10) Queen of Roses by Briar Boleyn (whole series)

9) Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa (whole series)

8) A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L Jensen (whole series)

7) A Court this Cruel and Lovely by Stacia Stark (whole series) @Stacia Stark, Author

6) Anathema by Keri Lake (book one)

5) Nocticadia by Keri Lake (standalone)

4) Beasts of the Briar by Elizabeth Helen (whole series) @Elizabeth Helen

3) One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig (whole series) @Rachel Gillig

2) Quicksilver by Callie Hart

1) Alchemised by SenLinYu

Honourable mention to Daggermouth which is in my top reads of the year but is a dystopian romance.
