Loving the Broken Bloodlines series by Sadie Kincaid and I'm looking for similar vibes. Her other books are all Mafia related and I dislike that trope. I want some or most of the men to also fuck each other (especially if they do it in front of the FMC, teasing/edging her while she's forced to watch without being able to participate). I also loved the primal play with them hunting her.

Bonus requests:

- forced bonds

- dubcon/noncon (I know this series doesn't have any of that but it's a big kink of mine so I always add that to my requests)

- daddy dom

- pussy spanking

Absolutely NO omegaverse. I despise the whole genre.

I'm reading {Blackwood Institute by J Rose} and I'm struggling with it. The writing style reads as very...self insert, written by an angsty emo highschool girl 😂 I should know, I used to be one. All the MMC's are punk/emo, with shredded jeans and band tees. It makes them feel way too young for my preference, so I just keep completely glossing over any character descriptions and inserting my preferred types 😏

This trilogy comes highly recommended but I'm finding it difficult because there are so many typos and just terrible mixups with the timeline. Like near the start, two of the MMC's visit the FMC's room and comment on her lack of anything in it including clothing. Then a chapter or two later, the same characters visit her room and have nearly the same exact interaction as though they were seeing it for the first time, but they'd clearly already seen it earlier. That's just such sloppy writing to me. I'm gonna give it a try through the end of book one but if mistakes like that continue and the character descriptions keep distracting me, I'm gonna end up DNFing it 🤦‍♀️

I read the most insane dark romance I can find. Never thought I'd find one that truly bothered me, but I finally have. I've been reading The Brethren Lords series by Ellie Sanders and the first book was great, I loved it. Typical secret society running the world, the women are treated like shit, MMC falls head over heels for a reporter trying to write about the secret society, etc. The MMC is absolutely unhinged and it has a lot of sexual violence, yes, but I still enjoyed the insanity. Non/dub con doesn't bother me.

Then I read the second book and...y'all, we have a new couple, and this new MMC >!breaks the FMC's spine with a sledge hammer. You know, so she won't ever leave him.!< The third book, another new couple, MMC >!cuts her eyes out and keeps them in a jar.!< At this point I'm literally reading out of absolute morbid curiosity on how much further the books will go because each one is more violent than the last. There is no romance. There is no HEA (I mean...the FMC's end up claiming to be in love by the end but honestly, it's 100% because they've been tortured so much they've literally broken). The MMC's are absolutely not redeemable in any regard at all. I've thought about DNFing several times. Yet somehow I'm still reading 😅 Do y'all have a book/series that tested the limits of what you'd enjoy reading? I don't even think I'm enjoying this series, I'm just reading to see how far the author goes, each book escalating the violence.
