A Court of Thorns and Roses
A Court of Thorns and RosesSarah J. Maas · 2015
Why it's a match
A Court of Thorns and Roses is like House of Earth and Blood because both are Sarah J. Maas masterworks — and if Bryce Quinlan's gritty urban magic world grabbed you, Feyre Archeron's Prythian is the natural companion read. The heat level and morally grey love interest are consistent across both series, though ACOTAR leans high fantasy while Crescent City goes urban. Readers looking for books like House of Earth and Blood from the same author need look no further than ACOTAR.
Why it's a match
Fourth Wing is like House of Earth and Blood because both pair a heroine with a powerful, dangerous love interest in a world where magic comes with a cost and forbidden bonds have real consequences. Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas both write explicit heat into slow-burn romances that take their time and then deliver a payoff that earns every chapter of buildup. If the magic-bonded romance between Bryce and Hunt hooked you, Violet and Xaden's rider bond in Fourth Wing will give you the exact same feeling.
Dark Olympus
Neon GodsKatee Robert · 2022
Why it's a match
Neon Gods is like House of Earth and Blood because both are mythology-infused contemporary fantasy romances set in a modern city with a divine love interest and explicit heat that doesn't fade to black. Katee Robert's Hades and Persephone story delivers comparable steam to Bryce and Hunt's relationship, in a leaner and more romance-focused package. Readers who loved the urban divine energy of Crescent City will find Neon Gods a natural and very satisfying companion.
Crowns of Nyaxia
The Serpent and the Wings of NightCarissa Broadbent · 2022
Why it's a match
The Serpent and the Wings of Night is like House of Earth and Blood because both center a heroine navigating a world of dangerous immortals, political power plays, and a love interest who is more monster than man on the surface. Carissa Broadbent and Sarah J. Maas both write dark fantasy romance with explicit heat and leads whose menace makes the tenderness even more affecting when it finally arrives. If Bryce and Hunt's relationship kept you up past midnight, The Serpent and the Wings of Night will do the same.
