Top Ten Tuesday: if you like Shadow and Bone...


Shadow and Bone (The Grisha Trilogy, #1)This weeks topic is Top Ten Books For People Who Like:



Shadow and Bone (The Grisha Trilogy #1)


So I've been reading S&B now and gosh it is awesome! So I'm choosing books that have similar elements to S&B. Such as: dark exciting tone, World Building, falling in love with the bad guy/or Bestie(sexy times), Good v. Evil, Strong Female heroine- learning to master her talent/power to save...etc



1. Infinite Days (Vampire Queen, #1) by Rebecca Maizel 

3. Firelight by Sophie Jordan 

4. The Immortal Rules &/or The Iron Fey Series by Julie Kagawa 

5. The Pledge &/or The Body Finder Series by Kimberly Derting 
 
6. Radiant Shadows (Wicked Lovely, #4) by Melissa Marr - From my experience reading this series you really don't have to read them in order. 
 
7. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand - A bit fluffy compared to S&B but the heroine is there & sexy times! 

8. Wildefire by Karsten Knight - Kind of complicated with all the characters but definitely dark, exciting, full of goddesses/gods and bad guy approved. 

9. This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers- Walking Dead-ish and optioned for a movie, I feel like these two books go hand in hand especially with the tones(but TiNaT is a bit darker; characters dealing with abuse etc and not to mention ZOMBIES) although wouldn't call the leading heroine strong maybe just crazy lol 

10. Cinder (Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer- Great World Building & awesome MC. Alina and Cinder could be sisters!
