If the sea-drenched dread and blood-bound spells of The Dark Tide hooked you—Eva’s sacrificial tide, the town’s fear, Lina bargaining with forbidden magic—you’ll love the brine-soaked hauntings of House of Salt and Sorrows. Annaleigh’s island manor is plagued by funerary rites, ghostly visions, and a creeping curse that turns every feast and dance into a brush with death. It has that same eerie, ritual-driven magic and cliffside peril that made Eva’s bargains feel so intoxicating and lethal.

You liked how Lina and Eva’s wary alliance in The Dark Tide smoldered into something tender right in the heart of a city under siege by magic. In Sweet & Bitter Magic, a cursed witch who cannot love and a girl who feels too much must break a spreading hex before it consumes their home. The pull between them—full of sharp banter, aching longing, and risky spellwork—echoes the way Eva and Lina negotiate power, trust, and desire amid looming catastrophe.

If Eva’s iron poise as Witch Queen and Lina’s stubborn courage grabbed you in The Dark Tide, The Winter Duke centers another formidable girl stepping into deadly power. Ekata inherits a frozen city where court knives are as sharp as any spell, and every choice can doom the realm. Watching her outmaneuver rivals and survive assassination attempts scratches the same itch as seeing Eva hold the tide at bay—duty, cunning, and a steel-spined heroine owning her crown.

If you were drawn to how Lina and Eva start as adversaries—one sworn to save her brother, the other bound to a crown—and slowly kindle trust in The Dark Tide, Crier’s War delivers that same knife’s-edge chemistry. Human rebel Ayla infiltrates the household of Automa princess Crier to exact revenge, only to find loyalty and desire pulling in opposite directions. The glances, the betrayals, the tentative alliance—this is that delicious, taut evolution of a relationship you loved.

If the moral tightrope in The Dark Tide—Eva damning a boy each year to save the city, Lina risking others to save her own—stayed with you, The Young Elites dives even deeper. Adelina’s gifts are potent and terrifying, and every victory asks a darker price. Like Eva’s tide-binding power and Lina’s desperate deals, Adelina’s choices force you to ask what salvation is worth when the magic that saves can also corrupt.
