No Spice but Real Stakes: Clean YA Fantasy That Isn’t Boring

2026-08-07T00:07:51+00:00

When I tell people I write clean YA fantasy, I can almost see them mentally shelving my books under light and fluffy. That's because for a lot of readers, clean equals low or no stakes. Now, I don't want to throw any shade on cozy fantasy. There are definitely times I want my own reading to feel more like a warm hug than a plunge off a cliff in the dark. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit I tend to favor heart-pounding when picking something off my TBR. Even though you'll find lots of adventure, moments of dangerous peril, [...]

5 Fantasy Heists That Steal the Show (No Spice Required)

2026-08-28T21:27:37+00:00

I've always felt a bit guilty because I find major heists kind of fascinating. It's not as if I've ever wanted a side hustle in crime or anything, but it definitely tickles that part of me that enjoys solving puzzles and conundrums to see how people pull off some big museum theft without getting caught.  So, if like me, you enjoy the heist energy of books like Six of Crows or Mistborn, but want something not quite as dark, you're going to love this list of clean fantasy heist books. As always, every book on this list has been rated [...]

12 Enchanting Clean Fairytale Retellings You Need to Read

2026-08-28T21:29:59+00:00

Since I was a small child, I've been fascinated by fairytales and folklore, so of course, I've fallen in love with clean fairytale retellings as an adult. . I used to wander my local library, looking for tales that caught my attention. At the time, fairytale retellings weren't really a thing (yes, I'm that old!), but there were a lot of books that had collections of the original tales. I ate them up, completely enthralled. So, it's probably not a big surprise that I not only read a lot of retellings, but I also write them, too. (You can check [...]
