If you were captivated by the eerie woods and the sense of foreboding magic in The Darkest Part of the Forest, you'll find Wilder Girls equally haunting. The story follows Hetty and her friends, trapped on an island where a mysterious force warps both land and body. The dangerous, corrupting magic here creates the same unsettling, otherworldly vibe you loved in Holly Black's faerie-haunted forests.

If you enjoyed following Hazel and her brother Ben, along with the mysterious faerie boy, you'll love the diverse cast of The Raven Boys. This book brings together Blue Sargent and four enigmatic boys on a quest tied to ancient magic and secrets. Each character is richly drawn, their relationships and personal journeys interwoven just like in Holly Black's tale.

If you were fascinated by Hazel's willingness to bend the rules and the story's shades of gray, Serpent & Dove will pull you in. Louise, a witch hiding in plain sight, and Reid, a witch hunter, are both thrust into a forced marriage and must constantly make choices that blur the line between right and wrong, echoing the morally ambiguous dilemmas you enjoyed.

If you loved the folklore-infused setting of The Darkest Part of the Forest, you'll be drawn to the Welsh mythology woven through The Bone Houses. Ryn, a gravedigger, contends with undead creatures and unravels mysteries rooted in legend. The detailed worldbuilding and mythic atmosphere will feel familiar and fresh at the same time.

If the self-contained adventure and heartfelt conclusion in The Darkest Part of the Forest resonated with you, An Enchantment of Ravens is a perfect next read. Isobel, a mortal artist, is swept into the faerie world and must navigate peril and romance, culminating in an emotionally satisfying payoff that stands beautifully on its own.
