If the way La Pradera seemed to breathe with the Nomeolvides women—and how Fel’s arrival felt like a fable dropped into Estrella’s life—swept you away, you’ll love the lyrical spell of Ava Lavender. A girl is born with wings, a bakery hums with sweetness and sorrow, and generations of love and longing unfold in shimmering, poetic lines that echo the dreamy, fragrant mood of Wild Beauty.
If the Nomeolvides curse, lovers vanishing, and a garden that answers to love and grief captivated you, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina offers that same hush of wonder. A matriarch summons her scattered family to a house that blooms with impossible secrets, bequeathing strange gifts that echo how La Pradera shaped Estrella and Fel’s fate.
If you loved how the five Nomeolvides cousins move as one—protecting each other and the mysterious boy who rose from their garden—then Blue, Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah’s bond will hook you. Their shared search for a sleeping king mirrors that same ensemble electricity and tender loyalty you felt around Estrella and Fel.
If the queer love threaded through Estrella and Fel’s story—and the deep-rooted Latinx family dynamics of the Nomeolvides—stole your heart, Cemetery Boys delivers. Yadriel, a trans brujo, calls up the spirit of Julian and finds both truth and romance as he fights for recognition within his tradition, echoing the fierce love and heritage at the core of Wild Beauty.
If Estrella’s blooming connection with Fel against the backdrop of La Pradera’s intoxicating flowers enchanted you, The Secret of a Heart Note will feel like a fragrant cousin. Mim is an aroma witch whose nose can read emotions; when she falls for Court, love tangles with rules and rare plants in a tender, garden-scented romance.
