If you loved how Mira uncovers Beau Rivage’s curses and is drawn to the perilous charisma of Felix while sparring with Blue, you’ll devour Cruel Beauty. Nyx is pledged to marry the demon lord Ignifex so she can kill him and break her land’s curse—only to find herself falling for the very monster she’s meant to destroy. Labyrinthine rooms, deadly bargains, and myth-tangled destiny scratch the same itch as Beau Rivage’s fatal story-roles and forbidden attraction.
In Kill Me Softly, Mira steps into a town where curses quietly rule everyone’s fate; The Raven Boys offers that same secret-stitched reality. Blue Sargent teams up with Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah to hunt a sleeping Welsh king along ley lines—while a prophecy warns that Blue’s true love will die if she kisses him. The mix of small-town mystery, magnetic (and sometimes menacing) boys, and fate that bites back will feel right at home after Beau Rivage, Blue Valentine, and the deadly pull of a cursed romance.
If Beau Rivage’s beautiful surface hiding brutal fairy-tale rules hooked you, The Wicked Deep delivers a similarly intoxicating curse. In Sparrow, three drowned witches return each summer to lure boys to their deaths. Penny Talbot—and the mysterious Bo—are caught in a love story shadowed by a centuries-old spell, much like Mira’s romance under the knife-edge of Snow White–style fates and poisoned destinies. The town itself feels as enchanted and treacherous as the Valentine brothers’ playground.
If you were torn between Blue’s rough-edged loyalty and Felix’s princely allure, you’ll relish the triangle in The Iron King. Meghan Chase is drawn into the faery realm to save her brother, flanked by puckish trickster Puck and ice-cold Prince Ash. The snarky banter, perilous courts, and swoony push-pull romance echo Mira navigating Blue’s barbed care and Felix’s dangerously charming courtship under Beau Rivage’s story-locked rules.
Loved the rug-pulls of Beau Rivage—the way Mira’s assumptions about the Valentine brothers and the curses keep flipping? White Cat is built on that kind of shock. Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of magical con artists (curse workers) who can alter memories, luck, and more with a touch. As Cassel’s past is unraveled, revelations hit with the same gasp-worthy force as discovering who’s the true danger in Kill Me Softly and how the story-roles twist the heart.
