Also Kara Thomas thrillers have almost none (the cheerleaders, little monsters, and the darkest corners)

I just finished Sadie by Courtney Summers. A YA thriller/mystery with zero romance. It was really good! Odd & True by Cat Winters. A List of Cages by Robin Roe.

@Shruhashi It’s such a heartbreaking story. It’s raw and real and it honestly reads like a real life event. I highly recommend it.

I suggest the Red Queen series. I love the fact that the female lead isnt lovestruck and level-headed in that manner. I think you’d enjoy it. 2 books in and maybe a kiss here and there.

I totally agree! Mare is more focused on her goal and not distracted by “cute prince”. I love her character but I have to admit that she’s annoying on King’s Cage. But I still love her.

@Donnel on my way to reading King’s Cage. Love her so much ?

This book has action, adventure, best friends, and the romance part isn’t the focus.

***WARNING: This book contains bullying, violence, death, and suicide. Not recommended for those under 16. ***

Bullied through high school, seventeen-year-old Justice St. Michaels is grateful for the help of her best friend Moira O’Fhey. Their only wish is to graduate high school, leave the sleepy town of Fallingbrook and all that happened behind them. The Heavens have other plans. Between late night sleepwalking and being involved in explosive school fights, nothing seems to make sense. When an unexpected encounter with Darien Raventhorn causes worlds to collide it exposes the truth about Justice’s real identity. To avenge a family death, Justice must embrace her birthright, and slay a demon before all Hell breaks loose.

I second this! There it’s romance but it’s not at all the main focus of the books
