Recs if you like Iron & Velvet...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Sometimes Vamps suck more than one way

be gay do ✨magic ✨ usually just the 1st book in the series

more mystery stories with queer detectives/protagonists! cozies, noir, romance, paranormal, and sci-fi/fantasy mashups abound, but no thrillers, to my knowledge. tried not to repeat too many books also in the quest! series represented by #1

We’re talking widows of all shapes and sizes…from virgin widows who murder their husbands in old school historicals to modern-day widows who are looking for love because they know how good it can be.

Either historical or modern. Sometimes entirely made up.

The spoopy season is upon us, and queer love prevails! Get ensnared in these books throughout October, where romance meets ghosts, monsters, witches, and all things delightfully eerie. From cozy paranormal crushes to deliciously dark entanglements, these books are sure to give you chills in all the best ways.

“Queer” refers to the identities of the main characters, not whether a romantic relationship is between a man and a woman. This list spans a multitude of sexual/romantic orientations and relationship orientations.

Note: If a series features the same MCs, I've only put the first book. If a series features different MCs, I've only listed the relevant book(s) in the series.
