Hmm...I'm not sure what I would classified them as. Probably the same as you.

I'm really interested in New Adult fiction because I got a little tired of YA lately (maybe because I'm almost 24 and I'm tired of reading of teens ). Easy and Pushing the Limits are in my to read list.

I would also recommend:
The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski
Every Which Way by Calia Read
Ruining Me by Nicole Reed

I got pretty tired of YA too, or at least the bad/mediocre ones that saturate the market

There really is! But on a business standpoint it makes sense: tweens and teens are a huge buying market and they usually don't put the same amount of scrutiny into what they're buying compared to adults

So I'm really happy because I just finished a NA book that was surprisingly good. Spiral by Mila Ferrera. The male lead isn't borderline abusive like nearly every NA book I've read, or even a bad boy Didn't think people knew how to write that any more. And it wasn't that predictable! I still have hope for this genre.

I've read a NA series that is also Paranormal I didn't think it was NA at the time because it was a few years ago, but the characters are college age when the series starts out.

Its an indie series called Promise by Kristie Cook.

Lol I'm reading that right now! I realised I had actually started the 1st book a few years back too, but I didn't finish for some reason. Glad I found it again bc there is like no NA that isn't contemporary.

Oh you are? That's awesome. I love the series. I need to buy book 3 and 4. I have 1, 2.

I agree. All NA usually are contemporary, so it's nice to see something that is a little different.
As long as the rules of NA are still there, don't see why it can't have paranormal or fantasy in it.

The OP of this thread is really helpful. I was looking for something a little mature than YA and they have a NA category on Goodreads but it looks like mostly erotica, which I'm not all too into. So I figured that's what NA is, so the clarification in the OP is great.

What are your favorite NA books?

I like NA. But I feel like a lot of them are corny. I have a few issues with the few I've read but I overall enjoy them.

These are the few that I've read:

The Secret of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen

While It Lasts-Abbi Glines

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping - Alyssa Rose Ivy

Out of the three I loved Hazards of Skinny Dipping the most.

They are. NA I find are very romance-focused, kinda like YA contemporary romance.
NA usually have a dual pov with male and female POV.


I'm reading an NA series right now. It's a continuing series, the True Believers series by Erin McCarthy.
