I love A King so Cold so much I'm so mad it's not getting enough love. Like...read it people!!!! Basically I love Ella Fields writing.

[@roseyg7064]

Is there spice in this book?

[@ilovekpop39]

@@roseyg7064 yes there are

[@threeoaks2004]

A King so Cold is great! So smart and doesn’t get enough notice in the community.

[@sak08002]

The other series in the same world as Lady of Darkness, Rain of Shadows and Endings is my all time favorite after SJM books. It blew me away. I still think about it months later.

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I have a few of these on my TBR already, and added some more! Great video!

[@NailTimeWithLex]

I LOVED a lady of darkness! It's so insane as the series progresses! (I wonder if it was one I recommended 🤔) And omg I can't get enough of a court of blood and bindings. I'm SO READY for the next book in the series!! 😍😍

[@aprilskylynn]

Seriously you are the best go-to-channel for bookish talk, fantasy/romantasy recommendations! My list keeps increasing because of you and so far I'm loving each one you've recommend! THANK YOU!!! 💕😭🌷📖💃💞📚⚔🧚‍♀️🐉✨💜💗

[@sarahbauerlein4353]

I appreciate how succinct your book descriptions are. I just binge-watcged 3 of your videos and now I have expanded my TBR list and I'm excited for these future books!! I've subscribed 😊

[@HonestFiction]

Ahhh thank you!!! I sometimes feel self conscious about how I do reviews so this comment made my morning! 🥰

[@thegrapeescape87]

Same, I'm watching her videos and adding mad books to my list as well 😁

[@jordansev61]

Just borrowed A Heart of Blood and Ashes audiobook from my library 😁 thank you!! 🎉

[@emilywootten7600]

The book of azrael was my favorite 2023 read. I could literally talk about that series all day. Can't wait for book 3 to be released in spring! Super excited to dive back into diannas world

[@longfatallovechase]

Great video and recs ❤

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I do have some of these on my wish list. I’ll definitely have to try them out sometime. I did read A Heart of Blood and Ashes and gave it 4 stars.

[@bookedforromance]

So many I loved in this video👏👏👏

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I absolutely LOVED White Horse Black Nights and can’t wait for March 25th when the second book comes out ♥️

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Your library looks professional. Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope you get some great stories.

[@Harley24986]

Heart of Blood and Ashes! I picked this one up because of you a while back. SO good!

[@catherinebugden]

I like to read older series that are complete. Easier to binge read.

[@thepussycat66]

Loved this video! The Savage and The Swan is amazing! 😍 Also The Book of Azrael is phenomenal too.

[@cristinagavero]

Thanks for the recs!! I’m currently going down a romantasy rabbit hole so I’m frantically adding books to my tbr lmao 😂

[@bookedforromance]

I loved river of shadows 👏👏👏

[@Da_s_ArtWorld]

Great video and books! I read most of these, my problem with some of them is that I read them one after the other and I remember nothing of the stories and honestly I’m not interested in the sequels unfortunately. I do plan to finish lady of darkness but I have to go and reread the first two books! Also Umbra king, don’t remember much, a reread is a must. House of beating wings, I stopped in the middle of the 3rd book, no motivation to go ahead. Book of azrael, I’m very interested in but can’t stand the audio narrator 😭….I will add a book from your list, the animal talking one…and we love Ella Fileds ❤️❤️❤️

[@daad8264]

A Dawn of Onyx is exactly what you said. Predictable but delightful. I loved it. It had tropes in there that I haven't seen for a LONG TIME. I was living 😂

[@HonestFiction]

🙌🏼

[@kirstenbrown1359]

How about the Everflame series by Penn Cole?!?! Absolutely the cure for SJM hangover!

[@ella.1012]

I came back to your comment to thank you for the suggestion!! I’m about to start book 3 and omfg this series is now on my top favorites!!!

[@kaylaisyou]

YES. My favorite!

[@carolinafuglister9212]

But that series is NOT underrated at all 🤣

[@liezllovesbooks]

I LOVE Yvenne

[@sarahorme1200]

Have you not read the plated prisoner series? I know first four are on Audible in US last two are on the way it’s incredible series don’t know if it’s darker than most! Also bridge kingdom books are epic! Very excited for Jensons new series!!

[@roseyg7064]

How many of these have spice? Which level?

[@thelegaultlife3096]

Ok I'm going to be that annoying person on here who is like Where did you get that shirt? But omg where did you get that shirt???? lol I love zodiak shirts lol. I have so many more books to add to my already crazy long TBR ......appreciate you

[@HonestFiction]

Ahhh thank you, it’s my favorite shirt! It’s from My Book Goddess (there is a link in the description of this video, near the bottom 💕) you can use my code HF10 to save!

[@0okuzukirio0]
