trashy paranormal romance books // fall and halloween book recommendations part 3

[@16SF]

Don't be shy, people. You need to embrace the trashy sometimes. 💅

[@devonmunn5728]

Yeah YA in general has a charm to it that i can't get enough of

[@roselin7709]

True but it can also be really terrible

[@caitlinbreanna3422]

I feel attacked. I’m 20, and I’m almost done with the Hush, Hush. I’ve read it ten times maybe more. We ARE STILL WAITING FOR A MOVIE.

[@vampiredetective]

Me too lol

[@agapifreelove]

Broke my heart when you put Mortal instruments in the trashy category..

[@victoriaamuchastegui6208]

Same...:( How could you not love The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices?? I read them at 16, I'm 24 now and still love them SO MUCH. Not trashy at all.

[@Novody1234]

Don't you dare disgrace the infernal devices 🥺🥺🥺

[@LynnieLovesJinyoung]

Same

[@swamp6871]

All of her trashy books are my favourites😂 HUSH HUSH IS LIFE

[@onthefritz820]

Girl... you need to read the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. 👌🔥

[@Jasmine-oq8eg]

Why do I recognize all the trashy books and still love them 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@PutonaChicFace]

So happy to hear someone talking about "Under the never sky"!! I have recommended those books to so many friends, and they all loved them. I think teenage me loved witches and warlocks the most. Vampires were a close second, though.

[@BenHoward206]

I LOVE the immortal rules! Still need to get around to reading the last book.

[@bookishalex18]

I LOVED all those trashy paranormal books in middle school/high school, particularly Fallen, Obsidian and Vampire Academy. My favorite types of paranormal books were vampires and fallen angels. I couldn't get enough of them at 14. I've actually read all these books except for the Coldest Girl on Coldtown and Under the Never Sky! This was a really good list amd now I want to binge reread all my old favorite series.

[@emmaberger3748]

I’m definitely not sick of hearing you talk about the Mara dyer series!! Definitely good. Has issues for me but still really good

[@anacuravic7240]

You literally summed up how I feel about VA and bloodlines :) I have wanted to pick up more vampire books recently, and hearing you talk about the immortal rules and the coldest girl in coldtown just makes me think that they would be perfect for this!

[@cindystarling7401]

Love mortal instruments, the lux series, the covenant series and vampire academy. Shorts inject me sweetly and night firm series

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

I loved the Nightshade books!!! I read allll of them. The trilogy, the two prequels, and the randomly added 4th book lol. I ate it all up.

[@cynthiaromero5719]

I read the Unearthly trilogy, I read the last one last year, and it's still one of my favorite books, I love them😍

[@npeneha]

I’ve seen you talk about the immortal rules before and I was interested so I might pick that one up. I thoroughly enjoyed heartless, so good

[@516angelcutie]

I read the whole nightshade series and honestly i loved it!

[@deanblanton6804]

I recommend Evermore by Alyson Noel. Def in the trashy category, but like, really good trashy

[@queensoulyn7567]

I read this book when I was like 15 and I loved it, but once I got the second book I couldn’t finish the series.

[@courtneys119]

Trashy paranormal romance was my entire reading taste in high school 😂 I’ve had Unearthly on my shelf since 2011 but I never read it so I’m thinking of giving it a go now haha (also yess vampires all the way)

[@kede849]

Nightshade was one of my favorite series when I read it, but considering I was about thirteen at the time I can't really say how good it was. Middle school me definitely thought it was amazing, but adult me might not be as easily amused. To be honest, I feel like the only reason I can remember it is because I was so obsessed with it when I was younger. If I read it now, I probably would not finish it and I definitely wouldn't remember much. Still, I would definitely recommend it to younger readers looking for an easy supernatural romance. Nightshade and Hex Hall were my favorites in middle school and I'm so glad you mentioned them because I had almost forgotten all about them!

