If you loved how Kaye slips from New Jersey’s rusted boardwalks into the knife-bright courts of the Unseelie—and crashes the Tithe under a hill—then you’ll relish the way Neverwhere drags you into London Below. Like Kaye stumbling into Roiben’s deadly intrigues, Richard Mayhew falls into a secret city of angelic gatekeepers and charming tricksters like the Marquis de Carabas. It’s that same blend of grimy modern streets, lethal etiquette, and favors-with-teeth that made the revels and iron-laced gambits in Tithe so addictive.

You liked how Tithe never flinched—Kaye with iron in her mouth, the revel’s razor-edged glamours, a sacrifice waiting at the Tithe. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown has that same gorgeous menace. Tana wakes up after a massacre and walks into televised decadence where monsters own the night, much like Kaye facing the Unseelie revel where a smile can be a threat. It’s sharp, seductive, and willing to get its hands dirty—just like Roiben’s court and Kaye’s daring sabotage.

If Roiben’s ruthless chivalry and Kaye’s trickster choices hooked you—the bargaining, the true names, the way a favor can turn into a blade—then The Cruel Prince will hit the same vein. Jude navigates a court as treacherous as the one that staged the Tithe, where alliances shift like glamours and every stolen secret bites back. It’s the same intoxicating mix of cunning, cruelty, and unexpected tenderness you tasted when Kaye turned the tables on the Unseelie.

Kaye’s realization that she’s not human—and her choice to step into faerie politics rather than run—echoes in Karou’s journey. As Karou peels back the truth of who she is, the story delivers that same coming-of-age jolt you felt when Kaye disrupted the Tithe and chose her own rules. If the thrill of claiming power in the face of ancient enmities (and a star-crossed pull like Kaye and Roiben’s) was your favorite part, this will sweep you away.

If the tension between Kaye and Roiben—flirtation edged with knives, vows that bind, and a court that would happily use them—was your sweet spot, Wicked Lovely delivers. Aislinn can see faeries who play by brutal rules, and the pull toward a fae king puts her in the kind of perilous, intoxicating dance you loved at the Tithe. It’s all there: glamours, bargains, and a romance that feels like stepping into a revel where one misstep could cost everything.
