If you're looking to spice up your December reading list, this collection of holiday-themed dark romance and suspense novels offers something uniquely thrilling. From stalker romantic plots set during Christmas to elite groups and mafia intrigue, these books blend traditional festive warmth with edge-of-your-seat drama. For example, "STALKING CHRISTMAS" by A.L. Maruga dives into a chilling romance where obsession turns deadly during the holiday season, while "Santa Possessiveness" by B. Lybaek weaves mafia romance with Christmas magic that will captivate readers longing for intensity and passion. Moreover, contemporary romance fans will enjoy Meghan Quinn's "HOW MY NEIGHBOR STYLE," which combines holiday cheer with an enemies-to-lovers trope, perfectly suited for the festive mood but with modern twists. Alta Hensley’s "HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING" offers suspense, mixing naughty or nice decisions with romantic elements—providing a truly unique Christmas read. Don’t miss Serena Pier's dark novella about Krampus, introducing an age gap romance wrapped in chilly Christmas folklore. These books can keep readers engaged throughout the holiday season, blending mystery, romance, and seasonal spirit. Adding these titles to your TBR will ensure an exciting variety of emotional experiences and moods for December reading. Whether you enjoy dark fantasy, suspenseful romantic thrillers, or heartfelt enemies-to-lovers stories, this curated list offers fresh picks to explore. Remember, reading these dark holiday novels also gives you the chance to experience different emotional perspectives on Christmas, beyond the usual joyful and warm tales. In summary, this December, embrace the mix of dark romance and holiday magic by selecting books that challenge your expectations of Christmas stories. These picks elevate the month’s reading into an adventurous and emotionally charged experience, perfect for readers who want a break from traditional holiday narratives.

Since I read just over 4,300 pages last month due to a reading challenge in a bookish FB group, I decided to get a bit ambitious with this month's TBR. QuickSilver & A Dawn of Onyx are carry overs from November which definitely helps. #decembertbr #winterreads #fyp #bookishlife