[@lifeofbekahh]

My favorite paranormal romance books are twilight, vampire academy and hush hush series and the mortal instruments , Angelfall book series 😊

[@CaptainCrimsonCC]

Please someone read Die for Me by Amy Plum its set in Paris and follows a paranormal romance with REVENANTS people who die to save others and come back to life over and over ughhh i loved it

[@Kiki-lm2nd]

You should check out the premonition series by Amy A. Bartol. I really loved these books even though it has like a 4 way love triangle and I usually hate love triangles. I really think you would like these

[@rachelcaudill188]

I just discovered your channel, and this video GETS ME. Sometimes you want a well-written, beautiful world-building series, and sometimes you just want some paranormal romance. (I am a vampire girl, even though I SHREDDED Twilight when it came out.)

[@kammypost730]

I got so excited when I saw you posted a new recommendation video!! Also I loved Heartless by Marissa Meyer!

[@Ewphy1]

Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep is still some of my favourite. Short books but packs a punch.

[@rileyredmen96]

Liga Pure my favourite series and the new 1 comes out on the 8th Oct I can’t wait

[@Ewphy1]

@@rileyredmen96 had no Idea, thanks for the tip

[@zawadi9929]

You should read Choosing Theo, I loved it

[@lindseytucker6340]

I just did a deep dive down your channel and I want to thank you for great books to add to my reading list. I think we have about the same favorite genres and I am here for it, definitely for the fall series. Hex Hall is actually on of my favorites 😂

[@saharasanford9929]

My favorite trilogy is also paranormal with witches, vampires and demons. It’s called the book of life series. The first one is called The discovery of witches. I love it so much! I haven’t finished all of them yet but I suggest it! Like please read it!!

[@ObsidianOwl16]

Sahara Sanford my all time fave!!

[@annaking6133]

OH MY GOD I've been searching for the title of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer for YEARS and could never find it until now !

[@charlottegeorge7997]

Your last recommendation sounds very similar to a series I've just seen in a book shop called Edan I think. All cool recommendations quite a few are on my TBR and are actually waiting for me to get around to so I can move them off my bedside table. I'm glad I came across your channel. Definitely be keeping up with your videos thank you

[@slipknotbabe88]

Nightshade is worth reading the other two in the direct series. It's really good. You'll hate the end of the third book though.

[@skyrider260]

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. My old time favorite, I love Bones and Cat. I actually really love the narration, I know some people don't like Bones voice but I think it's so perfect. It's a great series but it's recommended for 18+

[@cassiecasserolie2654]

i was literal G A R B A G E for beautiful creatures in high school, i read it in two languages, i was obsessed. i literally wrote an essay about it in french class. i'm pretty sure i lowkey had a huge crush on lena.

[@hannahhefner8458]

Oh my gosh yes!!! The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer😍💜 I love this trilogy so much and no one ever talks about it😫

[@Katesbookdate]

it's one of my all time favorites!

[@VanessaMarieBooks]

Mara Dyer is one of my all-time favorite series. With Beautiful Creatures, I loved the first book, didn't like the second, DNF the third and never continued with the series, but it doesn't sound like I'm missing much. I really need to read The Coldest Girl in Cold Town, it's been sitting on my shelf for years and I still haven't picked it up yet. Great video.

[@devonmunn5728]

I read Paranormalcy about a year ago and it was a fun series. I also read the Under The Never Sky series a while back and liked it

[@meganantoinette2542]

Me: oh I probably won't know any of these. You: first book is Obsidian Me: ...👀 Update: 5 mins in and I've read them all so far

[@earthrootshomestead]

I gotta say, I'm 26 & I just finished the hush, hush series for the first time. It only took me 2 weeks and as a mom and a wife with a job, that's pretty good. I 100% think this is a solid book series. It's a good story and a wonderful romance. I dont think its trashy at all.

[@haileysearle8269]

I loved the immortal rules!

