Obsidian is enemies to lovers, forced proximity & slow burn — mild (2/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
When seventeen-year-old Katy moves to rural West Virginia, her stunning next-door neighbour Daemon Black is arrogant, infuriating — and, she soon discovers, an alien hiding in plain sight. After he marks her during an attack by his species' enemies, she becomes a target and must stay close to him until the trace on her fades. What begins as mutual hostility slowly burns into something neither of them can ignore.
