Recs if you like A Stage Set for Villains...

The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Be advised: these books contain such SCPs that have escaped confinement and have caused havoc and destruction. Read at your own peril. And remember to document your findings.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

Romantasy standalones from YA to Dark Romance

there is something about the sub-genre of (typically young adult) whimsical fantasy that i cannot live without. the fanciful ways to play with fantastic elements and a sweeping romance, unmatched!

are you saving the world? or is the world saving you?

(mainly) fantasy books with (any combination of) morally grey characters, corrupt leadership, and maybe a perspective twist or two.

I love whimsy and books around a circus (or circus adjacent vibes like whimsical carnivals, festivals, etc)

Books with The Last Dinner Party vibe. Specifically their song The scythe. Don't cry,were bound together. Each life runs it's course. I'll see you in the next one. Next time I know you'll call.

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Owlcrate YA Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.

Everyone is adoring the first episodes of Critical Roles newest campaign 4 with DM Brennan Lee Mulligan and our large cast of 13 members. This list is a break down of book recommendations for those apart of the Schemers Table.

A list for people who don't want to be left waiting for the next book release.

• Includes: First books in completed series, standalones, interconnected standalones*

• Subgenres: Fantasy-first books with a romance subplot - some of these romances are very slow burn or don't appear till later in the series

The world is their stage. I'd say break a leg, but these characters are already going through it

All the Owlcrate YA, adult, and monthly sub picks for 2026

Books with average 4 or more 🌟 ratings and at least 100 points of engagement (reviews & posts) in Pagebound from the Master Fantasy and Romantasy List by readandtellstories. For those times when I want to find highly rated fantasy/romantasy books that aren't necessarily indie, self-pub. Books in a series will include only the first book. I can neither confirm nor deny the right for these books to have these ratings. This list will be updated monthly based on outputs from prime list.

Superior and superb male leads that make you wish men like them could be real (not strictly romance genre!)
