Spice levels vary, but the list primarily includes books with plot + open-door spice. Majority of authors highlighted are Black and/or BIPOC. Monsters in this list include aliens, demons, shifters, eldritch beings––the whole gang!

📚I've read a majority but not all of these books.

After following the amazing antics of OfficialHellsBelles on Instagram, I have made a list of the books and authors mentioned.

Also read Jaysea Lynn’s For Whom the Belle Tolls! 💜

Updated note: several books are missing, but I requested them from the librarians. I also skipped all the Sarah J Maas books.
