Stockholm by E.K. Hunter
Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Spice : 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Genre : Dark psychological romance
Tropes : Stockholm syndrome, forced proximity, age cap, virgin FMC, remote island, dub/con an toxic MMC.
Pages: 295
Release : 30-10-2026
This is a dark psychological romance.
I find it impressive that the author writes about this subject—a toxic relationship—while also providing a clear warning about it.
The story follows Charlotte and Jacob. Jacob is a charming, handsome, and highly controlling man. From the very beginning, I couldn’t help but empathize with Charlotte. Jacob is truly malevolent; he does whatever he deems necessary to manipulate Charlotte into acting exactly as he wants.
The ending featured a bit of a twist, yet it still unfolded in the direction I had anticipated.

The edge of hell by H.D. Bergen
Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐Spice : 🌶️🌶️ Genre : Dark paranormal romance
Tropes : enemies to lovers, deals with the devil, dormant power awakening, morally grey alpha and paranormal creatures.
Pages: 325
Release : 29-10-2026
What a great story, about demons, devils, and angels. This is only the first part of a duology.
I really appreciate that the book addresses the topic of domestic violence and its consequences, an issue that is still far too often avoided in the world.
It’s a fantastic story, with a great deal of mystery surrounding Ariana. I love the suspense, the intrigue, the emotions, and the process of uncovering secrets. The narrative is exceptionally well written; it has everything it needs. I simply couldn’t stop reading.
The ending leaves me even more curious about what lies ahead for Ariana, Kael, and all the others.
I can’t wait to read the next book.

Tropes : Masked psycho MMC, violence, murder, survival games, haunted manor, secret society, ghosts, blood, kink and morally black characters.
Pages: 154
Release : 17-10-2026
This book is a short but very messed up story! But I loved it all the way.
What a great Halloween and autumn read. I love a masked psycho chasing the FMC. And the masked psycho MMC in this story is really fucked up. I really loved Cage and his little bird! Such strong written deadly survival games that made my jaw hit the ground. What a games!
And the ending of this story is even worse fucked up for the FMC. The twist in this book I never saw coming. I really need more books like this.

Another short story from this writer and again a good one.
A kinky, spooky and easy to read story. I really like the characters and the spooky vibe. It wasn’t as dark or spooky as I had thought. The spooky aspect was a little low and the dark aspect also.
I liked how the friends and their boos become very close and together. The story is good and easy to read. If you like Halloween, kinks, dom and sub dynamics and an age cap than you have to read it.

This is book 3 of “the honor series”. What a great and addictive book it is.
I love how the story is told. Full of suspense, tension, spice and emotions. Ava and Maxim are so a like in their childhood trauma’s. But they are so different now. There are great twists and turns in this story. Maxim is really horrible in his behavior but holds his word when he gives it to someone.
I can’t wait for the next book from this author.

This book was a real rollercoaster mentally!
Lizzy is a girl who does things to get the love of her father as a child. When her father gets metal issues it goes wrong. He starts abuse his wife and daughter. He even sets the house on fire with Lizzy in it.
Danny is the best friend of Lizzy her father and also a well-known psychologist, who specialized in hypnosis. He treats her father and her as well.
Lizzy falls in love with Danny. He puts her under hypnosis and then does very spicy things with her.
This story is really dark, psychologically messed up, uncomfortable and for sure not anyone would like this. I liked that I sometimes didn’t know what was real or what was not. It is so beautifully written and flowing.
I devoured the book and loved all the characters in this great but very psychologically story. I appreciated the chance to read it early. I can’t wait what story Jenny is writing next!

Tropes : Masked possessive MMC, stalking, violence, blood, mafia and forced proximity.
Pages: 149
Release : 01-09-2026
It is a great and thrilling short story.
If you are looking for a dark, twisted and Halloween book, read this one. I read it in one day. There is Sara who is an indie writer that comes back to her hometown. She is changing genres and becomes the one try’s here own story with a masked man. Then there is Cam who loves her and wants her. The ending feels rushed and was a little disappointing.
Just a very great short story for on your fall TBR.
