Looking for books that are similar to Raw by Belle Aurora

[Tana]

Really liked the book Raw so if anyone knows a book like it please let me know thanks

What excactly do you mean by "like it"? Just dark? Revenge theme? Questionable end?

I'd say any Pepper Winters book are great, I especially liked Destroyed, but her Monsters in the dark series is very popular...

[Tana]

I liked how it was dark but he still ended up falling in love with the girl, I also love how really possessive the lead male is

[Nela]

Well, in that case you might like DestroyeA Husband's Regretd as I posted before... Maybe you would like even Consequences series from Aleatha Romig (at the beggining the hero is an asshole with a capital A) - actually anything by Aleatha Romig is a gem :) or Monster - that one is not really dark, but majority of the book is not really about romantic love.. Another darker read is for example Overwhelmed by You by Nashoda Rose or Condemned series by Gemma James (but the third book is supposed to by released at the end of April) - it's dark, with revenge theme...

With similar cover is Mr. X - again, revenge, twisted hero and broken heroine...as well as Vanquish

Interesting is Eluded, really twisted and dark...

Ella James has great Beast, Part One Beast series - she is inspired by fairytales, this one with beaty and the beast, but it's just an inspiration ;) - he is really possessive of heroine and the story line is quite unusual.

Oh and Empathy, nothing like sociopath falling in love :D...

And Run, a little dystopia, but it I really liked it, twisted hero, great heroine..

Really twisted read was His by Aubrey Dark.

Totally different (not dark) is The Unwanted Wife and A Husband's Regret by Natasha Anders - both with husbands that are real jerks toward their wifes (it's not dark, but they are alpha and at the beggining behave really horribly).

SPOILER (view spoiler)[All books end with HEA or at least HFN as far as I know (hide spoiler)]

I hope you choose something :)

[Tana]

Awesome I'll check them all out thanks so much I love it and you're hilarious on your details

[Tana]

What about books that would be similar to Fear Me by BB Reid? I mean sheesh there's nothing like a man telling a woman she is theirs lol but I love it!! And he was horrible to her but he loved her in his way the whole time even though he said he hated her

[Nela]

Well I haven't read that one, but I'd say that the aforementioned Condemned series beginning with Torrent by Gemma James is the closest to that - this is not a real spoiler, you discover that really quickly during reading, but just to be sure (view spoiler)[(the hero was sent in jail because heroine accused him of raping her while they both were teenagers, now he's been released and wants a revenge in the form of sexual torture, he is obssessed with her, well so was she with him) (hide spoiler)]

Otherwise those are all the books I could think of that would somehow might be relevant :)

I forgot about Sociopath, another sociopath going against his nature and "falls in love" (Empathy I mentioned earlier is by my opinion a little better with the psycho characters and definitely more twisted, but it's still good and interesting) :)

[Nela]

I'd really recommend Pepper Winter books I mentioned in my first response, Destroyed is by her standards more of a "gray" read than dark (still really twisted). I'm reading her Indebted series now, they are not finished and quite disturbing, but she is an amazing writer.

I see I used word "twisted" a lot, but I cannot help it, these themes tend to be twisted :D

[Tana]

Oh snap well you should read it I really liked it but ppl would prolly think I was crazy for liking it

[Nela]

It has good ratings, you probably aren't the only one who liked it :) The most twisted book I've read was Her Master's Courtesan - that one is the real kick in the nuts :D Liked it anyway... But when I read something darker it's always after reading a lot of lighter/funny/classic rom books in preparation...

Raw was kind of a mindf**k, at the end I was really angry and frustrated - generally I can appriciate these types of ending, but I want my stories to end clearly a plainly :D

[Tana]

Exactly!! Hopefully a book is coming out with their HEA he needs to be there for his boy surely it won't just end like that!!

[Nela]

I don't know, I would love that and I'm sure Belle Aurora was under a lot of pressure to make sure that they end up together, her other books have normal HEA... but I don't know, maybe this one is supposed to be different...

We'll see :)
