Ava slapping Annika at the hospital — from her prospective, she was justified.

Yes, she should've apologised to Annika after finding out the actual reason behind everything that happened(I don't exactly remember if she did or not)

If Creighton hadn't force Annika to choose between him & her brother, all these things would've never happened.

But in the heat of the moment at the hospital, from Ava's point of view she had a valid reason to slap Annika. Ava was more close to the kings, she grew up with them, they were practically a family. She loves Creighton like her own brother. Seeing him fighting for his life in the hospital bed, she felt utterly betrayed by Annika.

I think everyone was right from their shoes it was a very complicated situation.

I don't exactly remember that if Ava apologised or not later, but I can't actually be mad at her for loosing her shit like that in the hospital.

It was pretty fucking messy.

Books similar to My Dreadful Darling by HD Carlton

So it's been almost 15 days I finished the book and seems like I can't get it out of my head.

The tension, the chemistry, the characters ufffff😫 I almost forgot what it's like to read a true enemies-to-lovers where the leads actually despise each other.

So, I was asking if there are similar books like this one. No childish bully, only pure mind games.

I don't want any cheating, OW drama or fantasy.

PS: I often make post asking for book recommendations but I hardly get any😭 at this point I'm gonna die from reading slump.

Hard-core Non-Con but but the roles are reversed !

Need some book recommendations with Hard-core Non-Con but the roles are reversed, means it's the FMC who is doing Non-Con act to the MMC.

Don't mind if the MMC is sweet or Morally grey, I don't want their first sexual interaction consensual. I want him to fall in love with her slowly as the story unreveals.

What I don't want: Cheating, OW, sci-fi, fantasy, futuristic, omegaverse, historical. Manchild MMC.

Books I have read similar to this trope is Deliver by Pam Godwin. But the circumstances are very different in this book than what I am asking here.

What is the weird concept of Hate reading a book?

I genuinely don't understand 😕

So recently a very well known author released her latest book and it was already popular even before the book came out. So Imagine my surprise, after the release when I saw many people start criticizing the book since it was already so hyped on social media and then there was some reviews it says, "I hate the Author's writing so I decide to hate read the book"....Um Excuse Me? What do you mean by hate read a book? How did you brin yourself to read a book from an author you hate?

Do they really hate read a book or they just want to hop on the trend that's going around on social media?

Jonathan King — why does everybody hates him?

Can someone please tell me why Jonathan King is so hated?

I know he baited Aiden's mother and married her... but aside from that, does he get any redemption arc in his own book?

I'm thinking about reading his book because, you know, he gives off those older, powerful man vibes. Does he get any redemption?

Spoilers are fine!!

How can Yogesh go back to Akanksha after everything she put him through?

How shameless do you have to be to return to the person who ran a negative PR campaign against you for months?

Doesn't he have any sh@me after the way Akanksha villainized him on social media? The way she made those negative reels (indirectly pointing at him), the way her fans h@rassed him... how could he go back to that person?

He left Ruru, who stood by his side the entire time on the show, performed excellently, and cried for him on national Television... How is this even possible? 😭

He's just as disgusting as her. I hope both of them get their karma.

Bechari Ruru ko sabke samne villian banaya gya.

The girl Akanksha radiates so much negativity.

She is so fucking evil, guys! Whenever I come across any of her reels, the only vibe I get is negativity.

Her fans always give death threats, slut-sh@med Sandy, Ruru, and now Asmita... and still, she never tells them to stop harassing these women.

She's even friends with that Sorab. How can you be friends with a man who body-sh@mes other women?

She makes fun of people's vocabulary and calls other women "pick-me"s, as if your entire fame isn't dependent on a guy who rejected you on national television.

She is such a vile person!!

Am I the only one who finds Gullu & Kaira's relationship so fake?

I'm not a hater of Gullu and Kaira or anything, but I always find their relationship so pretending or performative.

I think Kaira is out of Gullu's league. I want her to find someone who matches her standards.Gullu gives me immature & chapri vibe.

Am I the only one?

Virgin innocent MMC ×Morally grey FMC!

Is there any book where the MMC is innocent and Virgin but the FMC is Morally grey. I won't mind if she/he is dominant in bed, I just want the MMC to be innocent and in awe with her.

I want her to lead the relationship and him to follow her. She is the fierce, possessive and more protective over him and he is the sweet, shy & cute one.

Bonus points if there's emotional depth.

What I don't want: Cheating, OW, sci-fi, fantasy, futuristic, omegaverse, historical, paranormal, aliens.

I already heard about Mindfuck series and please don't recommend me anything from Bratva series by T J maguire.

Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more description.

My Dreadful Darling by HD Carlton

(I'm reposting it after giving it some thoughts)

Alexa, play ‘Lies Tell Me Lies’ by Ellie Goulding, because this song belongs to Kellan and Reverie!

First of all, why did the last chapter end like a horror show? I mean, the way that woman’s limbs were sprawled across the room was absolutely horrific. And the cliffhanger? What the hell??

It’s been a while since I read a true enemies-to-lovers dark romance where both characters want to kill each others. And guess what? I devoured it 😝.

