Welcome to Whitlock by A.A. Dark
More serious darkness from the 24690 series, again, please check TW/CW before reading. These three novellas packed into one book seem to be the build-up for a knock out finale in Black Out. Stay tuned for that review 👀

Play Nice by @rachelharrison.bsky.social
This had some build-up but the end result was so good! There's dialogue from Mom in the past and youngest daughter from the present, unraveling years of family pain and haunting, plus the actual haunt!

While not as pitch black as the first one, this one still deals with extremely dark themes such as abuse, torture, and manipulation, so please research TW/CWs before reading. I did like this one more than 24690 though

Go find the TW/CW before picking this one up, they aren't in the book and this one is pitch black. I wouldn't call this a dark romance, but a horror/thriller, as both MCs are abusers and the relationships are very skewed.
