So my husband and I are reading book series together, cause it’s fun!!!! We are nearing the end of our current series so need suggestions for the next series we read! We only have a couple rules, no books either of us have read before and we’re not into romance books! Preferably horror/mystery etc.
We are just finishing Stephen Kings The Dark Tower
One of us or both have read the following so can’t be a series we read together.
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Narnia
Game of Thrones
Seeing what we have read what would you recommend?? Thanks you!!

Can it have *some* threads of romance as a side plot- but not the main? If so,
I recommend **Cormoran Strike** Series, detective/mystery books, fantastic character writing, really makes everything feel personal to the characters, they care- so I care. Also one of those series that creates the itch to go back and reread every year.
Another one that def has romance, but is more than that- **Shogun**. Great character writing for so many povs, machniations and tactics like GoTs, and so much of the book is about the cultural and religios overlap and exploration etc.. and the duality and complexity this causes in character motivations- Which I think is done really well.
The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan was a great series but it’s definitely more fantasy than horror. Loved the world building.
For horror, Grady Hendrix is my favorite author but he writes standalone novels. I loved How to Sell a Haunted House and A Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying a Vampire. The characters in both books are middle-aged moms, which was a really refreshing and engaging perspective for horror. I read Final Girls Support Group as well but wouldn’t recommend it.
