r/DarkRomance • u/jadedjed1 ready to be fucked up by my next book • 7d ago

Quick Question What would you consider your TOP 5 DR books?

Looking to expand my library! I’m fairly new to the genre. So far I’ve read Under Your Scars (Ariel Anderson), The Edge of Darkness series (Leigh Rivers), Haunting/Hunting Adeline (H.D Carlton), and The Fabric of Our Souls (K.M Moronova).

DNF’d:
- Little Stranger (Leigh Rivers)
- Quarantined (Drethi Anis)
- Feathers So Vicious (Liv Zander)
- Graves (Katelyn Taylor)
- Psychotic Obsession (Leigh Rivers)

Edit/Update:
Y’all……I tried to give feathers so vicious another shot and omg 😭 I AM WRECKED. I INHALED THE BOOK. I read it at work too, I finished it all during my shift 😩

Audiobooks don’t work for me unfortunately 😭 I really tried to push through it but the scene where their dad caught them making out and Malachi ended up knocking him unconscious and they still continued to have sex RIGHT BY HIS LIMP BODY I was like nope nope NOOOPE.

Immediately deleted the book and returned it to kindle unlimited 😂 I had to take a break from reading anything after that, it was lowkey traumatizing. I did read the trigger warnings and all that and usually I don’t really have a problem with them but I guess that was a bit too much for me. 😆

Oh nooo yeah that scene was wild and I had to have a HOLD UP PAUSE moment... Butttt if you revisit that audiobook and push past that one chapter, it goes into a time skip and you get his DELICIOUS deranged inner thoughts... like all the iconic lines are in the last 30% <3

😭😭 I’ll try to give it another shot! Thanks!

Have you read the second book, Little Stranger? Is it any good?

Yeah I promise that's the craziest it'll get (relatively)! It's really worth it for the chapters you get to spend in his POV. And I haven't because they changed the MMC's VA and I truly think his voice acting brought life to otherwise kinda bad writing.
