Happy Friday, and welcome back to Friday Five!
If you’re new here, the idea is simple: every Friday I share five bookish picks around a different theme. Sometimes it’ll be books, sometimes characters, tropes, playlists, adaptations, or anything else that gets us talking.
This week’s theme is: Five Books I’d Recommend for a Darker Reading Mood
Whether you’re looking for your next read or just fancy a bit of bookish chat, here are my five picks.
Thornbird by Elle Kennedy
FMC is the Daughter of A Serial Killer, need I say more…
Scythe and Sparrow by Brynne Weaver
Murder and mayhem with a sprinkle of love. Ticks all the boxes if you are looking for a darker romance.
Dire Bound by Sable Sorenson
The whole vibes of this is dark and ominous and some of the characters are shady asf.
Lights Out by Navessa Allen
This one blends darkness romance with absolute chaos – read with caution.
The Scarlet Veil by Shelby Muhurin
A dark vampire fantasy romance. This book did creep me out a little big, its atmospheric gothic feel was perfect.
Your Turn!
