"He would kill people for her, sure, but did he even actually like her?" Oh dear Lord 💀💀😂😂😂😂

[@bookswithellen]

LITERALLY THO!!! that book gave me whiplash

[@jadeureads]

I knew you’d love The Predator! The Dark Verse series is SO GOOD. Also, Tristan & Morana’s story continues in The Reaper (book #2)

[@TorturedFolklore]

I recently found you and I am very very picky with the bookish girls I watch on KZbin (I watch about 4) and now you are one of them! Happy to have found you.

[@bookswithellen]

omg i feel so honoured😭 thank you for being here!!!

[@LexiSimovski]

Im currently binge watching ur videos and im loving them so much!! You are def my new fav booktuber 🥹🥰

[@bookswithellen]

omg thank u so much🥹🥹 makes me so happy

[@dilpreetkaur557]

And i love god of malice😂😂😂😂, basically anything written by Rina Kent 😂. Hope u try more books from her. and your voice, i love voice and accent 💖.

[@bookswithellen]

i might try a different series from her to see if i prefer that!🤍

[@yourdad8224]

​@@bookswithellendont do that to yourself 💀✋🏼

[@Ilovebooks1010]

Her soul to take is definitely my fav dark romance book I read it all in a day it was so good😆

[@beautifulmama862]

Mine too.....i loved the second one can't wait to get the third ❤

[@beautifulmama862]

Her soul to take and the other two in the trilogy are my favorite ❤ love them

[@laylotts_]

I'm in love with your hair. You are so pretty! (and have a good taste for books... and yes, I agree, the predador is incredible)

[@bookswithellen]

thank you so much🥹🥹 i am DESPERATE to carry on with that series!!

[@bookswiithsoph]

loved this video!! i found the same thing when reading The Dare by Harley Laroux! with the mature content but immature writing style 🤨but i promise there are some dark romances out there where the heroes actually respect women 😭😭

[@bookswithellen]

it was so odd!! i’m glad i’m not the only one who thought so🫢 i’m on the hunt for some, think i’ve just had back luck so far😭😭

[@MichaelaChristineReads]

I've never read dark romance so it's likely I just don't know what I'm talking about but there seems to be a lot of times when I watch vids of people talking about dark romances that leaves me asking where the hell the romance is 🙃 also, love your tattoos, so cute and pretty!

[@bookswithellen]

literally😭😭 think imma stick with me contemporary romances for now, don’t think i can handle the super dark ones🫠 and thank you so much!

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

I was thiking the same thing as she was reviewing them. Like it's more dark and less romance.

[@carolinasilva9288]

Hi Ellen, I enjoyed this video so much, this concept of reading the same genre of books for a week is really cool! At the end, I took out one book of my TBR (God of Malice) and put another one (The Predator) 😁 Btw, I love your new and older tattoos, I have 2 but haven't gotten the courage to get more because I feel like I couldn't choose what to get 😅

[@bookswithellen]

ooo i really hope you like the predator!! (and i would defo steer clear of god of malice🤣) i’m so spontaneous when it comes to tattoos, i don’t really double think them (which could probably be a bad thing🤣) but i still love all of mine so it’s not come back to bite me yet!!

[@liv4316]

If you don't like her soul to take I definitely don't recommend reading any other monster romances cause the smut scenes in HSTT are mild at worse in retrospect. And its totally fine if you're not a monster romance girlie cause there are so many other dark romance mini-genres to like other than monster.

[@AnnaRak423]

Hey Ellen, I finished Brutal Prince this week and felt the same way about this book as you did with Her Soul to Take. It wasn't great but it wasn't the worst thing I have read. It was my first crime family romance book and it was okay. Not a lot of substance but entertaining in its own way. I gave it 3.5 stars. I think I will stick with contemporary romance and romantasy novels. Currently listening to Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez and enjoying it way more. Thanks for a great video, loved seeing your facial reactions!! 😂

[@bookswithellen]

ooo interesting!! i’m planning on reading brutal prince next month so i’ll have to see what i think! i looooved part of your world so i hope you do too😊 it’s one of my faves

[@flwersmillie]

I am in love with your hair 😍 what did you ask for when you get it cut or like how do you style it because I lowkey wanna get it?

[@bookswithellen]

thank you so much!!🤍 i asked for chunky 90s layers with curtain bangs. i usually style either using my dyson airwrap, or i just use straighteners and do a little curl inwards towards my face at the bottom of each piece of hair. i hope that makes sense!!!

[@bookswithellen]

(i also defo don’t think dyson airwraps are necessary for this hairstyle, they’re super expensive and honestly i’m not all that impressed with my one!! day to day i just use my straightener and that works well for me😊)

[@azulluna3253]

I usually read fantasy, classics, science fiction and thriller books but I decided to try some dark romemce(cause I find normal ones quite boring or cringy) and the first one I choose was God Of Malice and OMFG, definitely I hated it because of the NC and I didn't even finished it

[@bookswithellen]

i’m so glad you agree with me!! feel like i was in the minority with hating it 🙃

[@jessclemens2897]

The dark verse series (series which the predator is from) is one of my faves! I’d recommend the made series by Danielle Lori & the sinners anonymous series by Somme sketcher since you enjoyed the predator! They’re both mafia dark Romance series on KU! Book 2 in the made series the maddest obsession is one of my fave books! Sinners anonymous wasn’t my fave but the next two in that series are sooooo good! Loved this video!

[@bookswithellen]

i’ve read the made series and LOVED it!!! think i have read all of them other than the last book. i’ve also read the first two books in he sinners anonymous series as well and really liked them!!

[@shidove]

god of malice is probably one of the most triggering and toxic books among the LOG series but trust me theres a few books in the series that are actually better than it lolol 🥲🥲🥲
