Reverse Harem - Standalones and 1st in series

Some series had literally every book added to the list. Come on, it's not that hard.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting quite tired to go through every volume of Anita Blake and The Ghost bird series every time I'm looking for a new RH. So let's make a list that can be helpful for anyone trying to find the Graal!

- True reverse harem only (no m/f endings) ;
- At least 3 males are needed to be a harem ;
- Only, and I really mean ONLY, the first book of each series if series it is ;
- All genres allowed ;
- Authors, stop adding your book to a list it does not belong to.

If you like this list, you might like to join us at Reverse Harem Revolution (cult #eatallthecake)

Please try to not add a book's second edition and vote for the one already there. Thank you.

Jeanny Looks like some people have difficulties following simple rules. I see books other than the approved 1st in series on this list.
Rule 3 of 4 #fail Only, and I really mean ONLY, the first book of each series if series it is ;
I understand sometimes teh 1st book in the series isn't the best but just vote for that 1st book aanyway if you think the series is worth the read.


message 2: by Sofie (last edited Dec 16, 2017 02:33PM) (new)

Sofie  Nielsen (girl_that_love_books_more_than_life) Number 18 is the second book in the series. Same goes for number 95


message 3: by Marguerite (M) (new)

Marguerite (M) And we have more than one edition sometimes. I need to go ask a librarian to remove them, just didn't take care of it yet ^^


message 4: by Kewpified (new)

Kewpified I've tried to add Bloodlust by Auryn Hadley but I'm not sure I've done it properly. I do not see it listed anywhere except on the sidebar under my votes. If it doesn't show on the main list, could someone let me know how to add the book properly?

Page one, #14 :)

I'm a Goodreads librarian :) Just let me know which titles you'd like removed and I can take care of it <3


message 8: by Searcy (new)

Searcy The Call of Winter (Winter Princess Serial #1) (currently at #74) is a duplicate. It is the serial before it was compiled into the Winter Princess (Daughter of Winter #1). So should be removed. The other one is already on the list.


message 9: by Searcy (new)

Searcy And a bunch of Kate Daniels made it on there somehow, none are RH. (And they are not first of the series!)


message 10: by Searcy (new)

Searcy Sigh...someone is not paying attention to the rules at all. Adding non-RH and more than just the FIRST book in the series.

So others that need to have all but the first removed:

Elemental Assassin books by Jennifer Estep
Godhunter books by Amy Sumida
Seven Mates of Zara Wolf by CM Stunich
Curse of the Gods by Jaymin Eve & Jane Washington
Redemption Saga by Kristen Banet
Merry Gentry by Laurell K Hamilton
Darkness Rising by Kelley Armstrong

I am sure there are others that are not first book.

PLEASE PEOPLE, READ THE RULES!


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* Just removed at least 40 --- if you see a book that doesn't belong, please dont vote on it so it can stay in the back and be easier to remove later. I only removed sequels and ones I know for absolute certainty are not RH


Bethyboo ღ The Book Addict ღ #225 Angels' Blood (Guild Hunters) isn't RH and we still have some non first book in the series books on the last page. Really don't get whats so hard about the rules for some people.

I removed this book from the list.


message 14: by Searcy (new)

Searcy Thanks Colette! Can you also check for books #2+? There are at least 30 or 40 more of those :/


message 15: by Colette (new)

Colette Searcy wrote: "Thanks Colette! Can you also check for books #2+? There are at least 30 or 40 more of those :/"

So unfortunately how it's set up, when I click to edit the list and remove titles, it doesn't show me which number it is in the series! I can definitely work on this, but it will take some time with a few tabs open (I can't get to it today.) But I can definitely look tomorrow morning <3


message 16: by Searcy (new)

Searcy Oh wow, now THAT would stink. Any way I can help? Specific titles or authors to look at? (I listed some of the series/authors a few comments above)


message 17: by Colette (new)

Colette I've removed many books that were NOT book 1 of a series. If anyone sees anything else to remove, just let me know!


message 18: by Searcy (last edited Jul 13, 2018 02:33PM) (new)

Searcy Edit: Checked through, looks great Colette. Don't see any more sequels. Thanks again!

Thank you Colette! Will do :)


message 19: by Shani (new)

Shani Someone added The Elemental Assassin book 1 by Jennifer Estep (#324). That's not RH is it? I've never read it, but tons of folks have and I've never seen them describe this as RH.


message 20: by Jen (new)

Jen Brady Eva Chase - Witches Consort has more than just the first book listed. #218 & #222, #226

message 22: by Abi (new)

Abi Three Trial (The Dark Side, #2) is on the list at number 169 and should be removed as the second book in the series. :)


message 23: by Abi (new)

Abi Also, Mistake of Magic (Power of Five, #2) and Trial of Three (Power of Five, #3) are at numbers 251 and 248 on the list. :)


message 24: by Abi (new)

Abi On the same page, A Song of Shadows (Otherworld Academy, #2) is at 261. Two Kingdoms (The Dark Side, #3) is at 256.

All of the books from your comments have been removed :) Many of these I have removed more than once.. it would be great if people would follow the rules!! Who created the list? Can you edit it where it has to be approved in order to add to it? Not sure.. as a librarian I can only remove the books that don't belong.


message 26: by R.A. (new)

R.A. Steffan Hi, there—I tried to add The Complete Lion Mistress Collection, but it doesn't look like it took. I'm assuming it's okay to add a complete RH series boxset if no individual book in the series is already listed?

If not, book 1 in the series is here: The Lion Mistress: Book 1

If you want them deleted, I'll be happy to do so for you, but please mention not only number but also title, as lists change if someone votes 😉


message 37: by Colette (new)

Colette Giovanna wrote: "252, 316 and 407 are not the first books from the series"

I removed the books that were 252, and 407. I cannot find a book around the number 316 that is not the first in a series. Do you have this title?

For those adding books to be removed, don't forget the name and number! When we go in to remove a book, many are listed with the same numbers.

Oops sorry, giving the title makes a lot of sense.
The book is called Cursed by Mila young. It is now 317

Since this book still exists and it's the first in the series we cannot remove the book from the list, regardless if it's been re-released under a new title.


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

#323 Four for Christmas is not the first in series


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm not sure but I think #331 Dela's Hunters should be removed. There is an author's note saying that she is rewriting the book as a stright romance and that this one is being or has been taken down.

#331 The Renovation is not first in series it is number 2
