Love you can start devil’s night series by Penelope Douglas, I really liked the series especially Kill Switch!

My 2025 favorite was Bad Bishop by LJ Shen
The slaycation series by Lauren Biel is dark rom-com but crazy af, highly recommend anything by Lauren Biel, she’s awesomely twisted lol
The Ever After series by Emily Mcintire is great also.

read dead of summer, trust🤌

My current read is haunting Adeline by H.D Carlton and I’m really enjoying it so far.

It’s a stalker romance, quite dark, TW before the Prologue 🫶🏻
Mentally prepare yourself a little bit though 😂

SERIOUSLY PLS READ LOLA KING UNIVERSE!!!! roses duet by lola king following the north shore series by lola king and ending off with the falls university series by lola king. SO GOOD also i really loved the hollow boys series by monty jay but lola kings dark romance books are my favorite

pageant duology by lilith vincent!! one of the best dr rh ive ever read ngl.

the edge of darkness trilogy, gothikana, nocticadia, dancing with the devil (cassie lynn), NEVA ALTAJ’s books, devil mine, love in the dark, MONSTER TRILOGY and the ritual. lol i tried to give as many as i can!! hopefully u enjoy them(if u end up reading them) 🖤🖤

North Shore series by Lola King! Book 1 and 2 are 5⭐ reads

Ok, so after much reading I learned I specifically enjoy dark romcoms. I feel like these are super obvious reccs, but if you haven’t read NAVESSA Allen or Brynne Weaver, start there! Immaculate banter with interesting morally grey characters, gore and depravity, plus superb spice 😬

You neeeed to read Heir of Illusion by Madeline Taylor! It’s fantasy, rivals to lovers, the plot and the setting are the amazing but OH MY GOD the fmc is soooo badass she gives Celaena Sardothien to a TTT and the mmc? Nom nom. Also the banter they have with each other is one of the best I have EVER read!!!

Try Dark verse series by Runyx

Dark verse series by runyx.
perfectly imperfect series by Neva altaj.
The edge of darkness series by leigh rivers.
Bratva series by T.J Maguire.
Sinners anonymous by Somme Sketcher .

anything by lola king (my faves are rose's duet, lawless god & loving the liar)
singed series by mia knight
dance of thorns by jagger cole
souls in ruin if youre in the mood for dark fantasy
spearcrest devil by aurora reed

i have read those hehe, thank yu tho!! have funn

SINNERS ANONYMOUS BY SOMME SKETCHER.

My advise: I really didn’t like the first book, but girl, the other two?
Sinners condemned & Sinners consumed are my favorite dark romance. It’s also centered around mafia - and the reason I would skip the first book is because of how cringey it was. The fmc would also curse in bird puns which was unbearable and there was some cringey dialogue. BUTTT the other two books (which is a duet) won’t leave you disappointed!! RAFE & PENNY are one of my favorite couples !! 💕

Okay so I'm not 100% sure if you're gonna like this, but from what I know, we have similar book taste. My rec is Brutal Obsession by S. Massery. It's a dark hockey bully romance, but her books are almost never a 4 star for me, but I hope you enjoy it!

I READ IT LOVED IT

I recommend you Rachel kramer bussel books, it’s more erotica than dark romance

Read the Empire series by KL Mann. Found family, Mafia, AMAZING romance (the second book is my favorite)

PLEASE READ THE MADDEST OBSESSION BY DANIELLE LORI. CHRISTIAN ALLISTAIR, I WILL NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!


AHHH! Rafe and Penny!!! Love them! Have you read “The Maddest Obsession”?

I recommend checking out the books by K.P. Haven and M.B. Smith

I loved the wicked villain series by Katee Robert, it’s Disney retelling dark romance, sometimes poly, everyone in the polycule is together and happy to be. The characters are flawed and unapologetic to be. I definitely recommend if you are interested

the hollow boys series by monty jay and the perfectly imperfect series by neva altaj! <3
