Obsessed Microtropes

✨️Obsessed Microtropes✨️

Release Day isn't far off, and if you still haven't added Obsessed to your tbr, maybe these microtropes will convince you...

Obsessed is a Second Chance, Friends to Lovers, Found Family novel, and the second book in the Falcon Pointe series.

✨️Obsessed✨️

🌻Abby

I didn’t have a choice when my parents dragged me away from the only home I’d ever known, and forbade me from contacting the one person who meant the world to me. I was forced to live a life I never wanted, with a man I could never love.

Somehow, I learned to survive it…

Until Jackson Taylor finds me.

He’s not the boy I remember. He’s stronger, sharper, and asking questions I can’t afford to answer. Being near him cracks open everything I worked so hard to bury - especially the truth about why I left and what I’ve been protecting all these years.

Because Wanting Jackson means risking everything.

And this time, losing him might cost more than my heart.

🏈Jackson

She vanished, gone like a ghost in the night, and I never stopped looking.

Abby Park was my first love. The girl who owned my heart before life ripped everything else away.

Eleven years later, I’ve built a life I can manage, surrounded by people I care about, while never allowing myself to need anyone too much.

Until I finally track her down.

She’s different. Guarded. Hiding something I can feel in my bones. And the more I push, the clearer it becomes that Abby didn’t leave me. She was taken.

I don’t just want answers, I want her.

And I won’t walk away again, not when the truth threatens to change everything I thought I lost forever.

Tropes:

🌻 Friends to Lovers

🏈 Second Chance

🌻 Found Family

🏈 Protective Hero

🌻 First Love

QOTD: Which of these microtropes has you interested?

A stack of books, including "LEECH" by Hiron Ennes, under the title "PARASITIC HORROR it seeps in," illustrating the theme of internal invasion in horror literature.

A gloved hand holds the book "LEECH" by Hiron Ennes, featuring a bottle with roots on its cover. The text describes a replacement doctor in a frozen estate where bodies are no longer human territory.

A gloved hand holds "PARASITE" by Darcy Coates, featuring a dark, spherical cover. The accompanying text describes an unseen parasite on space stations copying identity, highlighting themes of replacement and loss of autonomy.

🧪SCI-FI + PARASITIC HORROR TROPES

🔬Sci-fi horror and parasitic horror overlap, but they don’t feel the same to me. 🔬SCI-FI HORROR is usually about the unknown — aliens, experiments, or something we don’t fully understand yet. 🔬The fear comes from not knowing what it is or how it works. 👾PARASITIC HORROR takes it further.
