Hi! I recently reread the Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelley Armstrong, which is arguably one of my favorite book series of all time. I read it as a young teen and have reread the series multiple times throughout the years and find that I still enjoy it so much.
I'm hoping to find something that has that energy but is adult/new adult. I'm grown now and while I still like a good YA novel here and there, I much prefer to read about adults.
Things I enjoy about the series:
• Main character is not a shifter/werewolf
• Love interest is broody/quiet/tough kinda guy
• Romance dynamic between the main characters builds over time, they clash at first, but grow to understand one another and then develop feels (felt very organic and not over dramatic)
• Romance was not the only focus of the books, there was an engaging plot that was exciting and we got to see the main character struggle but also really come into her own and be a badass
• Werewolf/shifter love interest x human (ish) main character
• THE SUFFERING! I love some good old fashion suffering, not too much, I don't want the whole book to be sad but a good dose of hurt/comfort? Yes PLEASE
Anyway, I know that's a lot of detail but I'm really looking for anything with the general vibe. Well thought out plot and natural romance dynamic with a paranormal twist. If you have any recommendations at all I would SO appreciate it!
Thank you 😊
