My Top Ten Dark Reads

By 94 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

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?

By 5 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

By 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

Cynthia needs our book help! And actually the first book that came to mind was from one of my FAVORITE authors, but I read it so long ago, I can’t remember the details towards the end of the book (and now it’s a series). I do remember the the first part and it pretty much matches Cynthia’s description.

She asks:

Hi I was wondering if you could help me figure out the name of a book that I read several years back? I’m pretty sure I found the book on your website. I like to read a lot of books you recommend 🙂 read more

Reader Recommendations – Our Favorite Steamy Dark Romance with Strong Heroines…

By 8 Comments

Tanishka has a specific DARKER ROMANCE request… and it’s specifically about the heroine. Any recommendations for her?

She asks:

Hey guys,
I need new boookks. I am out of every single one that matches my taste and you guys are my very last resort. I am looking for something along the lines of a dark romance,

NO SUBMISSIVE GIRLS, preferably a reverse harem (it’s ok if it isn’t) and which has extremely graphic, steamy scenes.

Guys, I’m about to lose my mind here without a book, so please help a friend out 🙂 read more