[@ashleighshannon6286]

Under the Never Sky is one of my favourite series of all time. I absolutely adore it

[@guessorreact]

if you need recommendations you should check out Die For Me and Unspoken trilogies

[@shaunakostur2087]

Nightshade trilogy was good definitely underrated. liked all three of them. Would recommend you finish reading them. Very easy to get through ☺️

[@britneynicole8903]

I love reading and a lot of the books that I have read, you recommended. I have really liked the books.

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

I actually reread the fallen series this year via audiobook and I'm just as obsessed as I was before haha😂

[@Anwulii_]

Omg, I remember watching the fallen movie and being so confused and not getting it😹. Fast forward till this very moment when I realise IT’S A BOOK!!!

[@meganwells2103]

I am so glad you had Under the Never Sky! I feel like it’s such an underrated book. I named my daughter after the MC.

[@katsuki_fan2465]

I was and forever be a werewolf girl. I love wolves and canines, big fan. Also I am so happy you mentioned Hex Hall even though you didn't like it because I loved that trilogy in high school and I don't know anyone besides my high school best friend who has read it.

[@hallegolden6221]

☆I was so happy and surprised to see the Hush Hush series! I absolutely LOVE the whole series ❤ definitely one of my favorite books I have ever read so far! And I'm in LOVE with Patch's character (I know typical me loving the sexy bad boy/trashy paranormal YA romance books in general)☆

[@takini4918]

Is there like fated mate romance thing in hush hush?

[@hallegolden6221]

@@takini4918 I don't know i was gonna say not really, but the more I thought about it.... like I personally absolutely loved them myself 😂 and idk how to say it without giving anything away tbh I'm not that good at describing stuff I guess but they really love each other and for her like she didn't really care for him at first but you can definitely tell there was something there. And a high interest in one another. And basically like she said twilight love but with how they were. Like" soul mates" so yes after all of that I would say that they were soul mates but doesn't fully say or talk about mates or anything just a strong burning passion of love. Now if you are into mates and stuff I have read A Court Of Throns and Roses that series which includes mates which I absolutely loved as well. This is just all in my opinion though of course 😂

[@frostfang1]

That werewolf book reminds me of Blood and Chocolate.

[@ashlookssoperfectxxash6090]

omg yes u have to watch the hush hush movie !!!!

[@KaiInMotion]

I've been thinking about rereading Twilight with sexy aliens for like the 4th time because I haven't read it in a couple years and I need some escapism fluff and trash lol

[@NicholaadelaHaye]

I highly recommend Karen Chance. Her Cassie Palmer books are good and her Dory spinoff series is even better.

[@morganunraveled]

i remember reading Fallen but now i want to reread it and finish the series!!

[@milomazli]

HI there, I read the entire NIghtshade series and I loved loved loved the personality of the MC. I think her personality was sooo great (not your clumsy, unsure, clueless MC) and the series was seriously great. The neding though... oh gosh... I didnt like the ending. NOt going to spoil that one for you, its a world building kind of jaw-dropper, but all along I really-really liked the entire series and I hope Andrea Cremer would come out with more books like these.

[@rojack79er]

I was more interested in the werewolves, but it was really hard to find good PNR involving them. That's why now I write my own PNR.

[@lillyandenja5786]

I loved The Immortal Rules, the audiobook was perfect. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was perfect too. I wished she would end up a vamp.

[@booksforsarah2197]

I'm actually sooo happy you included Vampire Academy books in the "good" trashy recs!! I'm still really wanting to read The Coldest Girl in Coldtown as well as Heartless. And yes! Cruel Prince is AMAZZINGG

[@nyssarose9629]

I loved immortal rules

[@lisylizard3277]

omg I LOVED the Fallen movie! And I am so upset that it did not get the recognition it deserved!

