I don’t usually read fantasy books, but recently finished the All Souls Trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life, Times Convent) by Deborah Harkness and I am obsessed!
Things I liked in it:
* Strong/smart female characters
* Fantasy but set in modern, real world with unsuspecting humans
* Slow burn romance that didn’t over shadow the entire plot and wasn’t overly spicy/the whole point of the book
* Good character development/world building
* Not YA, written for adults (I don’t mean spice but actually written with language and themes aimed at adults)
Doesn’t necessarily need to be vampires or witches.
Are there any similar series or stand alone books that are similar to this?
Thanks!
