If you’re a fan of BookTok, then you probably know that a new literary genre has taken over readers — and that’s romantasy. Thanks to authors like Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, the romance fantasy genre has skyrocketed in popularity — and it’s become hard to decipher which romantasy books to add on your to-read list. Well, we are J-14 are here to tell you which recent romantasy books from this year are worth reading. Keep reading for a guide to the best romantasy books to come out of 2024:
First, we’ll start with romance writer Ali Hazelwood‘s first dip into the fantasy genre, with Bride being released in February. If you’re still not quite over your Twilight phase, then this paranormal book is definitely for you.
Bride follows a “vampyre” named Misery Lark, who is forced to marry an alpha werewolf in order to form an alliance between the two supernatural creatures. Lots of romantasy tropes fall into this book: forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers, you name it!
However, if you want something a bit less paranormal and a bit more fantastical, then you came to the right place. From magical viking romances to witchy enemies-to-lovers books, J-14 compiled a list of some of the best romantasy you can get your hands on right now. 2024, in particular, was a pretty great year for the genre — and while it’s often difficult to pick just one romantasy story (as their names and book covers are often all very similar), we read, parched through and picked our favs, and compiled a list of some stories we think rival even the genre’s unanimous favorites (Fourth Wing and the bible, ACOTAR).
So, open up your Goodreads app and get ready to drive over to your local bookstore as you dive into these stellar recs, if we do say so ourselves. Scroll through our gallery for a list of the best romantasy books of 2024 (so far):
