8 of the BEST (I promise) Reverse Harem Fantasy Books That You HAVE to Read!!!

Check out my list of recommended reverse harem fantasy books below! I’ve read all of them, and many are some of my all time favourites.

Trickery by Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington

Series: Curse of the Gods #1
Genre:  Fantasy, Reverse Harem, Romance, New Adult, Paranormal, Magic, Gods, Mythology 
Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being.

In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.

At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won’t ever be forced to present herself to them… Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world—a position that she definitely did not earn.

Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it.

Either way, she is in trouble.

MY FAVORITE REVERSE HAREM FANTASY BOOKS SERIES OF ALL TIME. PERIOD. AAHHHH GO READ IT GO READ IT GO READ IT OH MY GOD.

Ladies and gentlemen may I present the series that got me into the reverse harem genre rabbit hole ever since 2018.

And made reverse harem fantasy books specifically my favorite reverse harem book type. One of the best reverse harem fantasy books with enemies to lovers I’ve ever read.

Power of Five by Alex Lidell

8 Best Reverse Harem Fantasy Books
Series: Power of Five #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fantasy, Romance, Fae, Paranormal, Magic, New Adult, Shapeshifters
Four elite fae warriors. One mortal female. A magical bond they can’t allow—or resist.

Orphaned and sold to a harsh master, Lera’s life is about mucking stalls, avoiding her master’s advances, and steering clear of the mystical forest separating the mortal and fae worlds. Only fools venture into the immortal realms, and only dark rumors come out… Until four powerful fae warriors appear at Lera’s barn.

River, Coal, Tye, and Shade have waited a decade for their new fifth to be chosen, the wounds from their quint brother’s loss still raw. But the magic has played a cruel trick, bonding the four immortal warriors to… a female. A mortal female.

Distractingly beautiful and dangerously frail, Lera can only be one thing—a mistake. Yet as the males bring Lera back to the fae lands to sever the bond, they discover that she holds more power over their souls than is safe for anyone… especially for Lera herself.

Power of Five is a full-length reverse-harem fantasy novel.

I recommend this series if you enjoyed the Curse of the Gods series by Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington, which is one of the most popular reverse harem books out there.

They are both High Fantasy and slow burn, though I feel like the enemies to lovers are more prominent than this one. And each of the guys has their own quirks and are all very unique.

There are also “bonds” in the harem.

Allison’s Adventures in Underland by C.M. Stunich

Series: Harem of Hearts #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fantasy, Romance, Paranormal, Retellings, Dark, Magic, New Adult, Shapeshifters
Um. Um. Um.
Are you reading this?
If you are, I need your help.

I was at a party; I was running; I fell.
And get this—this is the part you’ll never believe—I fell down a rabbit hole.
Like Alice in those old books.

Except in those books, there wasn’t blood everywhere.
In those books, the characters weren’t all male, attractive, and interested in me.
Forget everything you know about the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the March Hare …

This isn’t Wonderland; this is Underland.
Violence, sex, drugs, and magic … that’s all there is in this place.
There’s me, Allison, and there are the men that want me, the enemies that hunt me, and the darkness that’s quickly rolling in.

And only I can stop it.
So if you’re reading this, will you help me?
Please. I just want to escape this place and go … home.

Really loved this series! Super cool and unique retelling of Alice in Wonderland for a reverse harem romance. I have never seen another reverse harem fantasy books like this.

The setting, world-building, and reverse harem romance are all very memorable to read.

Highly, highly recommend if you are craving some great reverse harem fantasy books!

Signs of Cupidity by Raven Kennedy

Series: Heart Hassle #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fantasy, Romance, Fae, Paranormal, Magic, Paranormal, Humor, Angels

You’d think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people’s faces and watch the show, but I can’t actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist’s office, but I can’t get any love for myself. It totally sucks.

I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn’t I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don’t call us stupid cupids for nothing. I’m stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I’m invisible, lonely, and bitter as hell. And yeah, I’m probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. Sorry, not sorry.

All my bad cupid’ing might be why I was exiled from the human realm. You can only do so much before the cupid bosses get all huffy. Unfortunately, my bitterness carried over into the new realm, and then I attacked a fae prince with Love Arrows. Accidentally. Okay, not accidentally. But hey, he deserved it. What I didn’t expect was for him to retaliate and hit my ass with some crazy magic mojo strong enough to push me into the physical realm. Whoa.

That’s right. This cupid just got a real body. And you know what that means…Now, it’s my turn to get some. Love, I mean. Get your head out of the gutter. Wink, wink b*tches.

This similar (even more so than Power of Five) is similar to Trickery becasue of the heroine’s personality similarities.

However plot wise, it’s significantly more similar to Four Psychos by Kristy Cunning because of the ghost theme with the heroine (the heroine being a ghost in one form or another).

