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

Rina Kent – Legacy of Gods Series Reading Order

MAFIA PRINCES/DARK READ ALERT & BOOK #3 JUST WENT LIVE!! Each one can be read as a standalone. 😀

Holly: I read the first 2 books last week! It’s a crazy series but I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to getting stuck into the next one

About book #1:

I caught the attention of a monster.
I didn’t ask for it.
Didn’t even see it coming.
But the moment I do, it’s too late.
Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.
He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.
The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.
I do.
And that will cost me everything.
I run, but the thing about monsters?
They always chase. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the ballerina that is abducted after seeing a crime, and her dance partner purposely dropped & injured her…

By 4 Comments

Nada is looking for this book! Hrmmm… interesting!! I know of a few “ballerina” heroine books that had a dark romance feel (I’m thinking of Skye Warren maybe?) but hopefully someone knows for sure!

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I’m going crazy trying to find a book I read. I don’t remember the title.

What I do remember is the main female character is a ballerina who witnesses a murder in a garage after rehearsal or a show. I think she gets abducted right away and forced to stay with the main Male character. read more

About book #1:

She tries to escape. She tries to reason with me. And then she tries to change the rules. But this is my game, and I won’t be played. I own her now…

Three years ago, I let down my guard, and I paid the ultimate price when the woman I loved was murdered right in front of my eyes. 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
