I decided to read this book after seeing it pop up in several book-related posts on FaceBook and BookTok. If you’ve been following my reviews for a while, you know I gravitate toward the Fantasy genre, often, so this book piqued my interest. I knew nothing about the book other than it was a darkContinue reading “Book Review: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith”

What I’ve Been Reading…
Crisp nights, colorful leaves, and magical sunsets! I love Autumn. It’s my favorite time of year. Perfect for snuggling up and reading! I said I would post about the dark romance books I’ve been reading lately. Below are some snack-sized reviews that you will hopefully find intriguing enough for you to read the books yourselfContinue reading “What I’ve Been Reading…”
Book Review: The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe
This series has been a trip. Despite it violently thrusting me out of my comfort zone (not entirely a bad thing) and exposing me to reverse harem dark romance (not my thing, I’ve discovered), I have grown to adore St. Crowe’s version of Neverland, the Peter Pan story, and characters that are dark and twisty,Continue reading “Book Review: The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe
After the third book in this series, I am no longer clutching my pearls, but I can confidently say that I prefer a committed, two-person romantic relationship. It doesn’t matter how dark of a romance, as long as it’s between two consenting adults…not like 5 consenting adults. I guess that makes me old-fashioned or somethingContinue reading “Book Review: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe
Shadows and pirates and fairies — Oh My! The Dark One is the second book in Nikki St. Crowe’s Vicious Lost Boys series and I am so glad I didn’t let book one (The Never King) turn me away from it. This book, while still full of debauchery, has an enemies-to-lovers vibe that I can’tContinue reading “Book Review: The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe
I picked up this book with extremely high expectations. Who doesn’t love a good re-imagining or twist on something familiar? The Never King spins the familiar story of Peter Pan, Neverland, and Captain Hook into a dark, debauched romance with magic and menace. If you are not a fan of reverse harem stories (which IContinue reading “Book Review: The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
I see this book recommended everywhere, and since I’ve been on a bit of a dark romance kick lately, it was an obvious choice to read. I had no preconceptions before I read it so I was delightfully ignorant about what I was getting myself into. Imagine if you can, the deliciously dark almost tabooContinue reading “Book Review: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver”
Book Review: Crossed by Emily McIntire
I wanted to love this book, having enjoyed the others in this series as much as I have. I don’t know if I was in a weird place while reading it or if I didn’t manage my expectations correctly, but I was a bit disappointed. I will say that overall, it wasn’t a bad story.Continue reading “Book Review: Crossed by Emily McIntire”
Book Review: Twisted by Emily McIntire
If I had to choose, my favorite romance trope is enemies to lovers. There is something so visceral about the connection that builds between two people who start off hating each other and become so deeply in love. I think that hate and love have passion in common, and what is more enticing than that?Continue reading “Book Review: Twisted by Emily McIntire”
