Little White Lies
What’s better than one Jennifer Lynn Barnes series? Two! The Debutantes series is full of the same JLB-style high-stakes twisty plot, but with a bit more well, bless your heart!

A Pretty Implausible Premise
by Karen Rivers
If your favorite story from Games Untold is “The Same Backward as Forward,” this is the book for you! This love-at-first-sight story about two teens dealing with trauma and family instability will make you believe in love… and maybe just break your heart.
Emmett
by L. C. Rosen
Emmett is the perfect mix of light-hearted romance, comedy-of-errors style humor, and just a dash of touching coming-of-age drama perfect if you’re looking for something in the vein of “Five Times Xander Tackled Someone (and One Time He Didn’t)! Plus it a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma, and as a major Austen nerd who takes her re-tellings very seriously, I can promise you this one is absolutely pitch-perfect!
Heiress Takes All
by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka
If you’re looking for more high-stakes high-society drama, look no further than Heiress Takes All! Full of scheming, double-crosses, and glitzy billionaire glamor, this book features a revenge heist taking place during the wedding of the decade led by the daughter of the groom! Plus we’ve got a second-chance romance in the works!
Royal Heirs Academy
by Lindsey Duga
Four teens, one glamorous boarding school, and a crown for the taking? Count me in! If you’re looking for more of that Inheritance Games-style drama, this spectacle of royal intrigue, back-stabbing, and pitch-perfectly romantic love triangles is for you! Set at an ultra-elite boarding school (based on a very real school in Wales), Royal Heirs Academy follows four heirs to a fictional European nation, and their fight for the crown!
Up All Night
edited by Laura Silverman
If you found the short-story format of Games Untold refreshing, you will adore Up All Night, a collection of romantic tales that take place between sunset and sunrise! It’s got twisty mysteries, time-slip tales, and of course romance!!
The Inheritance Games
That’s right, I’m telling you to jump back into the book that started you on this path. Why? Because a reread of The Inheritance Games is always a good idea. And how fun will it be to see where Avery and the Hawthorne brothers all began after seeing where they all wind up? At least… for now!
The Lying Woods
If you love Games Untold for the mysteries solved (and new mysteries uncovered), you’ll love The Lying Woods! When Owen Foster learns his silver-spoon life has been funded by stolen money, he’s forced to return to his hometown to finish senior year, where everyone despises him for what his father did. Owen is determined to get to the bottom of what really happened, but will his hunt for the truth lead him to uncover secrets better left buried?
