I have a document called "Scenarios." Because every so often, a plot bunny hops around my head until it gets its story told. But not every story can/should be a book. The world is not ready for my dark romance version of Frankenstein. But it now lives rent-free in my head. And my digital folder. 😶‍🌫️

book excerpt from War of the Shadows by Alianne Donnelly: Your scars are a badge of honor. You don’t hide them. You wear them with pride, and make it known to anyone who looks at you that you are a force not to be fucked with.” “Right,” she murmured into her juice. “Because, clearly, I am a fierce, battle-hardened warrior. One look from me and people cower everywhere I go.” “One look from you puts me on my knees.”

If you really think about it, the patriarchy is actually a woman-centric system. Women do all the domestic and emotional labor, women propagate the “legacy,” women provide value to a household as a trade object (thereby also being the primary target of acquisition in a man’s life), women are the source of a man’s satisfaction (through taking pleasure or inflicting pain), women are the reason for everything, and therefore also the primary scapegoat for everything that happens to be going wrong in a man’s life. The entire system is based on women. Without their participation, it completely falls apart. If you’ve read or seen Lysistrata, you know what I mean. If not, look it up. Or look around. Because we’re literally living it now. I guess what I’m trying to say is: Keep it up, ladies. 😉

Holy shit. Choices were made here... The movie is excellent, though it's definitely biased in one direction and emotionally simplified (compared to the book). But I enjoyed it.

Book excerpt from War of the Shadows by Alianne Donnelly: "There are no men like me. There's only me. And this should be the easiest thing in the world, but since you insist on making it difficult, let's do that. I still want something from the SU. I'm still grieving. I still don't know you. I still like you. What if all four are true at the same time?

#bookrec I have a weakness for Slavic folklore, and this weekend was the perfect time to scratch that itch. 10/10 #darkromance The "hero" is NOT a good guy. He is the literal devil. But it is so well written, I can't wait to read book 2. 💙📚 #romancelandia

#bookrec I love the hell out of this series, I didn't connect with the couple here as much as I did the previous couples, possibly because of the characters' emotional disconnect (plot point, so intentional). Still a good, steamy book, and a fun read, though. 4/5 stars. 💙📚
