i need a book that won't get me into a reading slump, preferably like Assistant to the Villain, a fun enjoyable light fantasy with romance. I'd also take mystery or thriller with romance, BUT no love triangle, other woman drama, playboy or very experienced male LI, or past lover/first love trope please

Thriller recommendations:
The Temple house vanishing by Rachel Donohue
Beauty of Impossible things by Rachel Donohue

Dark Fantasy Romance recommendation:
The Earthbounders series by E. G. Sparks
Sky ice
Glass water
Marble sun

i haven’t read it yet (its on my physical tbr) but im pretty sure thats exactly the book “swordheart” but i could be wrong

Romance comedy with mystery/thriller series: The Anna Albertini Files . There are 6 -7 books in the series.
Book 1 Disorderly Conduct by Rebecca Zanetti

I’ll try and think of some fantasy as well.

thank you guys!! I'll definitely check them out

Eighteen-year-old Emily Cormac’s quiet life in rural Ireland shatters when she discovers a hidden journal belonging to her late grandmother—a record of a secret world where luminous Sprites and their corrupted kin, the Vamprites, wage an endless war for balance.
Drawn into this conflict through a fateful bond with Lumina, a courageous Nateeri Sprite, Emily is thrust into a realm of ancient prophecies, elemental tribes, and deadly trials. The key to both salvation and ruin lies in the Prism—a fragment of the first dawn, capable of amplifying the Sun’s power or extinguishing it forever.
From the fire-swept deserts of Wadi Rum to volcanic fortresses and sacred groves, Emily and her newfound allies—warriors, hunters, and bonded champions—must survive treacherous landscapes, unearth the truth about a lost sixth tribe, and outwit Tiernan, the ruthless Vamprite king who will stop at nothing to claim the Prism.
But as friendships deepen and loyalties are tested, Emily’s heart is torn between the warmth of a rising love and the shadows cast by betrayal. The fate of both the mortal and magical worlds rests on her ability to unite light and darkness before the balance is lost forever.
A sweeping tale of magic, sacrifice, and destiny, Symbiosis of Light & Shadow blends rich world-building, pulse-pounding battles, and heartfelt emotion into an epic fantasy adventure where every choice tips the scales between dawn and eternal night.

"The Edge of Control"
Hi everyone! I’m Cody Alaniz, author of The Edge of Control, a thriller about Alara Vaughn and Nova, the AI she created. Nova begins acting unpredictably, challenging Alara’s control and raising questions about trust, ethics, and human-like intelligence.

I highly recommend it to fans of suspense, psychological thrillers, and tech-driven stories. I’d also love your thoughts—did Nova’s actions surprise you? How would you handle Alara’s situation? Your feedback would mean a lot and help me understand what resonates with readers.
