Cry of the Icemark is always one of my favorites.
The angel trilogy by L.A weatherly
Tamora Pierce!!!!!!!
Sarah J Maas everything… But I guess she is not really “hidden” ? just my gem
no not at all ? I do live for her books tho ❤️
A hidden gem like a character you didn’t know you would end up loving but you do? I love Nicoli in The Grisha Verse
no, like a book that isn’t mainstream xx
Ruby Red series. They are originally in German but I read the English translation and it was great .
love! I just read Ruby Red recently and I desperately need to pick up the second one x
btw are you Bulgarian as well? ?
Entwined by Heather Dixon…. it’s been a long time since I’ve read it but I really liked it and don’t see it talked about often. ?
Entwined is one of my favorite fairytale retellings ever! ?
Or do you mean a book that you didn’t know was going to knock your socks off? For me that would be The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo…went into that book not expecting much of anything and ended up in LOVE with the book and the character
I’ve heard so much about it, I will be picking it up soon for sure ❤️
2 books that I haven’t read in a long time but love them still today is the intertwined series by Gena Showalter and The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith ??

The Creepy Hollow series by Rachel Morgan.
High fantasy with a little urban thrown in. Fae, guardians, magic, underground dangers, and of course people plotting to take over the world!
9 book series that follows a different character’s PoV and has a time jump every 3 books (so 1-3, 4-6, 7-9) so you are still in the same world and get to revisit the characters who’s viewpoint you read from in the previous books. I really really love how it does that!

@Caroline yes!!! I’m just glad I found out before I started reading them, but after I bought the first two of course. And it really throws me off that she won’t even release it so her fans can get closure.

@Megan sorry I forgot to post a link ?
I’m shit at describing books, so here’s the blurb:
Brielle Atwater isn’t sure of much, but she knows a few things:
1. Having black wings is not normal.
2. Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake.
3. Lincoln Grey is the biggest jerk she’s ever met … but not falling in love with him might prove impossible.
When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed.
After wings sprout from Brielle’s back at her awakening ceremony, she’s sure she’s an angel blessed celestial. It’s not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong.
Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father’s life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City.
She’s immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle’s secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.
To his surprise, the only thing more difficult than trying to save her … is trying not to fall for her.
