To kick things off...

The Collected Works of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

Great book, only 258 pages, and works for F (character AJ Fikry) and I (character Ismay)

Genre: Fiction (contemporary)

--------


On the Edge by Ilona Andrews
309 pages

Genre: Paranormal Romance, but I think it is more like Urban Fantasy. Ilona Andrews books are a great option for any I needs, and this series works for E and the first book for O

Here are some that I have read myself. I hope it helps.

E
by Emma Chase
by Ann Aguirre
by Elisabeth Naughton (Eternal Guardians)--also a free book on amazon
(Elemental Assassin Series)

by Ella Frank

by Elizabeth Hoyt


I
by Larissa Ione
by Dianne Duvall (Immortal guardians series)
by Pamela Clare (I-team series)
(Immortals After Dark series)
by Isaac Marion








O
by Cindy Gerard (One- Eyed Jack series)
by Diana Gabaldon




Lauren Oliver
(Onyx series)

I totally forgot about Samantha Young.

Author, series, books and/or character's names for Y



World of the Lupi series - Lily Yu

If you don't mind Christian HF, Kathleen Y'Barbo is an option for a "Y".

Melissa, World of the Lupi can also yield "E" for the author Eileen Wilks.

another character Y is Jane Yellowrock

Ezi, I could kiss you, I was really worried about the "Y" since the challenge started, I totally forgot about Jane :) Thanks for the reminder.

I like kisses. LOL

That was one of the first ones that got recommended to me in PIFM challenge at RRRC group before I finally joined the MM group on here. (view spoiler)[ I remember lmao when he responded all with the email instead of just his partner (so long ago I can't remember names) :D (hide spoiler)]

Oh, Ink by Isabelle Rowan sounds really good. definitely want to read that but i already started another book so that will have to wait for another time. Thanks Ezi
