I love that book clubs among teens are gaining popularity!

I couldn’t resist sharing some books I think would be such fun choices for a teen girl book club pick!

All of these books are NO SPICE reads that would provide lots of opportunities for fun discussion!

The crown will be claimed—by destiny, by blood, or by betrayal.

The crown should be hers. But when Cate discovers the enemy’s leader, Rowan, holds her family hostage in Oregon, she must face the unstable portal without a guide, leaving the kingdom in the hands of the power-hungry Baron Graftonberg, whose greedy eyes are set on the throne.

With a ticking timeline and Daniel and Lucas by her side, her decision could forever threaten Caelum’s livelihood, jeopardizing the fragile peace with Terra. As trouble and suspicion escalate, Lucas and Mya are forced apart, endangering their new relationship.

With love at stake and betrayal rampant, war brews between Terra and Caelum, while the Embers plot to destroy whoever survives, capitalizing on the chaos.

The next to be crowned will either topple the kingdoms or usher in their salvation.

✨YA NO SPICE FANTASY ROMANCE✨
(Promo post)

Heir of Earth and Sky
By S.K. Horton
@authorskhorton

The Concealed
The Captured
The Crowned

👑 SERIES BLURB

This YA romantasy follows a college student who discovers her ordinary life conceals an extraordinary destiny when she's pulled through a portal into a magical world of rival kingdoms. In a land divided between territories on the brink of war, an ancient prophecy marks her as key to defeating the ruthless Embers, a dangerous enemy faction threatening all kingdoms. Between uncovering the truth about her hidden heritage and learning to harness powers she doesn't yet understand, she must determine which allies to trust while the threat of destruction looms over her new home.

The series explores themes of identity, destiny, and first love through a love triangle with Daniel and Lucas as the protagonist faces impossible choices between duty and desire. With court intrigue, political betrayals, and escalating tensions between kingdoms, the narrative blends portal fantasy elements with romantic entanglements and swoon-worthy moments. Perfect for readers who enjoy prophecy-driven plots, hidden heritage storylines, and romantic tension set against high-stakes magical conflicts where one person's choices could determine the fate of multiple realms.

🗝️ This series is on my TBR!
