I'm about to put you onto some romantasy reads that deserve way more hype on BookTok. Trust me, these books are about to live rent-free in your head.
Y'ALL. How is no one talking about this book?! First of all, we've got Aella, who was literally born without breath (already iconic), and she's giving major "trained assassin with feelings" vibes. She's part of this place called the Aviary where the number one rule is basically "no catching feelings" - which, of course, means she's totally caught them for her commanding officer, Raven.
And can we talk about Raven for a second? Former flame turned boss? The TENSION. I'm living for it. Plus, they have to go undercover in these royal trials while trying not to jump each other's bones, and I just- 💀
The whole "spy/thief/princess/songbird" thing is giving me such dark academia meets fantasy court vibes, and I am OBSESSED. Also, that "love no one" rule? Yeah, good luck with that, honey.
Okay, so picture this: you're just trying to do your job as a royal physician, dealing with a queen who might die any minute and a king who has a thing for streaking (yes, really). Then BAM - your bestie gets murdered, and suddenly you're playing spy in enemy territory. But wait, it gets better.
Enter Erik Lothgarson. He's the son of a general, he's got illusion magic, and he's probably bad for you - which obviously makes him irresistible. Our girl Isabel is supposed to be stealing secrets, not hearts, but... well...
STOP THE PRESSES because how did I almost forget this absolute gem?! Y'all know those books that just grab you by the throat and don't let go? This is one of them. It's giving found family, enemies-to-lovers, and magic that will make your head spin. I literally could not put it down, and my dark circles are proof.
The way Tay Rose writes magic and romance... I just- incoherent screaming 🔥 If you're not reading this one, you're seriously missing out. Add it to your TBR immediately, trust me on this one.
