Endless Depths by Thea Verdone @theaverdone.bsky.social Cole and Morgan's relationship is shattered into fragments avoidance, codependence and love. They have the pieces they need to repair it, but that process is easier said than done when every day could spell death. 🌈📚💙

OMG @theaverdone.bsky.social has done it again!! A fantastic gothic romance perfect for spooky season. #mmromance #mmromancereads #mmbooksky app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/8834...

A colorful graphic review of the book What Death Forgets by Thea Verdone. The cover art shows two men kissing under a gothic, moonlit sky. Around the cover are review elements: At the top, emojis show “How I felt” — heart eyes, crying face, flushed sweating face, and teary-eyed smile. On the left, chili pepper icons indicate high spice, and a grimacing face icon notes “Angst Level High.” On the right, text lists tropes: “Hurt comfort, Age gap, Gothic tale.” At the bottom, a row of five red hearts suggests a five-star rating.

Man in front of window hiding face in palms with musical notes fluttering around his head. Text says:
When it’s finally quiet enough to fall asleep,
I drop right into dreams about the way things used to be
when we were still happy, when you still loved me,
and that’s even worse than nightmares because the next morning
I have to remember that we broke up all over again.

This week’s #saturdark word is WICKED. Lev and Asher are exploring the ruins of an old tower… and exploring ruining each other. WDF is coming out this year. You can add it to your TBR on goodreads Many thanks to @morgandante.bsky.social for hosting and @whosthistyler.bsky.social for creating.

three pictures of a dark castle tower with blue gray watercolor painted over. Text box says:

“You said not to coddle you. I’m merely following your wishes.” Lev’s hand roved up Asher’s sternum and pinned him in place with flared fingers, while the other hand cupped Asher’s mutinous erection. “Do you want me to stop?”

“No,” Asher exhaled in a rush.

“I thought not.” Lev laughed, low and wicked, the heat of his breath fogging against Asher’s neck before a sharp nip.

Asher hissed. “You promised you wouldn’t bite.”

“First you complain that I’m being too gentle. Then you complain when I bite.” Lev abandoned Asher’s cock for a fistful of hair, and yanked his head back. “How am I to satisfy you?”
