SCROLL TO DISCOVER YOUR PERFECT READ:

If you answered mostly 1’s, you should read Kate Golden’s thrilling urban romantasy, Half City.

Viv Abbot is an average twenty-one-year-old girl. She lives in an expensive city where the rent is too high, works long hours at a thankless job, and is dating a guy she doesn’t even like in the hopes of winning her prickly mother’s approval. 
 
She just also happens to be a demon hunter. 
 
Ever since her father’s murder, she’s been forced to hunt deviants alone, meaning everyone, including her family, sees her as an outsider . . . Until the day she crosses paths with a dangerously alluring demon, Reid Graveheart. The reformed deviant tells her of a school for people just like her: Harker Academy for Deviant Defense. If she enrolls, she’ll learn to hone her craft, work with other hunters, and never be alone again. 
 
But Viv has a deadly secret. One that not even her new friends at Harker can know about. Not when the school might hold the answers to untangling the mystery surrounding Viv’s father’s death. When strange occurrences begin to plague the students, Viv will have to figure out who she can trust, and fast. All while trying to ace her classes, not fall for a demon, and make it through her first year at Harker in one piece. How hard could that be?

If you answered mostly 2’s, you should read Caitlyn Paxson’s sweet and cosy debut novel, A Widow’s Charm.

Lady Hildegarde Croft is accustomed to changes in position. After all, she rose from maidservant to lady of the manor when she married Lord Thorgoode Croft. But when he drops dead quite unexpectedly, the plans that would have protected her and the people of Croftholde from her malevolent brother-in-law die along with him. What’s a widow to do? 
 
Fortunately, potential salvation arrives in the form of Lord Erol Elmwood, who is fleeing the consequences of using his forbidden Charm to raise the dead and save his own life. Now he’s injured, destitute, and miserable, stuck hiding out at the neighbouring estate. 
 
For Hilde, blackmailing Lord Elmwood to resurrect Thorgoode seems like the perfect solution. For Elmwood, beautiful Lady Croft seems like the ideal distraction from his troubles. The problem is, all she wants from him is the horrifying power he knows he can never use again.

If you answered mostly 3’s, you should read Meg Shaffer’s heart-warmingly magical The Book Witch.

Rainy March is a proud third-generation book witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps into and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and wrangle characters that go off-script. 
  
Book witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real word; fictional characters belong in works of fiction…. Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don’t even think about it. 
 
Except Rainy has fallen hard for the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favourite noir series. After their illicit romance is exposed, Rainy is forbidden from ever seeing her fictional lover again, lest she be expelled from her book coven-and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name. 
 
When a priceless book is stolen from her home, there’s only one person she trusts to help her get it back: the Duke. Thus their shared quest begins through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

If you answered mostly 4’s, you should read Kimberley Lemming’s hilarious and spicy That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon.

All I wanted to do was live my life in peace. Maybe get a cat, expand my spice farm. Really anything that doesn’t involve going on a quest where an orc might rip my face off. But they say the Goddess has favourites. If so, I’m clearly not one of them. 
 
After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all he wanted to do was kill an evil witch enslaving his people. 
 
I mean, I get it, don’t get me wrong. But he’s dragging me along for the ride, and I’m kind of peeved about it. On the bright side, he keeps burning off his shirt.

If you answered mostly 5’s, you should read Lindsay Straube’s spicy, snake-y sensation Kiss Of The Basilisk.

 
Twenty year old Temperance Verus has never been kissed. But that’s what the basilisk is for. 
 
Along with thirteen other contestants, Tem must train with a basilisk to learn the power of seduction and win the prince’s hand in marriage. When Tem is matched with Caspen, the Serpent King, she realizes she might actually stand a chance. 
 
But with tensions rising between the basilisks and the humans, Tem is torn in two directions. As her bond with Caspen deepens, so does her connection with the prince. And when she uncovers a terrible secret about the royal family, Tem finds herself caught between two worlds . . . neither of which she can survive without.

If you answered mostly 6’s, you should read Jade Presley’s steamy why-choose romantasy, The Never List.

Threatened by invaders, the kingdom of Lumathyst is on the verge of chaos, and no one can stop it. Unless the four immortal god-princes find their fated mate – and safeguard the throne – Lumathyst will fall. 
 
Five women have tried. Five have failed. And tonight, in the royal city, the princes need to find their Chosen and hope she can survive the transformation that will make her immortal. 
 
Only Rylee Gray wasn’t supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons – and now they claim they’ve found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she’s concealing a secret big enough to damn them all. 
 
The four princes have no choice. They’ll use every delectably wicked skill they have to make Rylee fall for all of them . . . or watch their kingdom collapse.

If you answered mostly 7’s, you should read Haze McBride’s Celtic-inspired romantasy phenomenon, A Fate Forged in Fire.

Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tìr Teine has been without a female heir for centuries and an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land – leading to the tragic decline of the dragons. 
 
Gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid, Aemyra has hidden in the shadows for years, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people. 
 
But when her carefully laid plans are foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a deadly game of politics and plots. Her greatest enemy? Prince Fiorean – the dragon-riding, fire-wielding royal whose icy arrogance and raw power thwart her every step. 
 
As chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance that ignites into something neither of them can control. 
 
Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for the one man she cannot trust, Aemyra begins to uncover the true weight of the crown. How much is she willing to sacrifice to claim her throne?