Let’s talk about Reverie’s character first. I am quite fascinated by her. She is a very mature, strong, and humble person. I understand that many people would blame her for not exposing her father’s crime to the world, but we have to remember that what she went through was deeply traumatizing.

The way her father kept threatening her, anyone would do what she did to stay safe. The best thing about her is that she fights. For years, Dread tormented and bullied her, but guess what? She never broke down. She stood up against her bully, and I am so proud of her.

And as for Kellan, my man needs someone to hug him and tell him that they believe him. He went through a lot of trauma. People bullied and tormented him for years because he put Lionel in jail. And that’s where his hate came from, nobody believed a nine-year-old boy, and the whole world called him a liar when he confesses that it was Lionel who killed his mom.

He wants revenge, and since Regina is dead and Lionel is in jail, he took it out on Reverie, and she gave him every reason to hate her, if you look at it from his perspective. There was a lot of miscommunication. He knows that Reverie knows her father slaughtered all those women, but his hatred grew when she didn’t confess anything to the judge ( He isn’t aware that Reverie’s father threatened her).

They are both doing what any people would have done in their shoes, and I understand that all of this comes from their trauma. There were so many scenes where Dread almost broke whenever he talked about his mom. It was so sad. I’m sending hugs to both of them. And I hope that cunt Lionel won’t ruin my babies, otherwise, I will riot because of how the book ended. I am both nervous and curious.

He just wanted her to believe him, and when the whole world accused him of lying, he only had his two friends–Rouge and Severen supporting him. And I love all of them. I love how Rouge got on his knees and begged Reverie for forgiveness. I loved how Severen became so protective over her and started caring for her.

And you know the best thing about H.D. Carlton’s books? It is that every side character gets a significant role that thickens the plot, even if it is only for five minutes. I loved all the side characters–Sabel, Olive, June, Rouge, Severen... I love all of them.

And the spiceeee... holy hell, we were swimming in it!! The spice was spicing 🔥🥵 He crawled toward her during one scene 🫠 The scene at the crematorium brought me to my knees. And the best thing is that our man whimpers 😫👅... he is very needy and definitely a pussy eater. I wholeheartedly understood why Rev kept going back to him(she understood the assignment).

\>!And most importantly, who do you think the Copycat is? My money is on Barry because he is really suspicious (I think I will start a war if he is the Copycat). I don’t think Roxi could be one of them, and definitely not Octavia.!<

There was so much tension between Rev and Dread. Their chemistry was so intense, and omg, the push and pull just added fuel to the fire. And when he calls her darling 🤌💗. My man is delusional–the fucker really declared to the whole world that she is going to have his babies someday 😝. Every character in the book felt so real, it was almost like I was living among them.

My favorite scene from this book was:

“You can’t leave me, darling,” he says quietly, a hint of vulnerability in his tone.

“Why?” I ask, my voice faint.

A crease forms between his brows, appearing tormented as he says, “Because it would break me.”

😭😭😭 He literally said that he will follow her in even death because without Reverie there is no Dread😭 (stop chopping onions)!!

I just know that I loved this book so much. The hate was there, the obsession was there, the mystery, spice everything was in top notch.Thank you for listening to my rant about how obsessed I am with Rev and Dread, and I can’t wait for the 19th 😭😭

Why nobody talks about how shitty Xander was?

Whenever I see any tiktok or insta reels of any Rina Kent books it's always Killian, Asher, Landon who people are hating on (a very good reason to hate) but I never saw anyone talking about how shitty Xander was to Kim.

I mean he didn't sexually assaulted Kim but mentally abuse is abuse, right? Which he did to her for 7 fucking years....fat shaming her, bullying her, pushing her on the verge of death and then boom! No grovel at all.

Why nobody talks about this?

Anyone here from India who's facing the same difficulties as me?

I searched it on Amazon.in but it's not available there or any other online bookstores for that matter.

I'm so mad right now!! I desperately want to read the book before I get spoiled.😭

I want him to be so insecure, fragile & vulnerable who is probably abandoned and ignored by everyone. He truly believes no one could ever love someone like him, so when the FMC finally confesses her feelings he's overwhelmed & very emotional.

■ I’m specifically looking for:

• A vulnerable, insecure MMC.

• He has low self-worth and doesn’t think he deserves love.

• No one has ever treated him with real kindness before.

• The FMC’s love confession hits him hard emotionally.

• Bonus if he cries, clings to her, or holds her like he can’t believe she’s real.

• She becomes the center of his universe.

• Hates everyone but her.

• Possessive + touch her & die.

The only book with this vibe I remember is Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan (but it was contemporary and Archer was a very sweet guy). >!The Mmc was abandoned by the whole town and gets very overwhelmed when Fmc start treating him like a person!<.

I want more angst & emotional turmoil and definitely a possessive hero. Please note that the Fmc needs to be a bit understanding and not some brat. I want both of them to be equally mature.

What I don't want: Cheating/OW (i truly despise these two tropes), doormat Fmc, manchild Mmc, sci-fi, fantasy, futuristic, sci-fi, omegaverse, historical, aliens.

Thank you in advance. Let me know if you need more description.
