Thoughts so far:

Enjoyable although I’m struggling with the name-dropping. I just realized that I’m only familiar with the immortal names & myths but not with the mortals lmao I had to google who the hell is who. It is also bewildering how Homer used Roman version of the Olympian names while it’s set in Greece. I download three different versions (from Apple Books) because I thought, “Oh maybe this version was translated for Roman audience.” Lol.

Aside from that, I find it interesting how people & authors have their own different ways of retelling the gods & goddess’s behaviors. Athena is practically a saint here, but she’s a MONSTER in Circe by Madeline Miller (and I’m sticking to her version because it feels more accurate to me). Also, do you notice how at the beginning the Olympians view Calypso as this menacing little girl trying to hide Odysseus away? The truth is, she also has no power to release that grown ass man back. These big shots just LOOVE to villainize minor goddesses & nymphs.

I loved Frankenstein so much that I ended up writing this after finishing it. I wanted to capture Victor's grief, the Creature's suffering, and the question of who the real monster was.

Unable to process his grief, he created his own monster, which gave him no relief. He ran away in shame; a tangible creature awoke in vain, never given a name, only words like “wretch” and “daemon,” which Victor profusely proclaimed. That left a murky stain of vitriolic pain, leaving Victor Frankenstein profoundly petrified of the secret where madness grew inside. As he looked upon his reflection, he murmured with his last breath, This is only something a monster could have done.

(Probably will delete)😰

This is the first, and so far only, time where I've been bored...

Other than this moment, I'm enjoying this book more than I ever thought I would. This is such a great read!!

Hey guys!! So I really want to try dark romance and I picked Haunting Adeline series and Jesus Christ what the hell, Ive never been more scared of a book, and mind you I read "It ends with us" too and i survived it somehow

It was later then I found out that although this series is called dark romance, many people that read dark romance dont consider it a part of the genre

So my main question is what are some dark romance books that dont have SA in them and that are actually good to read?
