If you liked ACOTAR this is a MUST READ! 📚🤯

Trying to get people to read this book series (which is on kindle unlimited by the way) is pretty much my ultimate bookish mission. I am vigilant, I am constantly telling people if they liked ACOTAR then they have to give this series a chance. I promise you this book has twists you will never see coming and a romance you will fall in love with. Not to mention some of the funniest side characters. I recently convinced one of my friends from book club to try it and she thinks we should try to get the whole group to read it! Swipe to see what series you have to add to your TBR asap!