Another one of the lower burn and enemies to lovers reverse harem fantasy books. Recommended if you enjoyed Trickery, Four Psychos, or Power of Five in that order.

The Lost and the Chosen by Ivy Asher

Series: The Lost Sentinel #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Magic, Paranormal, Vampires, Urban Fantasy, Shapeshifters, Witches
My name is Vinna, and I’ve been keeping a lot of secrets.

You would too if you’d experienced some of the weird shit I have: red-eyed monsters chasing me, markings on my body appearing out of nowhere, a strange power that crackles colorfully over my skin from time to time, and don’t get me started on the weapons I can conjure up almost out of nowhere.

Lucky for me, I have yet to meet someone whose ass I couldn’t kick, inside the ring or out. I put that to the test when I run headfirst into a fight that brings all my secrets, and reality as I know it, crashing down around me.

Now, I’m looking for answers and trying to piece together what the hell is going on. Paranormal is my new way of life. It’s not going to be easy, and I’m not exactly welcome.

That is, until I meet the boys, and trust me, they are anything but boyish.
I’m up against elders who think I’m too powerful, a family who views me as a threat, and something lurking in the shadows that’s been coming for me my whole life.

There’s not a chance in hell I’m going down without a fight. I’m not lost anymore, and I’m about to show this world exactly what I can do.

This series are some reverse harem fantasy books with medium slow burn and slight enemies to lovers.

Signs of Cupidity by Raven Kennedy

Series: Heart Hassle #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Paranormal, Fantasy, Romance, New Adult, Magic, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, College, Supernatural,

When Evelyn Maynard receives a scholarship to the exclusive Bradford Hills Institute, she’s determined to make a fresh start. The Institute is world renowned for educating and training Variants – the 18% of the population fortunate enough to have superhuman abilities. As a human, she’s lucky to be admitted.

She’s done with fake identities, running and lying but once again she finds herself surrounded by secrets.

Some she’s been keeping her whole life.

Some have been kept from her.

Some she finds herself dragged into…

Ethan, Josh, Tyler and Alec have some of the rarest Variant abilities Evelyn has ever seen. They fascinate, intrigue and attract her, but is it their abilities, their own secrets or something more that Evelyn can’t seem to stay away from? The secrets they keep could drag Evelyn so deep into their dangerous and exciting world that she’ll never be the same.

And the answers she finds could get them all killed.

The New Gods by Ripley Proserpina

Series: Rebels and Curses #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fantasy, Romance, Mythology, Paranormal, Greek Mythology, Adult, Urban Fantasy Gods Retellings
Kiss me or kill me?

All my life, I’ve been fascinated by stories about gods and the mortals they treated like toys.

Now I’m at Oxford University with a newly acquired doctorate, and I’m making a career out of my childhood obsession. There, among medieval buildings and famous libraries, I meet five men who have names right out of Greek mythology.

Achilles. Hector. Paris. Pollux. Orestes.

I’m drawn to them, not only because of their names, but by the passion they try to hide.

And the way our fates seem inexplicably linked.

Turns out, I’ve uncovered an ancient artifact that could do more than just turn the academic world on its head. It’s the key to releasing a pantheon of angry gods who’ve had millennia to plot their revenge. And it’s the reason these legends have emerged from the shadows.

Five men who were once princes, generals, and tragic heroes have vowed to stop at nothing to prevent the world from descending into chaos again. Even if it means ignoring the growing passion between us and wiping me off the face of the earth.

Beyond the Faerie Gate by Marie Mistry

Series: The Lost Sentinel #1
Genre: Reverse Harem, Fae, Romance, High Fantasy, Paranormal, Shapeshifters, Magic, New Adult
A secret kept, a queen hidden, and her warriors lost.

Afflicted by a mysterious and terrible illness that’s haunted me since childhood, I’ve resigned myself to living life as a burden to my family. Until a fae knight comes to my village and tells me that everything I know is a lie.

It seems impossible, but he swears that I’m a fae queen, raised in the mortal realm for my own safety. And the time has come for me to return home to Faerie and rule.

Only my queendom isn’t what it once was. It’s fractured, divided, broken. And the men of my royal guard—a group of deadly and eccentric warriors sworn to protect me—have disappeared, scattered to the wind. I have to reunite them if I want to have any chance of surviving the war that has consumed the land, and the invaders at our gates.

Slowburn fantasy series with fae and magic. Series will be fully completed at late 2023 with the release of the 3rd book.

As many readers may know (especially romance book readers), oftentimes we like to seek out book tropes and read romance books that include the book tropes we usually like and the book tropes we want to read at the moment. It’s what drives a lot of book recommendations and is a common way we seek out books to read.

If you are a reader who is interested in:

  • Tracking tropes that you have already read
  • Tracking tropes that you would want to read in the future
  • Collect original trope ideas that you came up with (and haven’t come across before)

Then this book trope reading journal is perfectly made for you!
