Where Should You Start Reading Amalie Howard?
Amalie Howard is a remarkably versatile writer whose books span historical romance, young adult paranormal fantasy, and epic romantasy. Finding the best entry point depends entirely on your favorite genre:
- If you love Historical Romance: Start with The Beast of Beswick. This Beauty and the Beast reimagining is the first book in the Everleigh Sisters series (also known as the Regency Rogues) and remains one of her most beloved romance novels.
- If you love Romantasy: Start with The Starlight Heir. It is the beginning of the Starkeeper duology, a rich romantic fantasy world steeped in Vedic astrology and Persian and Indian mythology.
- If you love YA Historical: Start with Queen Bee, the opening novel of the Diamonds series, which reads like a YA Count of Monte Cristo set in the Regency era.
