Twisted Love by Ana Huang
Twisted Love by Ana Huang, is a satisfying dark romance exceeding my previous experience with the author’s work. Ava’s character grows impressively, displaying strength and determination that endears her to readers. Alex’s single-minded pursuit of his desires enhances the romance. Although the pacing fluctuates, a surprise third act ramps up the story, making the book a commendable dark romance and a likely read for fans of the genre.

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears
Though normally uninterested in nonfiction, I read Britney Spears’ memoir, ‘The Woman in Me’, for insight into her life. Despite finding the writing style simplistic and juvenile, the overview of Britney’s struggles, from childhood fame to the conservatorship, left a profound impact.

Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth
Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth is a super cute and fun read! Abbie’s revenge on the pretentious Richard is a blast. Amid the fluffy holiday romance, serious issues of mental abuse are tackled gracefully. Abbie and Damien’s sweet love story adds depth, though the spice might not be for everyone. Recommended for a solid, Christmas-filled TBR!

Bloody Broken Fate by Hazel Jonas
Desperately needing a break from holiday romance, I dove into Bloody Broken Fate by Hazel Jonas—a dark vampire romance. Initial skepticism aside, the book hooked me fast. Raquel and Zeno’s patient and refreshing dynamic sets it apart from typical dark romances. The worldbuilding, with vampire mafiosos, witches, and Greek gods, captivated me. While some technical issues existed, it didn’t detract from the engaging plot. A must-read for dark paranormal fans!

Dear Santa by Kristen Granata
Dear Santa by Kristen Granata is such a sweet and short holiday romance. Jake and Christina let the sparks fly as they play pretend for her family Christmas. It’s a cute and spicy read that I definitely want more of!

King of Wrath by Ana Huang
“King of Wrath” by Ava Huang is a quick, enjoyable dark romance featuring relatable characters, Dante and Vivian, who build a genuine relationship instead of suffering from instalove. The book progresses at a steady pace, introducing realistic obstacles.

The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard
The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard is a compelling sequel, exploring the protagonist Winnie’s physical and emotional journey, and her relationships. The book unfolds with a mix of slow-paced emotional introspection and fast-paced action. Its plot leaves the readers with more questions even as it reveals more about the world. Dennard’s portrayal of Winnie as a young, imperfect teenager, not all-knowing but growing, adds authenticity to the narrative. Highly recommended for those who enjoyed the first book in the series.
