Let’s put it this way, if this was ao3, it would be tagged inappropriate use of a knife (or gun) 🖤 Many of these have said accessories only used externally, while others… 👀😱
I haven’t read every single book on this list yet, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere.
As always, book recs are always very welcum 💦😈

For obvious reasons this list contains mostly dark romance books (some of them very dark), so I can’t stress this enough: PLEASE CHECK THE CONTENT WARNINGS!!! You matter and your mental health matters! And here is your daily reminder that it is a-okay not to read a book or to DNF it if you notice it isn’t good for you! Stay safe and I love you all 🫶🥰
The title alone is killing me 😭😭
🤭🤭🤭 I mean that has been my reaction to reading certain passages from certain books soooo 😅😭😂
I need to know what this quest badge would look like 👀
Hahahahaha I just snorted out my tea laughing imagining this 🙈🤣 I think it’s safe to say this should probablyyyyy stay a list only 😂😭
I immediately imagined a knife going into an (in)appropriately shaped purse 👛
Noooooo 😭😂😭😂 Omg I am dead 💀😭 I guess a kindaaa appropriate version (although appropriate is maybe the wrong word in this context) would be a knife stabbed into a mattress (as a reference to that one scene in Lights Out)? But uhmmm still a bit questionable… 😂
Okay now imagine that with a sapphire background 💙🤣
Hi. I’ve read two books in two weeks with this 🤣
Psycho Alphas by Marie Mackay Pageant by Lilith Vincent
This second one is really making me consider that therapy appointment. *these are 🔫 suggestions
Ohhhh thank you, just added them 🫡🤭 And don’t worry this is very much a « we listen and we don’t judge » zone 🤣 Maybe we’ll get a discount if we all sign up for group therapy together though… 🤭
here’s the thing, i’m all for you do you and not kink-shaming but knife and gun play? that’s where i draw the line. 😭😭😭
😭😭😭 I mean not gonna lie, I was very surprised to find this many books with this trope (and even more that I have 50% overlap🤭😈) ᵂᵉ ᵃˡˡ ⁿᵉᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉʳᵃᵖʸ 💀😂🫣
if you’re taking suggestions, wickedly sweet has a knife scene 🫡
ohhhhhh thank you; just added it 🫡
