233 of 25' Welcome to Whitlock by A.A. Dark More serious darkness from the 24690 series, again, please check TW/CW before reading. These three novellas packed into one book seem to be the build-up for a knock out finale in Black Out. Stay tuned for that review 👀 #booksky #A.A.Dark #24690series

232 of 25' Play Nice by @rachelharrison.bsky.social This had some build-up but the end result was so good! There's dialogue from Mom in the past and youngest daughter from the present, unraveling years of family pain and haunting, plus the actual haunt! #booksky #rachelharrison #playnice #BOTM

I believe this was last months Illumicrate pick, The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers. I have one other book from her but haven't gotten around to reading it yet, so I'll probably read this and City of Stardust back to back when I do #illumicrate #booksky #bookmail #thebookshopbelow #georgiasummers

229 of 25' White Out by A.A. Dark While not as pitch black as the first one, this one still deals with extremely dark themes such as abuse, torture, and manipulation, so please research TW/CWs before reading. I did like this one more than 24690 though #booksky #24690series #AADark

228 of 25' The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman I always love a good shifter romance! This one had the princess of an enemy kingdom kidnapped by an alpha wolf who wants to bargain her for a relic of his people, but he doesn't anticipate falling for his enemy #booksky #thewolfking #allurial

227 of 25' 24690 by A.A. Dark Go find the TW/CW before picking this one up, they aren't in the book and this one is pitch black. I wouldn't call this a dark romance, but a horror/thriller, as both MCs are abusers and the relationships are very skewed. #booksky #24690series #AADark

225 of 25' Anathema by @kerilakeauthor.bsky.social This was a great dark gothic horror/romantasy read. Our FMC escapes her fate only to drop into a more sinister world with a man who kills anyone who gets in the way of his goals. I'm invested in seeing where we go from here 😈 #booksky #anathema

I've had the absolute honor of getting to see these novels in the making & if you are a fan of Omegaverse novels, why-choose, & hockey romances you must check these out. These are part of a multi-author series called Knotty Puckers and I have loved both of these so far. full series release mid 2026

224 of 25' Naughty Saint Nick by Lexi Davis This is the perfect holiday novella! Amber and Nick have the best meet-cute and the way he falls hard and fast for her was beautiful. Lexi, those last couple of lines had me "aw"ing at home, so cute 🥰 #booksky #lexidavis #naughtysaintnick

223 of 25' Tourist Season by @brynneweaver.bsky.social The Queen of serial killer romcoms has delivered again and these two are a delight.

220 of 25' Arcana Academy by Elise Kova I truly loved the Tarot inspired magic system at work here. Our poor FMC really had a rough start, but absolutely shows her grit in the face of the grumpy and cold MMC. Def check it out if you haven't already! #booksky #elisekova #aracanaacademy

218 of 25' A Duet With a Siren Duke by Elise Kova I was able to snag the graphic audio of this one on #Libby and I'm so glad I was able to experience all it added with the music and singing of the sirens. This may have been my favorite so far of the series #booksky #elisekova #marriedtomagic

217 of 25' A Dance With A Fae Prince by Elise Kova This one started out so slow and innocent then quickly accelerated into long lost heir and corrupted kingdom. Our FMC is steadfast in her support of her husband and the need he has to protect his people #booksky #elisekova #marriedtomagic

216 of 25' Mate by Ali Hazelwood I'm all about werewolf/shifter romances and Hazelwood knocked it out of the park. I loved the angsty vibes and longing and of course the inevitable heat scene. The twists and turns were absolutely welcome 🐺 #booksky #alihazelwood #mate #bride
