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


message 2: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Southern 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.


message 3: by karouzaa ۶ৎ (new)

karouzaa ۶ৎ read dead of summer, trust🤌


Gee🌸🩷 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 😂

message 8: by Bri (new)

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


message 9: by Enigmeg (new)

Enigmeg 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 😬


🌝 Delululand 🌝 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!!!

Annie ˖ ࣪✦: * ˚ ✦ 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 !! 💕


hend ⊹₊⟡⋆ 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!

message 37: by isis ✦ (new)

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


⋆ ˚。⋆୨ Jinx Reads ୧⋆ ˚。⋆ 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
