What is the darkest romance you’ve ever read?! 📚 🖤

I'm not a dark rom reader, I very much err to the waff-ey side of fiction, but!!! I've been researching more about it cause the bad rep it gets (that's worsening in the past few years, I guess) parallels to the shitshow the antiship versus proship phenomena happening in (mostly, but not limited to) US fandoms. I'm happy to find booktubers talking about dark romance books in a joyous and entertaining way. I can see the appeal of reading about darker topics 😊

The darkest book I've read so far is "Whispers in the dark" by LeTeisha Newton. The heroine is 16 when she gets kidnapped by a man. It turns out that this man kidnaps girls, rapes them and when he gets bored with them he kills them. He also has a son from one of them. Anyway 2 years go by like this. Until one day the heroine with the help of the son kills the man. The son goes to jail after taking the blame for her (since he believes that they are in love). 10 years later the girl has changed cities and her name and she is working as a therapist with sex offenders. On the side she kills them when they show signs of committing rape or murder. Finally the son gets out of jail and he finds her. After a little stalking he discovers her killing hobby. He then imprisons her and rapes her. He tells her that only he can understand her and she accepts him (just like that) After that they start a relationship while also killing people together.
It wasn't terrible. I gave it 3 stars. If you don't have a problem reading about torture, rape and murder I would recommend. It's also pretty spicy.

I love the dark! Have read and loved four on your list, the rest on my Infinitesimal tbr! Life of Anna by Melissa Honeycutt is probably one of the Darkest that I've encountered.
I also happen to enjoying cheating in my fiction, Sea of Ruin by the brilliant Pam Godwin does double duty...actually more like quadruple, but mention of the other genres will spoil.
I likely sounded just as iffy and apologetic 10 years ago when I encountered my initial dark captive and MC reads!😆

Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas was one of my first dark reads years ago. Definitely stuck with me for years 🫣

Your summary of King of Flesh and Bones (thanks) reminds me a tiny bit of Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith.

I just finished haunting Adeline and now I’m on the hunt for more dark romances, this video is perfect tomjng

I can say I did not read many dark romances till now, a few, the first was Tears of Tess, this book made me very uncomfortable and I didn’t like it. Haunting Adeline wasn’t that uncomfortable and I loved it and another book I dnf, Descent by Sam Mariano, I just couldn’t get past anything in this book…Sicko was for me also dark because of what was done to the heroine. I might check out some from your list at some point…thank you for the recommendations

Hmmm I don't ever go to dark cause I'm a little pansy 😀, I think maybe Sugar and Skulls or one of Adelaide Forrests Bellandi Crime books.

Enthralled was nasty and unpleasant but I gave it 4 stars anyway, because how well done it is and how excellent the chemistry is was undeniable. Giana Darling knows what she's doing that even I couldn't rate it down. Yikes though!

Will you be doing some end of the year favorites or ranking videos? 🤞

The worst dark romance I read was Pennies by Pepper Winter. I couldn’t finish it.

I LOVED Haunting Adeline!!! but Hunting Adeline didn't hit the same way.. I didn't like it as much.
