And it gets better with each book in the series, which is so rare!

Night Circus represented đŸ€© i'm already loving it here

One of my favorites!

You could add Immortal Consequences by I.V. Marie and Red City by Marie Lu

I definitely need to read them to add them to the list!! I’m super tempted by Red City already!

On that note, I actually made my own rivals to lovers list that has those two books— if you have any recs for it, let me know!

2

I didn’t find the rivals to lovers list but your other lists are amazing ! I enjoyed all the books here but my top favorites are probably Fireborne and A study in Drowning

2

Oh, that might be because it’s not called rivals to lovers - it’s called I hope this DOES find you I’ll check out Fireborne!

Also, side note, I'm SO THRILLED to see someone else mention Stalking Jack the ripper! I feel like I never hear anyone talk about it
