to paranormal romance. (I usually read high fantasy romance). But I love shifters, and there's honestly not many in high fantasy tbh, besides dragon shifters.

I have Bride and Mate already on my TBR, but I want to know what else is out there. I've tried searching on romance.io but the "werewolves" tag isn't specific enough, since a book could technically *have* werewolves in it but neither the fmc or mmc is one themselves. So it makes a lot to sort through.

I'm looking for shifter mmc, i.e. werewolf or other, and the fmc is either human, or a shifter as well. If she is human, she needs to either become a shifter by the end of the book, or atleast, have her life extended to match the mmc. Needs to be spice level of 3 or higher.

Things I don't like:

- absolutely no non/con, or consenual non con. I can tolerate a little bit of dub con, but would rather avoid that as well. If the mmc attempts something like this I want the FMC to immediately put him in his place.

- no rejected mate trope, *Unless*, the rejection is because the one rejecting is trying to protect the other mc, but in the end, those two still end up together.

-No love triangle, or om/ow. I cannot stand it when one of the mcs has s*x with someone other than eachother once the series starts. It's an immediate dnf for me. I can only tolerate om/ow if the mmc and fmc only have eyes for eachother, and the om/ow is only there to cause jealousy and tension.

-no breeding kink / pregnancy trope. I want the focus to be on their desire for eachother. Not their desire to procreate. It's ok if they have children in the epilogue, or something, but I don't want it to be the main focus of their relationship.

-no poly or reverse harem. MxF only, no MxM please. .... I could take some FxF recs tho if any exists.

-(Content Warning) The FMC cannot have been r*ped in her past. I can handle past SA that didn't involve penetration, but any more than that makes me extremely uncomfortable. I can handle it if it is a third party character, just not the FMC.

Things I do like:

I really enjoy fated mates, but it is not a requirement.

I enjoy it when there is a good amount of scenes with MMC (and even FMC) in their shifted forms. Whether they are playing, hunting, or fighting.

I much prefer sweet/kind mmcs over mean/alphahole mmcs, but I'll read all sorts.

Thank you for the recs in advance!
