My Top Ten Dark Reads

July 6, 2013 By Maryse 95 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

Dylan Page – The Bleeding Hearts Series Reading Order

June 7, 2021 By Maryse 3 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…

May 27, 2021 By Maryse 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

Reader Question… Solved! The book where she falls in love with him, she can’t leave their house, and he murders women…

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

Reader Question – When will Blaire 3 by Anita Gray be released?

October 21, 2020 By Maryse 6 Comments

A new Maryse’s Book Blog reader question for us to solve! And I think I did… sort of. 😉

Shaleen (and apparently many others) are anxiously awaiting book #3 in this dark read series. I hadn’t heard of yet, but now I have. HOLY MOLY. So I did some research…

She asks:

Hello Maryse

I hope you are well.

I wait for your blog post everyday. It’s become a place where I can express my feelings about books freely. Thank you for that. :)…

I was wondering if you know anything about when Blaire 3 by Anita Gray will release. I have searched Google but it’s still old stuff. read more

Anita Gray – Blaire (The Dark Romance Series) Reading Order – Maryse’s Book Blog

October 21, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

DARK READ/DARK ROMANCE ALERT!! This series was brought to my attention when Shaleen asked a reader question about when book #3 would be released. I found the answer (well pretty much) 😉 AND I went down a “Blaire” rabbit hole reading all of the enthusiastic reader comments PLUS finding out there’s an entire spinoff series for it.

“Bought. Conditioned. Sold to the enemy.

…You’re going to need a strong stomach and a strong heart to follow my story, because take my word for it, it’s no fairy tale.” read more

Hells grave by Ivy archer! I’m on the 4th book and I love this series !

Finishing up Travis by Mia Sheridan and loving every page!

Dark Waters (Flame and Blade 3) by Meredith Hart. A swoon worthy fantasy romance series with well-written and unique characters. September is too long to wait for the final book.

Reading the final book of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhubters series, “City of Heavenly Fire’. It is amazingly good!

Bessa on Radish by Rachelle Mills (whiskeyqueen). Bessa and Borson are put to the test. Bessa can’t forget his betrayals and Borson has a mountain of redemption to climb but he does it step by step through the mud and the tears. Love it, I have read and reread it so many times 😍.

I just finished Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate...so well-written and so heart-wrenching. I'm now reading The Invitation by Vi Keeland.

I just finished The Poison Thread. It was fantastic Gothic horror

Hi Maryse, love your blog and book recommendations!! Can you suggest any amazing alpha historical, bodyguard or any epic alpha Lead books? Adore Kristen Ashley (of course) Thanks 🙏🏻 in advance xx

I'm on the 3rd book of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Queen of the Damned.I am loving it so far. The movie was awesome but not in comparison to the book. In comparison, the movie butchered this story.

I am reading 'the thirst of a lessor God' by Rachelle Mills on radish. It is a must read for women I think. It is so right I tell you. The emotions are so intense that you would find yourself drowning in them!!!

Zodiac Academy Shadow Princess I am struggling. I mean, struggling. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am so far into the series, I would just stop. Frustrating!

I'm rereading Silver Silence by Nalini Singh.. And it's fantastic.. Not my favorite of her Psy-Changeling series but it's still a great book!

Red Thorns by Rina Kent ... A dark story but so far it's great! 🔥

That time I forgot what I was reading...OH its an Agatha Raisin book. Vicious Vet maybe? It fulfills my medical professional category for the library reading challenge. It makes me laugh

Currently reading BB Easton's Suit and I just got to tell you that I'm loving these individual books off these 4 men and I'm still crying my eyes out and have a lump in my chest because of the first one. So so so goooood!👌

This is one that has become my comfort read even though it's far from a light, feel good one. "Fin's Claim" by Rachelle Mills on Wattpad. Such an intense ride packed with emotion, a unique writing style and a super satisfying ending. Another one of hers that i keep coming back to is "His Alpha" on Amazon

I am still catching up on Brie's Submission series and carrying on with the True Blood Books and A Discovery of Witches!

"People of Color Destroy Scifi."It's an Anthology of short stories put out by Lightspeed magazine I heard about on Geeks Guide to the Galaxy Podcast. I liked it so much I bought three copies and mailed it my friends so we can chat about our favorites.

Dream little dream by suzanna Philips re-reading. I started with Carry the world from ur blog . Ur my guidance

Currently reading Odin’s prize by Rachelle Mills This is my comfort read. Actually all the books from the tribute series is my comfort read.

I am rereading the Song of Fire and Ice series 🔥🧊 🐉

The Good Lie is awesome!! (By AR Torre)

Thirst of a Lesser God by Rachelle Mills on Radish is a brilliant read!

Dark jewels series by Anne Bishop - amazing!

Just finished re-reading Loved By Liam by Melanie Moreland and started Lady Brazen by Scarlett Scott

FANTASY ROMANCE!! AMY HARMON ALERT! NO DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN BORN IN YEARS

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #fantasyromance

“…An insidious curse is weakening the Norse kingdom of Saylok, where no daughters have been born in years. Washing up on these plagued shores is Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy.

To Ghisla, he’s a cherished new friend, but to Hod, the girl is much more. For when Ghisla sings, Hod can see. Unable to offer safe shelter, Hod urges Ghisla onward to become a daughter of the temple, where all the kingdom’s girl children have been gathered.

But because of a magical rune, the two cannot be separated, no matter the time or the distance…”
