  • Tell me I'm not the only one suffering!!!

    How do you guys actually feel while reading dark romance? Because I feel like I’m constantly fighting myself while reading it. One part of me is hooked....the intensity, the chaos, the twisted dynamics… it gives a kind of adrenaline rush I can’t even explain (even though I’d NEVER want any of it in real life 😅). And then there’s the other part of me that’s deeply uncomfortable. Especially when a 17–18 year old girl is paired with an older man and the story tries to convince us it’s okay because she “consents.” Or when manipulation is romanticized like it’s just another form of love. I hate it. I genuinely do. And yet... that same darkness is what pulls me in. My journey with this genre has been confusing to say the least. My first dark romance was the L.O.R.D.S series,I read three books, enjoyed certain scenes, but eventually started hating it. Then came The Dark Verse series,and somehow, I loved it. Completely. (Yes, even though some parts still made me pause and question everything.) This series was really good🥺 And now… I’m back in the chaos again with Rina Kent’s Royal Elite series 😬 I’ve read two books so far after taking a long break. So yeah…...I don’t know if I love dark romance, hate it, or am just addicted to the emotional turmoil it gives me. Tell me I’m not the only one,what goes on in your head while reading dark romance?

  • Historical Fiction

    I was obsessed with historical fiction from grades 3-5. I woke up thinking about it this morning, for some reason. Now I need some good Historical Fiction recommendations. I'd prefer it NOT be U.S Colonial times or U.K royal-centric. Thanks 😊

    I just hate Peter so much from the moment he entered 😑. What on earth is wrong with this Van laar family, especially men??

    And I'm guessing the man who helped tracy in the wood was none other than Slitter himself 😬
