Scarlet Veil Series

Romantasy lovers that have been wanting a new Twilight Saga with an edge can finally consider their prayers answered! Shelby Mahurin Scarlet Veil duology is a brilliant expansion of her already successful Serpent & Dove books, this time focusing on Célie as the main protagonist. You don't have to read the Serpent & Dove books to find your feet with this series, but it is worth mentioning that you may read some spoilers within this duology if you plan on going back and reading Serpent & Dove.

Célie, our protagonist, has taken her sacred vows, joining the ranks of the Chasseurs as their first huntswoman. Her role is to help protect Belterra, but her heart slowly but surely begins to point in a different direction, spellbound by the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal. This duology shows us just how far she's prepared to go to save her loved ones, and how she is a key asset in maintaining the fragile balance between life and death.

This is a fantastic read for fans of The Vampire Diaries, All the Hidden Monsters and of course ACOTAR! If you enjoy reading romantasy like this, do also take a look at our blog post all about the Best Romantasy Series for 13 and 14 year olds.
