I consider Karen Marie Moning, referred to by fans as KMM, is Urban Fantasy royalty. She’s the author of what I often think was my first favorite series in the genre, and I hold Fever as a sort of benchmark when I read any subsequent urban fantasy series. The House at Watch Hill, her latest […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@karenmariemoning.bsky.social #AmandaLeighCobb @timcampbellvo.b...| Books of My Heart

Read this lot and either you will have a 101 grounding in the history and development of the primarily British Gothic up to 1980, or you’ll find yourself in a low-cut n...| KJ Charles
I feel like this year I keep repeating something along the lines of ‘I’m not a huge romantasy fan, but…’ because so many books marketed as ‘romantasy’ keep being stellar books in their own right, transcending that (often sniffed at) label.
