Entering the dark romance books era ☠️

Current reads 📖🖤

The Wicked delivers a gritty mafia world where power, loyalty, and obsession blur together, keeping every chapter intense and addictive.

What Moves the Dead leans into atmospheric horror—strange, haunting, and slowly disturbing, with a sense of dread that builds instead of explodes.

Apparently, I like my books dark no matter the genre.
