My Top Ten Dark Reads

By 96 Comments

I’ve been asked for a list like this… oh… for about a year now. Ever since I came out with my little “dark read” obsession. What a relief it was to find out I wasn’t alone in my weird thrill.

Dena: any chance you will put together a list of “dark” reads on your blog?

Alicia: She has dark reads…how dark do you wanna go? She’s got the BDSM dark, but if you want darker, there’s a few out there that aren’t on here.

Dena: I loved her recommendation for the captive in the dark series, Comfort Food, etc.. read more

By Leave a Comment

DARK REVERSE HAREM/BULLY ROMANCE ALERT!! I just learned about it today when asking what everyone was reading, and it looks like a few in our crew LOVE this one!

Lisa: I just finished reading an ARC of Lords of Mercy, which is the third book in Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue‘s Dark RH romance series. This series is difficult to put down and is dark, twisty, and has all kinds of things that will keep you on your toes.

Heed the trigger warnings though, as these books can be rough on people. read more

C.M. STUNICH ALERT!!! IT’S A LOVE-HATE HIGH SCHOOL SERIES & I’m in love with these book covers (and the series name!!), and Cathy loves this series!

Cathy: I’m anxiously awaiting CM Stunich’s next book in The Lost Daughter of a Serial Killer series. Books 1 and 2 had me riveted. Book 3 is scheduled for release in December.

Maryse: OMG I’m in LOVE with those covers. Thank you for letting us know about this one, Cathy!!

So what’s it about?

Finding out you’re the daughter of a millionaire true crime novelist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
When I was two, I was kidnapped. Kidnapped by a loving family, sure, but still kidnapped.
Now, my biological mom wants me to live with her on the opposite side of the country. read more

Dylan Page – The Bleeding Hearts Series Reading Order

By 4 Comments

DARK/TABOO/AGE GAP/FORBIDDEN ROMANCE BIKER SERIES ALERT!! Book #2 (the duet conclusion!!) just recently went live and I’ve received a few recommendations for it. HOLY MOLY this sounds crazy! 😳😬

Jodie: I have just finished the conclusion (it has just released) to an amazing duet that I would highly recommend. It’s Torment by Dylan Page. It definitely has all the ‘feels’. I have a major book hangover now.

Carie: I am reading book 2 now and I don’t even have appropriate words to describe what in the heck I have just read😳😳 It is crazy good but will leave you screaming cuss words- did this just happen!?!?!? read more

Reader Question – The revenge book about the Hero that marries her to trap her because he thinks her brother killed his sister…

By 4 Comments

Zolo is looking for this one! Ohhhhhh this one sounds dark and bully-ish, and Zolo is VERY angry at that book!

She asks:

Hi guys,

I need help finding a book (just so I can give it a worse rating).

It’s about a married couple but the hero hates his wife because he thought her brother killed his sister with the help of the wife.

He only marries her to trap her and abuses her. Even his entire family, especially his mother is involved in this.

She gets pregnant but after the baby is born, he sends her to prison. read more

Time for another Maryse’s Book Blog Reader Question! Cindy is looking for this book…

AND OMG this one sounds crazy, and kind of scary (or maybe A LOT scary). Psych-thriller? Dark read? Dark romance? Scary stalker? Horror? All of the above? Yes please!

She asks:

Looking for a book I read several years ago.

I might have several books merging into one in my brain, but I think someone will be able to come up with it.

The h falls for the H and lives with him (he may have kidnapped her, or for whatever reasons does not let her leave the house)….. read more
