You’re probably familiar with The Hunger Games and Harry Potter books but here are some other fantasy titles that may appeal to teens and adults alike.
Young Adult Books with Adult Appeal:
YA Buckley – Undertow (first in a trilogy)
YA Cashore – Bitterblue
YA Durst – Vessel
YA LaFevers – Grave Mercy
YA Maas – A Court of Thorns and Roses
YA Schwab – The Archived (first in a series)
YA Stiefvater – The Scorpio Races
Adult Books with Teen Appeal:
F Barker – The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic
F Barry – Lexicon
F Extence – The Universe Versus Alex Woods
F Fagan – The Panopticon
F Miller – The Year of the Gadfly
F Sloan – Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Book Store
SF Schwab – A Gathering of Shadows
For those interested, there are two earlier books in the Cashore series – Graceling and Fire. Along with Bitterblue, they have strong female protagonists who are quite different from each other. The books are not actually sequels, but are set in the same world and the main characters come together at the end of the third book. I am awaiting a fourth book!
Great! Thanks for mentioning these additional titles that might appeal to crossover readers.
