The book cover for Keri Lake's "Nightshade" features a dark, gothic image of a figure with wings. Surrounding text highlights tropes like Reincarnated Soulmates, Paranormal, Angels/Demons, Possessive Winged MMC, Dual POV, Slow Burn, Forbidden Timelines, and Dual Timelines.

The book cover for Keri Lake's "Anathema" depicts a woman in a dark forest. Text around the image lists tropes: Forced Proximity, Slow Burn, Found Family, One-Bed, and Enemies to Lovers, with the tagline "Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods."

Gothic books I’m excited to read

I just finished Nocticadia and I LOVED it. It was intriguing and kept my attention the whole time while being slow. And the slow burn burned 🔥. It definitely made me want to read more Keri Lake. FYI- The tropes are what I found through researching online since I have read them myself yet 🖤🖤
