hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for some good YA (or even NA) cop/detective books that have a cool mystery plot and a romantic subplot.
One of my favorite shows is the 2009 series Castle—I love the dynamic between both Beckett and Castle, the banter (maybe an enemies to lovers trope or lapdog bf and bossy gf?!), and how the mystery and romance weave together without one overshadowing the other. I’d love to find a book (or series!) with that kinda vibe: tense yet witty chemistry between characters (a lil teasing in there if possible?!), smart mystery-writing, and some kind of law enforcement/detective/investigative setting.
not super into books that are 100% romance with a sprinkle of mystery—i CRAVE that balance! character development and cool twists are a big bonus too.
any recs? i'd really appreciate it!
