Dark Romance and Dark Reads
My favorite darker reads with obsession, danger, morally questionable characters, and relationships that are definitely not your typical romance. These are the books that kept me hooked and earned a permanent spot on my shelves.
One of the best dark romances I’ve ever read. Zade is the definition of a morally black MMC—obsessive, possessive, dangerous, and somehow impossible not to love. The stalker/predator-and-prey dynamic had me HOOKED, and the chemistry between Zade and ...
Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton
This book emotionally WRECKED me. It is significantly darker and harder to read than Haunting Adeline, and there were parts of Adeline's story where I genuinely had to put the book in timeout and walk away for a while. But once I picked it back up, I...
Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
Sibby is absolutely fucking unhinged and I loved every second of it. This is a short, twisted, disturbing little ride that gets progressively more WTF as you realize there is WAY more going on with Sibby than you originally thought. She's chaotic, vi...
Satan's Affair
I absolutely loved this one, especially reading it after Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline. Molly’s story is heartbreaking and fucked up, but watching her build a life after everything she survived made this feel completely different from the duet...
Where's Molly: Carlton, H. D.
I wanted to love this one because I love the Cat & Mouse world, but this was a DNF for me. The romance felt much slower than the other books in the series, and it just wasn’t keeping me interested enough to finish. I can definitely see someone wh...
Phantom (Audible Audio Edition): H. D. Carlton ...
I haven’t even finished this one yet and it’s already earned a permanent spot on my shelf. 😂 I’m loving it so far and it hooked me enough that I already know I’m keeping it. I’ll update this once I finish, but so far this is absolutely my kind of bo...
Once You're Mine: A Dark Stalker Romance
Romance & Emotional Reads
Romance and emotional reads that don’t quite fit my dark romance section but still kept me invested. These are the ones that made me feel something, surprised me, or stuck with me after I finished.
A really sweet and emotional story, just much slower than the books I normally love. I really liked the story itself and the relationships that develop throughout it, and the ending was genuinely beautiful. There are definitely some heartbreaking mom...
Book Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
I almost underestimated this book because it starts pretty slow, but HOLY SHIT that ending. It took me a while to really get into the story, but around halfway through it started picking up and by the end I was completely invested. Then the plot twis...
