A desperate new mother.

A disgraced warrior.

A cursed forest.

Deep in the middle of the Dark Forest, in the kingdom of Lutador, is an inn. The inn is the only dwelling in the Dark Forest, sitting along the only road cutting through it. When circumstances lead Alice to seek a job there, working for Roque Toste, a dangerous man with a violent past, she will find that adjusting to her new home, and the man within it, will only be the start of her problems.

There’s something in the forest.

5/1 Edited to

What truly makes the Inn the Forest Trilogy stand out is its masterful blending of genres, offering readers an immersive experience that balances romance, suspense, and supernatural elements. From personal experience, the slowburn romance between Alice and Roque feels authentic and engaging, as it develops naturally against the backdrop of the cursed Dark Forest and its eerie inn. The use of the fake marriage trope adds an intriguing layer to their relationship, creating moments of tension and emotional vulnerability that keep you hooked. I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Roque as a possessive yet deeply complex male main character (MMC) whose grumpy exterior contrasts perfectly with Alice's sunshine personality. This dynamic brings warmth and humor to a story otherwise filled with horror and mystery. Moreover, the setting itself—the only inn along the perilous road in the Dark Forest—adds a cozy yet ominous atmosphere that keeps you turning pages. The trilogy's themes of redemption, protection, and confronting one's past challenges resonate well, especially with the inclusion of characters like the desperate new mother and disgraced warrior. If you're a fan of romantasy that incorporates horror elements without sacrificing emotional depth or character development, this trilogy is highly recommended. It offers not just romantic escapism but also a suspenseful and thrilling journey, making it a perfect read for anyone who enjoys slowburn romances combined with supernatural intrigue and the fake marriage trope.

When Faith Gets Hard

Deeper than the surface. To see who you were… To see who you are now… And to trust who you’re becoming— if you just keep believing in yourself. Keep believing in Him. Hold yourself longer. Don’t roll over so fast. Don’t rush to move— Ask why you’re still here. Then take the next step.
