items DISCLAIMER : these books aren’t for everyone. most of them lean dark romantic or dark fantasy with intense vibes and characters that stay with you. definitely not light reads and definitely not for the average reader. if you love morally gray charact...
moody gothic and weird in the way i love. it’s slow and eerie with a strange romance that feels more like obsession. not predictable at all and so easy to fall into the atmosphere. if you like haunted city vibes and characters who feel a little broke...
Nocticadia by Keri Lake
this one surprised me. it’s fast sharp and full of tension in a way that keeps you flipping pages without realizing how late it is. dragons battle school slow burn enemies to lovers and a main character who’s constantly underestimated. it’s dramatic ...

Captured by a Sinner (Sinners, #5) by Michelle Heard
this one feels a little softer than the others it also feel emotional (i literally cried) but still has that dark protective energy. he’s powerful and distant but the way he watches over her feels intense in a quiet way. it’s still a captor type stor...
