No sequels to 'Rooftoppers,' but that’s almost part of its charm—it’s a complete, self-contained adventure. Instead of waiting for a follow-up, I’ve been revisiting other middle-grade treasures like 'A Face Like Glass' by Frances Hardinge or 'The Girl Who Drank the Moon' by Kelly Barnhill. Both have that blend of whimsy and depth Rundell nails.
If you’re into the historical setting, 'The Night Diary' by Veera Hiranandani offers a different but equally poignant journey. 'Rooftoppers' is special because it leaves room for imagination—what happens next is up to you!
'Rooftoppers' left such an impression on me—I remember finishing it and immediately wanting more of that rooftop-hopping, Parisian magic. Sadly, no official sequel exists, but I stumbled upon something interesting: Rundell’s 'Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms' has a similarly fierce young protagonist navigating a world that feels both vast and intimate. It’s not a continuation, but it’s like meeting a Kindred spirit.
I also found myself diving into classics like 'The secret garden' for that same sense of discovery and resilience. Sometimes, the absence of a sequel makes you appreciate the original even more—it’s a standalone gem that doesn’t need expansion.
I adore Katherine Rundell's 'Rooftoppers'—it’s one of those books that feels like a warm hug with its whimsical charm and heartwarming adventure. As far as I know, there isn’t a direct sequel, but Rundell has written other equally magical books like 'The Explorer' and 'The Good Thieves,' which carry a similar spirit of daring and wonder.
If you’re craving more rooftop adventures, I’d recommend checking out 'The Wolf Wilder' by her too—it’s got that same mix of wild freedom and lyrical prose. Honestly, while I’d love to revisit Sophie and Charles, Rundell’s other works scratch that itch beautifully. Maybe one day she’ll surprise us with a follow-up!

If you’re filthy minded, step inside the doors of Dirty Angels and order a drink.
Dirty Angels is a cocktail bar where desire, power, and bad decisions collide. Everyone who walks through its doors is hiding something, and everyone wants something they shouldn’t.
The story unfolds through rotating points of view, each character given five chapters at a time to reveal the dirty business they’re involved in. Mafia deals. Billionaire secrets. Bad boys with dangerous appetites. Obsessions that refuse to stay buried. Each arc can be read on its own, but together they weave into a larger, darker story as the full truth behind Dirty Angels slowly comes into focus.
At the centre are Marisol and Ethan, locked in a volatile enemies-to-lovers dynamic neither of them is willing to name. Around them orbit lovers, rivals, and predators: a mafia ex who won’t let go, a billionaire with too much power, a shark lawyer who knows exactly where the bodies are buried, and a found family bound together by loyalty, desire, and shared secrets.
Dirty Angels attracts those who crave the forbidden. Boundaries blur. Power shifts hands. Desire takes many forms, and not everyone is looking for love.
Some will find it anyway.
Others will burn everything down on the way.
Tropes & Themes:
Enemies to lovers • MM • MMF • FF • Power dynamics • Daddy energy • Age gap (all adults) • Step-relations (adults) • BDSM themes • Obsession • Found family • Dark desire
Man, I wish there were more 'Bouncers' content! That manga had such a gritty, raw energy that really stuck with me. From what I've dug up over the years, there hasn't been an official sequel or spin-off, which is a shame because the underground fight club vibe had so much potential for expansion. The artist, Kouji Shinasaka, hasn't revisited it either—his later works like 'Wolf Guy' went in a supernatural direction instead.
That said, if you loved 'Bouncers', you might enjoy 'Holyland' or 'Shamo'. They hit similar notes with their intense hand-to-hand combat and psychological depth. Sometimes, the lack of sequels makes a series feel more special, though. 'Bouncers' ended on its own terms, and maybe that’s for the best—like a knockout punch that leaves you wanting just one more round.
Honestly, 'Hilltop House' has such a unique vibe—it's one of those stories that sticks with you. From what I've gathered, there isn't an official sequel, but the author left so many intriguing threads that fans have spun tons of theories and even written unofficial continuations. Some forums dive deep into alternate endings or expanded lore, which kinda feels like hidden gems if you loved the original. I stumbled upon a fanfic once that nailed the atmospheric tension of the house, almost like it could’ve been canon.
That said, the lack of a sequel might be a good thing? Sometimes leaving things open-ended lets the mystery linger in the best way. I’ve reread 'Hilltop House' a few times, and each visit uncovers something new—like how the house itself feels like a character. Maybe some stories are meant to stand alone, even if we crave more.