[@Katesbookdate]

it was low-key a good movie hahaha. Except the ending. The ending was kind of a mess lol

[@oliviaharris1245]

i loved ghost love stories and witch stories

[@poprocks8316]

The rest of nightshade is okay, especially since we get introduced to a bunch of new characters in the second book that become important side characters. Its basically a giant tonal shift from book one, which i feel like is the best in the series. The love triangle tho,,,,,,yikes. It goes downhill pretty fast. Also THANK GOD someone else appreciates the mara dyer trilogy. I see it get so much hate, but for its time (2011) it was a very unique and creepy and entertaining read that i feel still holds up so. Also Noah shaw. Just that. My ultimate book boyfriend to this day and forever on fight me.

[@deblis1314]

I loved vampires and fae books!

[@noodlekatz4449]

For trashy paranormal romance the entire Anita Blake series. I've read all of them. Oh Oh, Yasmine Galenorn writes really cute witch bed and breakfast series, they're easy reads and fun. Not trashy I would say but very urban fantasy basic? I love her series they're fun.

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

Amanda Ashley is my favorite vampire writer and will ask you that you can do a review

[@jennom2195]

nightshade! ooo now that's on my radar

[@hayleighrangel3024]

Almost all of these went on my TBR! Thank you!

[@hayleycat4899]

I recently just read the whole night shade trilogy in September and I adored it! The last book made me cry! I’m 21 and paranormal romance still gets to me! Lol

[@FlameAndBlade]

I know this is an older video but ah!!! I read Nightshade when I was in I think 4th-5th grade (I'm 17 now), and it was my favorite series. I read the whole thing and loved every minute. But I was also 9-10 so who knows lmao

[@kayleigh6236]

I..have literally read all of the trashy ones you mentioned lmao IDK what that says about me as a reader but I don't really care either. FTR I was team Werewolf/Fallen Angel/Vampire lol

[@rileyp.2116]

One of my newer favorite trashy paranormal romance books is Dead Before Dark (from the Sookie Stackhouse series). Trashy and easy to read.

[@lilyzanoff]

“Can you guess? Do you know?” I’m proud of myself lol because I actually DID know

[@imascrapaddict]

Love your list! Lol I have read nearly every book in 10 of the series that you listed. Unfortunately, I have yet to read Under the Neversky, Mara Dyer, Heartless, Heartless, Coldest Girl, Immortal Rules and Hex Hall. They are on my TBR though and I will definitely be picking them up soon. I really dislike nearly ever movie adaptation, they just use the names and forget the source materials. I can watch them as long as I just think of it as just a movie. I had to check Goodreads on the Nightshade Series to see what I thought. It looks like I read all up until Snakeroot, which was the last released. I rated them 3 stars, so not bad, but not a reread. Do you read adult paranormal romances or just YA?

[@zacmatney7938]

The vampires really got me interested after I read the twilight saga in middle school. I then read the mortal instruments and the infernal devices trilogy so paranormal books were my thing man lol

[@nutshellreadsandwrites]

Molly Harper has a decent enough series (still kind of trashy) paranormal romance: Mystic Bayou. Highly suggest listening to the audio book. Oddly the male narrator isn't that great but I'm in love the how the female narrator does the male Cajun accents. And it's a bit witty. Have been tempted to read her other paranormal romance series.

[@JennaGhoul]

Okay, so I have read almost everything you showed today. I did read the full series of Nightshade and it was amazing. Honestly it was a very well done werewolf book series. As far as new books, the House of Night series has always been my favorite book series. Vampyres, hot men and trashy romance on top of a whole nerd group with a horrible villain. It’s amazing. The other good PR is The Dark Divine which is werewolf based series as well. I was very into vampires and fallen angels and werewolves as a teen. I didn’t really read much fairy or mermaid stories. But after seeing this I want to dive back into some of those worlds. Also not sure if you guys heard but Susan Collins is writing a prequel to The Hunger Games trilogy. Not sure how I feel about it. 🤷‍♀️

[@malicedoesthings]
