I'm looking for a word to express something that is beautiful and interesting at the same time, to use in this sentence:

Read [term] stories

Can you help me find one?

    Although this word is appropriate, it does seem a bit vague, if not slightly boring.

There's not likely any word that precisely means those two things alone, but here are a few more to add to the list that I like:

  • Enthralling
  • Spellbinding
  • Mesmerising

    Nothing wrong with the word itself, but somehow it just doesn't work in that context for me.

With respect to stories, (or companions) "enchanting" might work.

Other possibilities along the same line:

  • alluring
  • bewitching

I prefer engaging, although Mike's captivating is a pretty close synonym and also good.
