I love Annihilation by Jeff vandermeer, and the jester by James patterson
I started Annihilation and just couldn’t get into it because of the writing style. I will look into the other one.
Renegades by Marissa Meyer! It’s a favorite and I haven’t even finished it yet. ??
The Girl Before by JP Delaney (it’s so good it’s in my predictive text from so many recommendations). I’d say it’s psychological thriller
Hounded by Kevin Hearne ❤
The Manny by @Susan if you like MM. Sleeping Dragons Omnibus by @Ophelia if you like erotic paranormal. Breathe by @Amber for an ugly cry contemporary.
The Road
The Way of Kings. It’s long. I’ll warn you. But totally worth it. It kicked me out of my reading slump.
Ryan’s Bed by Tijan
Illuminae
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
It’s an older series but poison study by Maria v snyder. You get tossed into the story and it intrigues.
Or adventure, then I would recommend Matthew Reillys series about jack west Jr. Action from one end to the other in a really easy flow in the style of Indian Jones and James Bond

The Circle by Dave Eggers
Throne of glass series by Sarah J Maas
I read the first one and started the second but wasn’t getting that into it.
I swear they are sooo worth it. I read 6 books in maybe 4 days. Her ACOTAR series is wonderful as well
But make sure you read throne of glass first not the assassin’s blade
I did read throne of glass first. I loved ACOTAR… but ya just wasn’t feeling throne of glass.
