10 BookTok Romantasy Reads To Read Right Now
If you're into…
1. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
✨ "Nothing is ever simple when the gods are watching." ✨This is the book that launched a thousand obsessions. Poppy is a badass heroine sworn to a sacred destiny, until a smirking golden-eyed guard ruins everything. Expect: deadly secrets, enemies-to-lovers tension, and one hell of a plot twist. Perfect for fans of steamy slow-burns and morally gray men.
2. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
🧚 Beauty and the Beast meets 1000+ fan theories and wingspans. 🧚If you're on BookTok, you know that this is just the start of everyone's romantasy journey. Feyre is a mortal huntress dragged into the fae lands, and that's just the beginning. This series has everything: epic romance, ancient curses, court politics, and "the mating bond." Once you meet Rhysand, it's over for you.(Honestly, anything written by Sarah J. Maas will become an obsession and key part of your personality...I don't make the rules. 🤷♀️)
3. Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
🐉 Think Hunger Games meets spicy dragon school. 🐉If you've ever wanted to ride dragons while navigating deadly exams, secret powers, and off-limits lovers, this is your book. Violet may not be physically built like a warrior, but she's no damsel, and her enemies? Yeah, they might be her only shot at surviving.
4. The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
🗡️ A princess assassin forced to marry the enemy king. What could go wrong? 🗡️This one is for the "stab him, then kiss him" folks. Lara is trained to destroy the man she's forced to marry, but the longer she spends with him, the more she questions everything. Expect slow-burn, political intrigue, and intense emotional payoff.
5. Radiance by Grace Draven
👑 An arranged marriage between a human and a monstrous fae prince…with zero insta-love. 👑This underrated gem is soft, slow, and swoony. Ildiko and Brishen aren't beautiful (or even really nice) to each other...at first. But their respect, banter, and trust build one of the most wholesome (and still hot!) love stories in romantasy.
6. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin
🧙♀️ A witch and a witch hunter are forced to marry. Cue the chaos. 🧙♀️Lou is chaotic and sassy; Reid is stiff and serious. Watching them clash (and then burn) is half the fun. If you like morally complex worlds with forbidden romance, magic, and cinnamon-roll-turned-problematic men, grab this.
7. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
🖤 Welcome to Elfhame, where lies are currency and love is war. 🖤 Jude Duarte is a human raised in the cruel fae court, and she's out for power. Cardan is the arrogant, hateful prince who can't stop watching her. It's toxic. It's soooo BookTok. And it's...tails.
8. The Savage Lands series by Stacey Marie Brown
🌶️ If you like the ACOTAR vibe but grittier and steamier, this one's for you. 🌶️It's set in a post-war world where fae rule and humans are barely surviving. Brexley (yes, icon name) is thrown into a deadly prison where survival means making alliances, especially with the dangerously beautiful fae warrior who might be her enemy…or her only shot at freedom.
9. The Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent
🧛♀️ Hunger Games meets vampire court meets epic love story. 🧛♀️ (Clearly, I love the Hunger Games a bit too much.) Oraya is a human adopted by the vampire god of death, and now she has to fight to survive the Kejari, a brutal tournament full of monsters, politics, and betrayal. Enter: a mysterious rival with secrets and sharp teeth. The tension? Unmatched.
10. The Married to Magic series by Elise Kova
🧝♂️ Fantasy marriage of convenience, soft cinnamon roll magic warrior elf king, and cozy romance vibes. 🧝♂️Each book in this series is a standalone with a fresh couple and setting, but they're all connected by a magical world and super romantic plots. In A Deal With the Elf King, a human girl is taken to the fae realm as the next "Human Queen," and her icy elf king husband is not ready to fall in love…until he very much does.
