Well if you need a good dark romance for V-Day this anthology has you covered. A Definite Must Read!
Each author in this anthology brings either stalker or killer vibes in this one. They do an amazing job pulling you into this dark chaotic world revolving around Valentine’s Day. It's dark, twisted, and full of surprises.

This story is intriguing since you have not one but two stalkers following the same woman. You know one but the other is a mystery and it ends on a cliffhanger with a ton of questions surrounding what just happened. If you like a dominant possessive stalker who also wants to protect his woman you will love this one. Also you get the unhinged and crazy stalker whose identity is mystery. It's got some spice with the creep factor in this one.

This story might not be that long but it gives you an ending. If you like a mystery involving a stalker/killer that left one survivor to fight her way to finding the truth then you will definitely love this one. There are a few twists that keep you guessing until the crazy end. This one is a low spice but crazy storyline to keep you guessing.

This story is longer and has a dark and ominous feel to it with the main character wanting to end her life. But finding herself in this unexpected situation with what she refers to as "the gentleman" and his servants who are there to do what he asks of them. It's heavy on the dark, bdsm, D/s, and it ends on a cliffhanger also. This story was dark and has a touch of unworldly feel to it as you read. Prepare for a lot of dark spice in this one.

This story was intriguing from the start you get to watch two people become intertwined by the end. You have the villain looking to let the heroine know she's just like him with her mask she wears for societal purposes. It's dark and suspenseful with some humor mixed in. It has spice and suspense mixed into it giving you all the starker vibes you love.

This might be the shortest story but man did it pack a punch from the start. You get all the dark creepy stalker vibes with the unhinged maniac feels. The female is one you sympathize with as her Valentine’s Day gifts are a bloody organ each year. This one does have an ending and it's one you don't see coming. It was definitely one of my favorites even with it being short it pulled me in and left me wanting more.

Prepare to get all the suspenseful creepy vibes with this one and some seriously spicy moments. It's one of my favorites with the intensity and epic cliffhanger.

Im reviewing 1 Viewer by KC Borders and SA Michelle. I struggle with anthologies because I always want more! This story gripped me right from the start. There’s a lot that happens in such a short read. I love the dynamics between Xavier and Isobella. I need to know more about Beast because he’s a bit frightening.
If you enjoy a good stalker romance then you need to check this one out. I can’t wait for more of this story!!!

Seven stories of stalkers and killers....
My Bloody Valentine brings you seven story’s, from eight authors, all dark romance with stalker and or killer themes. Perfect way to get a feel of these amazing authors writing style. Some are finished stories, and some will leave you wanting more, promising to come out soon as a full-length book.
Jennifer Roses Done Waiting contribution to the Anthology will be a book coming out in May 2023. If this is your first time reading one of her books you are in for an amazing taste of her style. This story will take you on quite the ride of suspense, sex and stalker feels. I promise you will be on the edge of your seat on this coaster, and just when you think you have it all figured out a twist takes you in another direction, and you go down, then up and through another big loop only to discover you have to wait till May to continue the ride.
We are introduced to Madison on the day of her Father's funeral. She is lost without the man who has always been her biggest supporter and truly the closest person to her. The other most important people in her life, her mother, her best friend Chloe, and her boyfriend Ben all prove they are not truly there for her and all seam to have dark secrets of their own.
The worst day of Madison’s life, burying her father, she starts to get the feeling of being watched. While she shakes it off she can’t get rid of this feeling, which is proven true when the stalker shows him self to her from a distance. Instead of Madison being fearful of the stalker she is strangely attracted to him and can not stop staring at him from her window. The thing is Madison should be afraid of someone following and watching her, especially because young girls in her town with her same hair color, eye color, age range are disappearing and turning up dead. Strangely not once does Maddison correlate the man stalking her to the killer.
In her defense she has a lot going on, a mother who is a police detective but not at all worried about her own daughter fitting the killer's profile. As well as not physically or emotionally there for her though the tragic loss of Madison’s father and her husband. Then again there is absolutely a glimpse of her mother possibly having some big secrets.
Madison is also starting to realize her boyfriend Ben and her best friend Chloe have some secrets of their own. They are starting to get a little too close to one another and spending a lot of time together alone. Is there a little more going on, like Ben is cheating on her with her best friend?
Now throw in Ben is starting to show her some red flag behavior like more aggressive, possessive, controlling behavior in and out of the bedroom. He is not sharing important things in his life going on with her but instead sharing them with Chloe and that alone is a bit much for any girlfriend to watch go down.
Madison also has a Stalker who has shown him self to her several times and add possibly a killer, making threats to her, will she be the killer’s next victim? Is her stalker the person that is also killing young girls that look like her? Or is the killer not her stalker but someone else she may know?
There’s just so so so much more to this story but what fun would it be for me to spill all the tea?
This story is going to be one that you are wishing time would fly and May came sooner, so you can get your hands on the rest of the book and know what is everyone hiding? Why is this town so corrupt? Who is all involved in the corruption? Most importantly is Madison’s stalker, who she may be falling for, the true killer or is it some one else close to her? I know I can't wait till May to see if all my theories are true.

I love romance with suspense, twists, and turns.
Serial killers and stalkers. My new favorite trope.
Some of these authors are new to me and I can not
Wait to start reading more of their work!
The one that really got me was Done Waiting my Jennifer Rose. -it ends with a cliffhanger before the full novel comes out in May, so beware. But OMG… I hate cliffhangers, but the way she wrote it has me wishing it was May already because I don’t think I can wait that long to finish and see what happens. She has such a way with her writing that leaves me wanting more and more.

Isabella has a stalker and he's close. But she doesn't know it. She works for Xavier and he's so hot, she daydreams even while at work. He is so into her that he also daydreams. And those dreams are steamy and intense.
So our authors surround their reader with disturbing plot twists, steam, terror, more steam, angst and so much more. The writing flows smoothly so I couldn't tell who wrote what. Character development and world building is amazing. Be sure to read the triggers. There is a cliffhanger and it's a doozy.

I read the part of 1 Viewer (Twisted Love series#1) by K.C. Borders and S.A. Michelle.
From the first page, this book dragged me in.
This story does not only contain 1 mystery stalker but 2.
I really need more, this ended on a cliffhanger and now I have tons of questions about the left it.
We get a possessive stalker who would do all he can to protect his love and then there is the really crazy stalker who we do not know yet.
I loved the spice factor with this short story.

★★★.5/5
-This was a good piece. It had protentional to be really good. I definately didnt guess who the stalker was but I also felt that it was given to us out of left field. It could have been done way smoother.
2.You Lie by Andi Herrera Grant
★★★★/5
-I loved this one. Everything was really amazing about it. I loved the imagery. I just didnt like the ending. That really made me give it one star less. I just needed a little bit more, unless it was going to be a full story but it was written as a short piece.
3. The Blood Angel by Tia Fanning
-I skipped this one due to Trigger Warnings and Content Warnings
4. Just Like Me by N Tetterton
★★★/5
- I felt this piece was very rough. It had its good parts but it also had its weird parts. I think I just needed a little bit more character development from the fmc as I couldn't see her side of the "bad" and how she was just like the mmc. And that ending wasn't something I was a fan of either.
5.Heartbreak by January Rayne
★★★/5
=I honestly was okay with this one, but I wish I could have seen more from the FMC. I just felt like we didnt get to see her side of dark enough.
6. Done Waiting by Jennifer Rose

-I enjoyed this one. It was nice and dark. Hated the cliffhanger.
7. Heart of a Killer by Viola Temptest
