Velvet
1,855 ratings – 413 reviews – Average Rating: 3.98
This book is sort of a guilty pleasure because it is obviously a Twilight spin off, but its a fun read and I can’t wait for the third book to come out!
The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids
1,837 ratings – 265 reviews – Average Rating: 4.01
This is a self-published book but it did win the Self Published Fantasy Blog-Off, Hosted by Mark Lawrence, so I am surprised it has so few ratings.
Baby Island
1,737 ratings – 258 reviews – Average Rating: 4.04
My mom read this to us on a car trip once and I don’t remember much, but I remember loving it.
Second Hand Curses
1,332 ratings – 176 reviews – Average Rating: 4.21
EVERYONE needs to listen to this!!! It is genius! I can’t believe it has so few ratings?!?!?!
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels & Other Gentlemen
1,040 ratings · 272 reviews – Average Rating: 3.64
This was a super cute fun romance novel and I liked it a lot.
X-Men: Kitty Pryde & Wolverine
422 ratings – 40 reviews – Average Rating: 3.72
This was the first ever Graphic Novel I read and I vividly remember reading it on vacation at a beach house in Oregon. I loved it and because of this Wolverine is my favorite Super Hero.
One Con Glory
368 ratings – 101 reviews – Average Rating: 3.82
I love Sarah Kuhn. Heroine Complex is one of my favorite books, but it has over 2,000 ratings so its not on this list, but it makes me sad that this one has so few ratings because its still really good!
Dragonshadow
211 ratings – 54 reviews – Average Rating: 3.81
The first book in the series, Heartstone, has 2,214 Ratings – 577 Reviews and Dragonshadow just came out at the end of November, so hopefully that explains why it has so few ratings.
The Dog with Golden Eyes
199 ratings – 14 reviews – Average Rating: 3.75
I read this book as a kid and I absolutely loved it. I was going through a wolf phase and it was one of my favorites
Dealt the Devil’s Hand
15 ratings – 3 reviews – Average Rating: 3.93
This book probably isn’t that special, but it is the first romance I remember reading and I loved it! (I was probably way to young to be reading it, maybe 12 or 13)
Have you read any of these? What are your favorite books with a low number of ratings? Let me know!
So many interesting books! It’s so cool to see the books that don’t get a lot of hype and have so few ratings, even though they might be absolute gems!

Oh! I very randomly have One Con Glory! I thought about reading it several times but never have. I’ve also thought about unhauling it. But seeing it on your list makes me want to read it more. I don’t know a lot about that universe, but I always wanted to read the Sarah Khan book.

Ahhhh no don’t unhaul it!! Haha I really liked it, tho Heroine Complex by Sarah Khan is my favorite ❤ The One Con Glory isn't in the same universe tho, its just a standalone but its good 🙂
