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

<— BOOK FOG ALERT!!!! I just received the most amazing recommendation and had to post this awesome sounding duet!!

Michelle LOVED IT!

Hi, Maryse! 😊

I have been following your blook blog since I was in high school (so almost 10-ish years now), and there’s always a bit of nostalgia every time I check back in to see what reads you have to recommend.

There’s a bit of ebb and flow when it comes to making time for new reads. I finally picked up a book in what feels like forever, and my goodness, do I have a recommendation for you. read more

Reader Recommendations – Barbaric suspenseful thrillers and super dark reads (maybe even with revenge)…

By 3 Comments

Who’s in the mood for some seriously dark “dark reads”? Maybe with some love stories mixed in (<— notice I did not say “romance” – cause that’s an entirely different genre) but, you know… some really messed up stuff in the process. 🙂

Sonia asked for some recommendations, “in the spirit of Halloween”, but come on. We know we read these all year long. Tee hee!

Sonia asked:

Hi guys,

Today I’m here for a thriller request. Something dark, barbaric, morbid. read more

By 1 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

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.

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
