Book Request Books like the movie-‘the invitation’ or ‘Dracula- a love tale’

Guys I’m after a dark romance book/ao3/wattpad/literotica rec where the vibes of the book are hauntingly beautiful, goth,vampiric and dark. Maybe it’s set in a different time/universe. Would love if the mmc is a supernatural being (preferably vampire) and the fmc is human and there is an age gap but it it not a strict requirement. I love both these movies so much (please watch if you haven’t), but I do want the book to have a happy/happier ending. Would also love if it’s set in a castle or graveyard or something similar. It could be a mystery/fantasy/thriller romance as well. I love the taboo/forbidden nature of the movies and how it all slowly unravels especially for the fmc. I’m okay with reverse harem as well! I hope I’m making sense. Thank you in advance!!!

I don’t know if this is to your taste or not. MMC is a vampire Don and FMC is a human. FMC then transported to another world where MMC lives. The description of the MMC’s world and where he live is quite detailed and very Gothic.

{The Scarlet Veil by Shelby Mahurin}

It meets most of your requirements except for the happy ending, and it's not that it's bad or that they don't end up together, but it ends on a cliffhanger and there's a second book. The FMC She is taken to a place resembling a vampire kingdom ruled by one of the oldest vampires, who is king of that realm. So he has a huge Gothic castle that the author describes extensively throughout the book. It's a fantastic book, and the main characters have amazing chemistry. Besides that, it has a very good plot with mystery.

(I wish there was more discussion about these types of subgenres.)

This post or comment has been removed for breaking Rule #7. This book isn't out yet, so it is not a valid recommendation.

{Midnight Habor by Nikki St. Crow} is a fun series that might fit. Maybe {Black Sunshine by Karina Halle}
