Ciarán doesn’t want to be followed by death. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall in love with her. Pursuing a doomed romance with his family’s banshee in the face of plague, he must choose the pain of living or the seduction of the death-bringer.

#SmoochPit 2025

#questpit #W #A #Horrormance #H
Mood board depicting a moody, gothic romance vibe, with a rural historical Ireland setting Title: The Banshee of Clan Murtagh Body: Ireland, 1348 When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. But they don’t believe his warnings--why would they? The last time Ciarán heard the banshee he didn’t tell a soul until after his cousin’s tragic death, and they’ve never trusted him since. Desperate for redemption in his family’s eyes, Ciarán hunts down the banshee in search of answers. She’s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the banshee’s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, generations ago, named Deirdre. Deirdre claims that Ciarán’s physical touch restores her memories, and demands more. He agrees to meet by moonlight in hope of learning whose death she foretold. With every encounter, Ciarán’s attraction to Deirdre grows, setting him on a path of macabre desire. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdre’s memories reveal a dark scandal in the family’s history, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his family’s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer.

MEXICAN GOTHIC X CRIMSON PEAK

A biracial woman returns to her birthplace in S. Korea where she must choose between unearthing her family's history of disappearances—and the truth buried in her grandmother's garden—or become the next woman claimed by the its dark history.

#questpit #A #F #H #W
When Seo-Yun returns to her estranged and ailing grandmother’s island estate to investigate her family’s history of disappearances, she finds the once-illustrious house steeped in rot and the prized garden now withered and dying. As Seo-Yun's physical and mental health deteriorate, her grandmother’s inexplicably improves. The decay in the house mysteriously begins to heal, while creeping vines from the garden hungrily spread throughout the halls, whispering warnings of a faceless ghost that draws closer each passing night. On the verge of her mind and body unraveling, she must unearth generations of her family’s secrets—and the truth buried in her grandmother’s garden—before she becomes the next woman claimed by its dark history. Photo grid: statue covered in ivy, a woman staring into the forest, a woman covered in a sheet, a person wrapped in ivy, a picture of a woman's face scratched out, a woman standing in fog, a moth on a hand, a person sitting in the dark, a hand wrapped in ivy

An excerpt from Chapter 3: Gathering Storm, from Touched by Sage T. Greene. “What on earth brings you here at this hour?” he asked. “And in this weather?” “I…” Erryn’s voice was rather small. Rolfe took a long look at him. Erryn looked like the forlorn hero of some great tragedy, beleaguered, caught under a heavy weight. The rain had slicked his dark hair and drenched his clothes; they clung to him as if he and they were sculpted from the same piece of marble. The lingering embers in Rolfe began to crackle. “Come in, then,” he instructed, gesturing for Erryn to close the door behind himself and join him. “Sit by the stove. I’ve avoided your death once today already—I’ll not have you cross me by contracting some grievous cold.” Erryn closed the stable door and followed Rolfe into the little kitchenette. There was a two-person table, cabinetry, and a charcoal stove for heating meals. Coals still burned from Rolfe’s earlier dinner. Rolfe pulled the chairs to sit in front of the stove, and together they took their places. Rolfe himself had been thoroughly doused by the rain, and he held his hands out to regain some warmth. Despite the cramped space, Erryn felt that he had regained the ability to breathe. “Thank you,” he said coarsely.

TO BECOME THE MOON A dual-POV adult romantasy steeped in Nahua (Pipil) belief*, set against the lush tapestry of precolonial Central America. Adult | Romantasy | 90,000 * — (Pulling from my family's heritage) QUERY Itotia, a healer’s apprentice struggling to meet her mentor’s expectations, sees visions when she touches others. She believes it’s a sign of possession—an omen warranting exile or death—until her attempted banishment ritual truly binds her to the god she calls on. But the moon deity, Metztli, is self-serving and nothing like who Itotia thought she worshipped. Metztli, the exiled moon deity, has been confined to the human realm for showing emotion. They bargain with the wicked gods: Metztli will deliver unknowing Itotia to the divine realm in exchange for a broken bond and their returned seat in the sky. The two can hardly get through a conversation, let alone a tethered line of thought. They begin to relish how Itotia challenges them, just as Itotia starts to admire the way Metztli defines a being’s worth. Itotia’s determination to excel is engulfing, and soon, Metztli’s certainty in the irreversible bargain morphs into dread for the day Itotia discovers it. Comp titles with arrows pointing the specific tropes of each book: The Legend of Meneka by Kritika H. Rao (non-western mythology, lush prose) The Deer and the Dragon by Piper CJ (fickle gods, bargains) North is the Night by Emily Rath (fairytale feel, bargains) Her Soul for a Crown by Alysha Rameera (Bargains, Fairytale Feel, Tethered Love interests) Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy (tethered love interests, enemies to lovers) EXCERPT Where humans regarded earth-given gifts as currency, gods traded in favours. Perhaps that was the reason they mistook us for desiring hand-carved trinkets and the cacao beans that splattered on the jungle floor with as much allure as the droppings of a bird. They hurled them to the ground, made some demands, then slapped their hands together a few times and called it divinity. Through all the glares and angered roars, I held my attention on only one form: a narrow-framed shaman with a bloodied cheek the perfect echo of mine. Beautiful as she was, she would be my death. Of that, I was already sure.
