« In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came…🎶 » 🕯️🖤💃 This is a list of retellings of The Phantom of the Opera; preferebly with an alternate ending (aka where Christine ends up with Erik). But any retelling or even book that gives off similar vibes without officially being a retelling, is very welcome 🖤

I haven‘t read all of them, so feel free to correct me or offer other recs This list goes from YA to (spicy) dark romance, so check your content warnings!!!

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

Romantasy standalones from YA to Dark Romance

MCs having a little too much fun with knives or other blades during spicy time.

Title inspired by Pimento's monologue in Brooklyn 99.

Recs are very much welcome 😈

Kinda spooky, probably dark and super atmospheric. May include: lady knights, academia settings, broody MMCs, haunted castles/manors, candelabras or gargoyles (BARTHOLOMEW!!)

Dark, spooky romances

This is your warning label.

The Spice Level: Unhinged list is reserved for stories that don’t just cross the line—they erase it entirely. These are the books where tension burns slow and then explodes, where magic and darkness collide with obsession, and where love is anything but safe. Expect morally gray to black (or outright dangerous) characters, power dynamics that bite, and relationships that blur the line between devotion and destruction.
