✨ Warren’s Reader’s – If You Love These Magical Stories, You’ll Be Hooked on Sorcery & Suspicious Shenanigans
YA fantasy readers, this one’s for you.
Whether you’re obsessed with magical schools, twin-powered chaos, or enemies that hide in plain sight, Sorcery & Suspicious Shenanigans is the book you didn’t know you needed—until now.
If you’re already a fan of books like Legendborn or Percy Jackson, or shows like The Magicians and Cloak & Dagger, this story is about to slide into your favorites list real quick. Here’s what makes it unputdownable…
🕵🏽♀️ If You Loved Legendborn by Tracy Deonn…
You’ll connect with Lanelle Sparks, a fiercely loyal girl caught between magical legacy and her own grief. Just like Bree, she’s thrown into a world where who your family is matters—and where secrets from the past refuse to stay buried.
Douglas Academy may look elite, but it’s hiding some seriously dark truths. And Lanelle? She’s got fire (literally) and a lot more going on than anyone realizes.
Why You’ll Love It:
Black girl magic meets generational secrets
A school that’s more survivalist spy-training than spellcasting Hogwarts
A growing mystery with heart, heat, and high stakes
🌊 If You Grew Up Loving Percy Jackson…
S&SS has the sibling bond energy we all crave. Dion and Lanelle are twins—one controls fire, the other ice—and their banter, rivalry, and loyalty feel real and raw. Think Percy and Annabeth if they were siblings with elemental powers and the fate of a hidden realm tied to their family tree.
Why You’ll Love It:
Elemental magic that actually matters in battle
Twin dynamic with laugh-out-loud moments
Legacy kids trying to carve their own path
🧪 If The Magicians Got You into Fantasy for Grown-Ups…
Douglas Academy doesn’t play. Magic here is structured, secretive, and dangerous. There are portals, realms, curses—and not everyone makes it to graduation. When a mysterious realm known as The Garden starts to wither, it’s up to new students Ayana and Damien to help stop a magical unraveling that could affect everything.
Why You’ll Love It:
Secret societies, ancient realms, and powerful relics
Magic that corrupts, heals, and tests you
High-concept worldbuilding with page-turning suspense
💔 If You Crave Complicated Romance…
There’s no insta-love here—just slow burns, second chances, and so much tension. Lanelle’s heart is torn between Booker, who hurt her in the past, and Jalen, whose charm is definitely not helping her stay focused.
Ayana and Damien, on the other hand, are trying to protect each other while navigating their new reality—and something darker chasing them through realms.
Why You’ll Love It:
Enemies-to-something-more vibes
Romantic angst you’ll actually root for
Friendships that grow, shift, and occasionally catch fire
🧭 If You Fell in Love with the World of Avatar: The Last Airbender…
Welcome to The Garden—a lush, otherworldly realm alive with color, magic, and secrets. From glowing trees to living paths, it’s unlike any place you’ve read before. But now it’s decaying, and no one knows why.
Magic training at Douglas is tough, intense, and sometimes lethal. Between combat class, mystery missions, and school rivalries, the stakes are sky-high.
Why You’ll Love It:
Vivid, immersive settings you can see as you read
Epic elemental magic showdowns
A world that grows with the characters

🖤 If You Love Dark Justice Stories, You’ll Be Hooked on Sister Assassins: Vigilante
There’s something addictive about stories where the system fails—and the women rise.
If you’re the kind of reader who roots for antiheroes, craves justice with a side of fire, and wants emotional backstories that cut deep, then Sister Assassins: Vigilante is calling your name.
In this heart-pounding crime thriller, three foster sisters—Nia, Kuan-Yin, and Valentina—witness a brutal crime no one else will fight to solve. So they take justice into their own hands… and become something more than survivors.
🔪 If You Loved Killing Eve…
You’ll connect instantly with Nia, the bold and sharp-minded leader of the group. She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t flinch. She protects her sisters, even when it means making impossible choices.
Each of the girls brings something vital to the crew:
Nia leads with grit and fire.
Kuan-Yin moves with silence, precision, and a tightly packed rage.
Valentina blends beauty and lethality like a velvet-wrapped dagger.
Why You’ll Love It:
Morally gray heroines you’ll still root for
Loyalty that runs deeper than blood
High-stakes tension with a fearless edge
🖤 If Gone Girl or Sharp Objects Left You Shook…
Sister Assassins: Vigilante doesn’t flinch when it comes to trauma, secrets, and the emotional toll of revenge. It’s not just about punishing bad guys. It’s about healing from the things no one wants to talk about—and protecting the people who never had protection before.
This story makes space for anger, grief, healing, and what happens when power falls into the right wrong hands.
Why You’ll Love It:
Trauma-informed storytelling
Justice that doesn’t follow the rules
Twists that hit emotionally and narratively
🎯 If You Loved The Equalizer, Peppermint, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo…
This is more than a sisterhood. This is a mission.
When no one else will act, the girls use their skills—combat, hacking, strategy—to take down predators and expose the truth. You’ll find yourself cheering them on and asking yourself, what would I do if the law looked the other way?
Why You’ll Love It:
Vigilante action with purpose
Plotlines that feel real
Empowerment that doesn’t require permission
🧨 And If You’re Already Obsessed…
Get ready—because things are about to get even more twisted.
🔥 Coming Soon: Sister Assassins: Sinister Seduction
She’s not one of the Sister Assassins. She’s something else entirely.
Isabella Carter is a teacher by day, a flawless seductress by night—and a killer who plays by her own rules. When Detective Eli Ryder crosses her path, their chemistry burns hot and fast… but Eli is unknowingly chasing her, one body at a time.
He’s the one trying to solve the murders.
She’s the one committing them.
As desire turns dangerous, and obsession bleeds into something darker, Sinister Seduction explores what happens when your worst secret wants to kiss you goodnight.
What to Expect:
A dangerously magnetic heroine
Detective-vs-killer romance
Lust, murder, and the thrill of the hunt
Intense psychological tension and erotic suspense
Think: You, Basic Instinct, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a scandalous book baby.
