I love a good ol’ enemies-to-lovers or lovers-to-enemies story, especially if it’s set in a grand magical world where the fates have conspired for them to become mortal enemies, be it Reylo, Dramione, Zutara and “Shadow and Bone” or the Grishaverse’s Darklina and Helnik. Hey, a love that can defy society’s odds? We’re all for that.
A book with an enemies-to-lovers tag coupled with the fantasy genre is a surefire way to get me to grab it, so here are a couple of reads that got me and my fellow ETL-obsessed readers hooked. Let that sweet, slow-burn tension simmer on.Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar Jude’s a human in a fae world, committed to finding her place in a universe that seems to despise her. Cardan’s the youngest son of the High King, and in Jude’s POV, the most wicked of them all. With their hostility for each other, Jude will defy him and the High Court of Faerie to climb up its ranks—even if Prince Cardan might just end up as king.“A Court of Thornes and Roses” by Sarah J. MaasFor Feyre and her family to survive, the huntress kills a wolf while fighting for their shared prey.
Former witch Lou has fled her coven and into a city where her kind are hunted and burned to death. Reid, brought up by a clergy bent on eradicating magical folk, lives with that purpose alone. A curse afflicts the pair, tying them to something they didn’t know was possible: a mystical marriage.Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov
It’s 1926 in Shanghai and a feud between two gangs is leaving its streets bloody. The “Romeo and Juliet” retelling centers on 18-year-old Juliette, a former flapper and heir to the Scarlet Gang. Opposite her is Roma, the White Flowers’ own successor, who’s behind every move that’s targeting Juliette and her crew. Rumors of a strange monster then begin to spread in the city, leaving both gangs—especially Roma and Juliette—to set aside their grudges to work against a common enemy.
