DO NOT READ!! 🖤

If you’re not into RH Dark Romance,

Buttttt if you areeeeee, these are for you.

More, please!!

.

I jump in head first when I see a laundry list of TW! While that may say something about my character, I will stand ten toes for these females and their love life.

Before reading, pleaseeee familiarize yourself with the TW!

These may not be for you, and if that’s the case, that’s okay. You can’t please everyone. If you enjoy dark romance and a good RH, I will always suggest the Loser series. Then Den of Vipers. Again, these may not be your type of read, and if it’s not, then DO NOT READ them!

Heartless Heathens - Santana Knox ☠️

Insperation from Norte Dame de Paris

—————————————————————

Den of Vipers - KA Knight 🐍

Think, Belle, but with a Major Twist! Not a Retelling

—————————————————————

The Dark One (Vicious Series Book 1) - Nikkie St Crowe

🗡️👸🧚🖤

Peter Pan & the Lost Boys, but make it dark… 😈🖤

—————————————————————

Court of Nightmares (Courts & Kings)- KA Knight 🖤👸

Rejected mate found family.. Its everything!

—————————————————————

Hate ( Madison Kate Series)- Tate James 🔪🖤

On my TBR so stay tune for a review

—————————————————————

Losers Part 1 & 2(Loser Series) - Harley Laroux 🫡🖤

This is amazing! Again check TW. This is a bully romance, the female is the bully and she becomes their everything! I loved this entire series so much it became me at one point 🥰😂

Have you read any of these? Are they on Your TBR?

This image outlines pre-reading strategies under the heading "Before you read." It lists three points: setting a purpose for reading, previewing the text by skimming headings, and activating background knowledge by making connections to what you already know.
Titled "As you read:", this image details active reading techniques. It advises readers to read actively by asking questions, take notes, visualize the text to create mental images, and re-read difficult passages for better comprehension.
