katie | 2 comments Okay, so.... I'm going on a week long trip to california (northern, so it's still chilly(ish)) and i want to read some good books on my kindle. Does anyone have any good dark romance books that are on KU? Thanks girlies 🥰

Kaitlynn Gray | 54 comments The Cove by Harper L. Woods is a good one. I’ve heard that Twisted Love and Haunting Adeline are good as well.

Veanne | 44 comments The Realm: Mirage is a good historic romance with a fantasy twist to it, not dark romance but it definitely has darkness to it. It's on KU :) And long enough for a long trip :D

Kaitlynn Gray | 54 comments I’m so sorry. I just realized I had a typo in mine. It should been The Coven. I hope it didn’t confuse you or anything even though it was only a letter, but still I’m sorry

Shruti | 69 comments Hey, I have put my heart and soul into writing this book- She who painted her own Universe. I am a big fan of Romantasy and fantasy fiction, and I tried to create a perfect blend of ACOTAR, Divergent, shadow hunters, etc. The e-book version is finally out, so if this sounds something like you- please do give it a read🥀 She who painted her own Universe

Iheartbooks219 | 7 comments The Fabric of our Souls- K.M Moronova
Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux
Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers
Her Saint & His Sinner by Harmony West
Any book by Rina Kent and I just scratched the surface with her repertoire, so...

I'm very picky about what I read and these were five stars for me for the plot, the characters and development, and of course the spice.

{full hiatus} chelsea | 57 comments okk since you're just starting, i would say read Butcher and Blackbird! it's def dark romance, but it's on the tamer side and isn't too absurd. i hope this helps <3

Ariana | 14 comments Anatomy: a love story (duology)

It's a gothic romance which might be the same as dark romance but i'm not sure because i never read either until this book.
