idk if anyone else is like me, but for a long time after reading the Locked Tomb series, I had absolutely nothing else like it to scratch a similar itch.
Over the last 2 years I’ve found two other awesome books that give me a bit of the same feeling.
One is “Charon Docks at Daylight” by Zoe Reed. It’s a HARDCORE enemies-to-lovers book. They’re PROPER fucking enemies at first.
The other one was only released this year, it’s “The First and Last Demon” by Hiyodori (although it’s subheading of it being a romance is burying the lede a little- there is romance but it’s definitely not a romance novel).
If anyone has any other suggestions I’d love to hear them 0u0
I recommend The Serpent Gates duology by AK Larkwood! Incredibly creative and crazy fantasy world, has that same laugh out loud then swift kick in the gut feeling of TLT. Also Muir and Larkwood have delightful headcanons of their characters hanging out.
