Fateful Vengeance by Marla York

Image
R ating: 4/5 Spice: 4/5 Plot: 5/5 Primary Genre: Dark Romance Blurb:  Control, pain, and sorrow are all I’ve ever known. When something inside me snaps one night after too many cracks in my soul, I take matters into my own hands. Freedom was supposed to taste sweet, not leave a sour pit in my stomach. When a nightmare from my past resurfaces. My deceased boyfriend’s father helps remove the root of all my problems. Let the scars serve as a testament—my vengeance will be absolute, and my abusers will pay. My Thoughts: Marla York never fails to be a hit with me. This book gave Lauren Biel vibes but not quite so crazy or intense. If you’re a fan of Lauren Biel, you’ll probably enjoy this book. If you’re not a fan of Lauren Biel, this is still an entirely different style from hers and it’s great. This is the ultimate revenge from an abuser book. It’s got a great twisted storyline. It’s short and anything but sweet, dark and messy taboo romance. I loved the unexpected turns that the p...

Behind the Shadows by J.A. Owenby

Rating: 4/5 Spice: 4/5 Plot: 5/5 Primary Genre: Dark Romance Blurb:  Some of us were born into darkness. Others were shackled. They drugged me. Chained me. Tore apart my mind until the pieces didn’t fit anymore. Then they gave me a name. Cleaner. K!ller. Son. Monster. Told me the blood on my hands was hers. Then they smiled and made me k!ll again. And they told me she never existed. But I’ve seen her. In dreams. In flashes of red hair and blood. And now she’s real—flesh and bone and terrified eyes. But they made one mistake. They didn’t bury her deep enough. Now she’s back. And even if she doesn’t remember me—My obsession remembers everything. She runs. I follow. She screams. I savor it. She looks at me like a stranger. And I try not to laugh. Because I know her body better than she does. I’ve watched her sleep. Touched her skin. Marked her without mercy. And now that I’ve found her again…There’s no version of this where I let her go. You don’t have to love me, little ghost. Lo...

Beautiful Nightmare by Kinsley Kincaid

Image
  Buy on Amazon Rating: 4/5 Spice: 5/5 Plot: 5/5 Primary Genre: Dark Romance Blurb: It’s too deranged to be a dream But to one, it is beautiful. Creating fear and possessing souls. None of this is a figment of imagination. Everyone involved is very awake, even if they wish they weren’t. With beating hearts and trembling lips, tranquility no longer exists. Because tonight, nightmares become real. Welcome to Agatha Manor, in Hollows Grove. This is a paranormal thriller which ends in a HEA. My Thoughts: This book is just in time for Halloween because it’s creepy and scary AF. The romance element is dark, tortuous and twisted. Check the trigger warnings before picking this one up because as usual, Kinsley is not for the faint of heart. There’s a VAMPIRE love interest in this book so if that’s your thing, be prepared to be very excited and happy. I honestly am not quite sure what Prince is. A demon? Either way he’s a twisted a**hole that you’ll love to read. Our FMC Royce is dealing wit...
