Part 1: 5 Best Fantasy Novels That Could Make Your Heart Beat
1. Rejected And Forsaken
This fantasy novel is gritty, suspenseful, and all the best fantasy adult romance. The story is about a she-wolf’s self-redemption. That is about one of the best fantasy stories for it allows the readers to emphasize the female main character’s development from being weak and bullied to becoming a strong she-wolf.
The title is already giving us a hint that the plot will be giving its readers a ride of emotions. What I like about this fantasy novel is its plot is something I think general readers could identify themselves in. Fiction as it is, it manifests life’s real issues and gives its readers hope in the end, a message of placidity after a storm, of ascending after a series of falls, of claiming once again, that power and strength within.
Those aspects are evident in the main character’s personal transformation. The journey of Lily who rises stronger after being bullied and abused, and finding someone who’s willing to protect her is something relatable. That feeling of wanting a savior, of rising after oppression, is innate in a human heart.
That is why this book is reviewed as one of the best fantasy novels of all time because it’s giving its readers that kind of emotional journey. You will become engrossed in the plot and are captivated by Lily right away until you find yourself invested in the book’s characters because of their depth and significance, which makes you curious about what will happen to Lily and the other characters as well.
Reading this fantasy novel will make you experience a range of emotions with the characters and gain an understanding of why they all behave in certain ways.

2. The Alpha’s Abused Mate
This is one of the best adult fantasy romance novels and is ongoing trending both in the reading and audio app. This fantasy novel also earned good reviews from its fans.
The story follows Skylar’s escape together with her mother from her crazy ex-Alpha. She’s trapped in her past and wasn’t ready to find her mate. Until she crossed the path with Devon, the Alpha of a Blue Moon pack. A lot is happening in this fantasy story.
It is rated 18. There’s so much going in in the plot, that every page would make you want more. Cliffhangers are really a hook. And I have to warn you to hold your heart to the main characters for this fantasy novel will be sweeping you into a roller coaster ride of emotion.
Aside from that, the audio adaptation of this fantasy novel is as good as its written version. It was narrated in a way where every tense and magic were captured in the atmosphere. Its tone was just right, and the narrator was able to communicate the character’s feelings too.
Thus, this is one of the best fantasy novels that people would like not just to read, but would also want to listen to at the end of the day.

3. Chosen By The Alpha
Who does want to be forlorn in the corner? Like how the prince noticed Cinderella at the party, I think girls wanted to be noticed and chosen too by a charming prince.
But this fantasy romance novel is different. The story is about an 18-year-old she-wolf, Hannah who participated in a ritual of choice, she’s not in the first place interested in joining the event but then her life drastically changes when she gets chosen by the Alpha.
This is one of the best fantasy novels in the sense that it will lead you to ask for more. A lot is unfolding that at the end of every chapter you could find yourself saying ” oh..that’s why, ah…what’s next?” The flow of the plot is intriguing. The opening chapter is a bit tear-jerker.
Reading this fantasy story will transport you into the world of the werewolves. You’ll get introduced to their life system. You’ll see how marvelously unique their traditions are such as mating, marking, and rituals.
It’s kind of a whole new world, with thrilling romantic scenes but of course, along the pages, as to how this fantasy story had made you feel in the beginning chapters, you will have that one curious question that lingers – so, how does her life after she was chosen by the Alpha? Has it become better or worse? Was she loved? cared? mended or not? And the answers are for you to find out.

4. Outcast: Daughter of The Moon
This is one of the best fantasy stories that have strong characters, complex storylines, and excellent writing. Character development, the desire to fit in, pampered entitlement, self-sacrifice, and love are all present in it. I’m hesitant to say more for fear of giving anything away, but I can’t help to share how this fantasy novel made me feel! This is actually a series, I think and I’m excited to read the next one.
I sincerely appreciate the time and effort the author put into writing this magnificent story. The plot flows not in what you will be expecting. I tell you you would be surprised by its cool twists and impressive background story.
The fantasy novel follows a story about a strong female lead that is kind of introverted. Kazmiya was born in an inhumane environment. She was gifted in warfare and incredibly intellectual. She was reared by an Alpha family, the Crescents. She seems like a school “Jack of All Trades,” to put it mildly. She isn’t, though, for the simple reason that nobody even knows she exists. As she didn’t want to be seen by any of the children bystanders leaving the school, Kazmiya always observed from a distance, taking care not to stand too close to the window. Knowing that these kids were relieved to be out of their seven-hour school day, watching them go gave her a feeling she could only describe as bittersweet.
That is until the town was invaded one night. Falcon, the teenage Lycan Alpha, also encountered Kazmiya by coincidence. At one point, Kazmiya thought how wonderful it would be to be a member of the Crescent family, but as soon as things started to swiftly go out of control, she immediately understood the desire was only a ridiculous delusion. Secrets will now be revealed as a result of her choice, and her life has changed forever…

5. Mate To A Dragon King ( Sequel to Making Her Mine)
What I like about the audio version of this fantasy novel is the incidental music in the narration. It added atmosphere to the action that listening to how the fantasy story is narrated, it was like you were being transported to the scene. Wehear did very well in the audio adaptation of this novel.
This fantasy story is rated 18. It has matured content. If you like steamy and hot romance then this fantasy novel is for you.
It is a story of April making a decision to move on and improve herself after experiencing a terrible rejection. She has recovered after four years and is working on becoming a writer and producer.

While the male lead, Erik Hadrian Drago has been looking for his mate and is tenacious in winning April. So, the conflict in this fantasy story lies in the hesitation of the female lead to risk her heart again, and the male lead’s persistence, plus their personalities that clash against each other.
In the middle, you will be questioning. How will they end up together? Or will they? I think this is one of the best fantasy stories in Wehear that is worth a shot, not just because of the plot itself but because the audio narration is pretty immersive and transporting.
Some adults might be able to devour a fantasy novel in search of something new and exciting in that same old day. If you don ‘t have enough time, listening to audiobooks may be a very good choice for you to explore the fantasy world!
