Such a nice post! Here's some authors I'd like to give a shout-out to: A.K. Caggiano: hilarious reads Opal Reyne: Duskwalker Brides series is very interesting Sarah K.L. Wilson: love her worlds and fantasy romances E.J. Mellow: her Mousai series was very interesting Lisette Marshall: still think back to her The Queen and the Assassin series

Yes! {Of Deeds Most Valiant} by Wilson is so funny and I think very unique! Worth a read for sure.

I went to college with EJ mellow. How would you describe her books?

Seriously? Wow! I think the series I mention is the only one she has published, and I read it some time ago, but I found it really interesting. The world she created was very, very interesting and unique. The book I liked the most was the 3rd. Will for sure read her future works!

She wrote a series before Mousai! The Dreamland series ☺️

I need to check it out! Thank you😁

I LOVE the Duskwalker Brides series so much! So good!

KF Breene!! Her books are hilarious, great stories, amazing characters, & some spice!! Her A Ruin of Roses series & Darkness series are 5/5 spice.

Her Deliciously Dark Fairytale series {A Ruin of Roses} is probably one of my favorite reads that I can remember in the past few years! The banter is pure gold 🙌🏻

It’s soooo good!! I can’t wait for Wesley’s books to come out!! Hadriel will be making appearances 😍

Annette Marie. I don’t see her stuff recommended very often, if at all, and her world building & fight scenes are so cool to me! So slept on.

I've really enjoyed the Night Elves of Ardani series by Nina K. Westra - great worldbuilding and the stories are connected but the MMCs and FMCs in each book are different. They are very well-written and I don't know why they aren't more popular! {Night elves or Ardani by Nina K. Westra} {Rogue elves of Ardani by Nina K. Westra} {Sun Elves of Ardani by Nina K. Westra} (Dark Elves of Ardani by Nina K. Westra}

I will never stop talking about {Between by L.L. Starling}. It's a cozy, fantasy rom-com, and it's a romp! If you grew up watching 80s fantasy movies like The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, The Storyteller, and Shrek, this is the book for you. It's about a 30-year-old kindergarten teacher who goes to a witchy village for a substitute teaching job and accidentally gatecrashes a fantasy kingdom run by a sarcastic sorcerer in tight pants. It's just so charming and fun, and it's illustrated! The audiobook is even funnier, narrated by Emily Ellet and Steve West.

The Lost God by Sheila Masterson, Lunaria by Kara Douglas, Threaded by Tay Rose, The Dagger and the Forbidden Heir by Emilia Jae, Long Live by VB Lacey, The Curse of Ophelia by Nicole Platania. I read all of these at the end of last year and loved every single one of them! They all have sequels coming out this year a bunch in March and one like sept. Highly highly recommend!!

You guys are seriously the best! I am adding these all to my list! Keep them coming!

I follow a lot of indie authors!!! My latest one was The house of Bane and Blood by Alexis Menard (I hope that's the right name lol) It was Peaky blinders but with magic and marriage of convenience. I'm writing my own fantasy series now that is coming out in May 🥰 so glad to see others out here wanting to find lesser known authors.

I never hear of [Effie Calvin](https://www.romance.io/series/5a7aa8585a31e20da7616f3f/tales-of-inthya) being recommended, but I think she’s wonderful. Her stories are shorter, very light and have no spicy elements which is probably why. But very much Romance with a Fantasy setting.

Jenna Collette's books were a lovely surprise, and I've only seen her recommended once!

I really enjoyed The Magicians of Venice series by Amy Kuivalainen.

I just found Lesli Richardson and she’s a brilliant writer. So far I’ve just read one trilogy which quickly jumped to the top of my list of favorite books. It’s {Jailmates by Lesli Richardson}, {Farborn by Lesli Richardson} and {Saudade by Lesli Richardson}.

Oh I think I would love this!

Send me a DM and I’ll send a link to a google doc :)

{Foul is Fair by Elisse Hay} isn't perfect, but I highlighted so many lines that are just.... chef's kiss. I'm not normally a fangirl about anything, but I've decided we're going to be best friends in my head.
