Recs if you like Burn for Me...
🚩He is not the love of your life🚩
"He is literally just a guy. Hit him with your car."
AKA, a selection of "book boyfriends" that actually suck. Featuring red flags ranging from an emotionally unavailable Irish lad to a man who locks up his wife in an attic.
Recommendations welcome. No judgment if you enjoy these books; this list was inspired by my own obsession with Heathcliff, toxic lover extraordinaire, as a teen.
It's a group project!

Backlist Exploration: Ilona Andrews
So you read This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by wife-and-husband writing duo Ilona Andrews and loved it, but you're not sure where to start exploring their extensive backlist? Never fear! Here are 5 series entry points so you can get your fix while we all wait for the next Maggie book! I pinned a comment with a little blurb about each book so you have an idea of the vibes of each series. And if you end up enjoying Andrews' novels, make sure to check out that backlist link because Ilona and Gordon write a lot of supplemental short fiction which they share for free on their website!
I love to reread all of these series, so feel free to comment here if you ever want someone to buddy read any of these with! I love to experience them alongside new fans :D
