![]() ![]() Lara Veliant is a princess of Maridrina and one of the many daughters of the cruel King Silas. ![]() ![]() There are three books in The Bridge Kingdom series and the emotional investment readers have for the main characters is a testament to Jensen's ability to create sexy but flawed protagonists you can’t help but stan. ![]() You can also try the audiobook version through Libro.fm. Get it from Bookshop or from your local indie bookstore via Indiebound. There’s action, violence, political intrigue, vampires/gods/primals/shapeshifters, horrifying snake-filled zombies, and an Amarantha-esque queen to keep the action moving. The six-book series (four are presently out) builds in sexual content, and in the third book, readers finally get a scene that has been set up since book one. The series' female protagonist, Poppy, is introduced at the start of the series as “The Maiden” but becomes anything but by the final of book one. It’s as if “Under the Mountain Rhys” morphed into a Vlad-the-Impaler type vampire/god with a dark sense of humor and fetish for women wielding swords, but also extremely compassionate - fiction men are wild like that. He’s twisted in the most deliciously depraved ways. If you’re looking for a male love interest that rivals Rhysand in debauchery, then enter Hawke. From Blood and Ash (FBAA) is one of the top recommended series to overcome your ACOTAR hangover - and for good reason. ![]()

His voice is as vigorous and blistering as ever, capable of surprising truth and provoking laughter in the most unlikely places. This is vintage Twain-sharp, witty, imaginative, wildly funny.
