[@deandracarter8468]

There are some good indie authors on Kindle Unlimited who write dark romance. Stacey Marie Brown was my intro into the genre. She has several series. Alessa Thorn is another one. They do have paperback versions for most, some audiobooks, and available to purchase without the KU subscription. However, I highly recommend the KU sub because of the access to numerous romance subgenres and fantasy genres. For Alessa Thorn, "Darkest Night" is a great place to start.

[@hiyamachinatsu3762]

After hearing only good things about the series, I started it and was immediately traumatized by it, I was horrified that I had to root for the guy. The novel made the sa look like a normal romance troupe that is normal. I was flabbergasted to see people online mourning the end of the series. I was already traumatized by dark romances because of Haunting Adelaide and only tried to give DR a second chance because of Butcher and Blackbird, but now I am never going back.

[@Caitlin_Reads]

Literally 75% of our book club dropped from reading this after the first three chapters. So traumatizing! Truly unbelievable that this POS is the love interest who gets the girl. Also I did actually LOVE phantasma as a dark romance

[@tyler-df3wy]

If you want a decent DR book, Lights Out is a better version of Butcher and Blackbird. The man has a complicated relationship with his morality and how it relates to his kinks, the woman is developed and consents to everything, and violence is portrayed with actual weight rather than just a joke or a kink. If you’re interested, Reads with Rachel did a video on it recently

[@hiyamachinatsu3762]

@tyler-df3wy Thanks for the recommendation. It sounds really interesting, I will make sure to try it out.

Tik tok lied to us!! I can’t believe how many people LOVE this book & how young a lot of those people are. Truly blows my mind

[@sol_sunnyy5472]

I discovered the #RinaVerse a few years ago, and although every book within her universe is...certainly interesting, to say the least, Killians/Glyndons and Eva/Eli's book made me take the BIGGEST step back. "Moraly gray" is what she always describes her male characters to be like, but ?!?! The moment we romantisize SA (VERY different than CNC or potentially darker kink) or romantisize gaslighting a character with severed mental illness "to keep her mine" (God of War book), is just WILD

[@Caitlin_Reads]

True!! There’s nothing morally grey about them they are just bad people LMAO. Oof I can only imagine that the series gets more depraved- I just looked up some goodreads reviews of god war and it seems like a dumpster fire 🔥

[@ilsavil]

The female lead (i'm sorry i refuse to remember and learn her name) is definately a hybristophiliac and would be one of the girlies who sends love letters to serial killers in jail.

[@debrapurvis4408]

The only one in this series I liked was God of Fury. I read the whole series but each book seemed a repeat of previous books. But GOF was sublime. I LOVED the audio you have got to listen to it. Just perfection. Its like this book was almost didnt belong in the series or even was written by this author. It is a stand alone, but you catch glimpses of these characters in the rest of the book . I even bought a special edition of it which cost a fortune - but so worth it

[@Caitlin_Reads]

That’s so funny- I haven’t read any of her other books, but that would make sense with the whole ghost writer theory!!

[@yourmamandi]

The book was a 2.5 stars given bc i love bran BUT THE AUDIO MADE IT 4 STARS FOR ME BC OMG THEIR VAs SERVED CVNT

[@taylowendy]

The audio versions make the books good. GOF was perfectly read! I cried along with the characters. Shane East’s performance of Brandon King left me speechless. I’ve never heard an audible recording that good. The other books are just as good. It’s the narration.

I don’t have any issues with darker themes at all. I like very controversial books that get people’s panties twisted BUT authors like Rina Kent value pumping out books fast and spending less time focusing on their prose and spending longer time on their manuscripts. The writing has lots of issues but she won’t ever improve them because authors like that value fast new releases constantly

I've started reading this just because I was curious about the genre and all the hype about this "thing" (this is not a book in my opinion:) I've read only the first 3 chapters or maybe 4 I guess, then I stopped; not because I was traumatized or anything but because I respect myself and my brain cells. So I can not thank you enough for actually reading this for your followers so they don't have to suffer. Finally I've met a sane reader :) I think we should stop calling this genre dark romance and start calling it "Twisted PR" and I totally agree with you, this can't be written by an ordinary writer; it's either a troubled young person or anonymous ghost writers. Wish you the best while recovering after this book :)))

[@Danie9121]

THANK YOU! I read god of fury from this series as so many big booktok accounts were hailing it as the best gay book of the year and it was so, so awful. One of the worst-written books I've ever read. And boring. No nuance, no texture, just plain characters and sex scenes all coming together with atrocious writing. I cannot fathom how people think it's good. I imagine the teenager who wrote it must be set for life, though. Oh, well.

[@Caitlin_Reads]

Oh no!!! That’s such a huge bummer that it’s so celebrated. Idk if you read god of malice, but there’s this whole scene where Nikolai keeps calling bran a fake lotus flower to his friends and being a real whackadoo, so I can only imagine what an entire book would be like lol

She’s in my top 3; but my favorite romance is actually “The Diabolic Series”, and it’s not even technically a romance, it’s a sci-fi epic trilogy. It just sucks that romance is so… extra now. Some of the best romances I’ve read and experienced IRL are the sweeter kinds, not the darker aspects. Edit: This is a horror novel.
