Recs if you like Once Upon a Demon's Heart...

"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.

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!

Romantasy books to read to escape reality that AREN’T ACOTAR and Fourth Wing.

Featuring wildly talented authors who couldn’t stop at writing the book and had to paint the cover too. Honestly unfair, but extremely good for our bookshelves.

Bitches be hoarding talent.

for those of us who watched beauty and the beast and saw the beast fight off those wolves and said “please sir may I have some more” this is your more. requirements: at least one isn’t a human open to suggestions!!

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Romantasy books my favorite Toks are reading...both mainstream and indie

Enter a court where stories are not simply told… they are embodied. This collection is reserved for duet and full-cast audiobooks only! Unlike single narration (one voice for all characters) or dual narration (one narrator per chapter or POV), duet narration means both narrators perform together throughout the story, each voicing their character in every scene. Full-cast audiobooks take it even further, with multiple voice actors embodying the entire world.
