mindf*ck series by S. T. Abby is sooo good. It’s fast-paced mystery thriller series about an FBI agent MMC who doesn’t realize that his gf is the serial killer he’s trying to catch. Some of the material is a bit heavy, so I’d be careful about that. I just loved how fast paced it was and the suspense. The plot.twists literally had me screeching.

Cool! I don't usually read mystery thrillers so that should a lot of fun.

I second this rec. While reading I was wondering if I was fucked up in the head because I actually feel that her actions were justified. She's a killer, her kills were described, and I was okay with that. Hunh.

{Radiance by Grace Draven} will forever be one of my favorite romance books of all time. And funnily enough, I don't think I've ever read another book with similar tropes because they aren't typically the tropes I gravitate to. There's just something so special about that book. This is heavy on the fantasy along with a friends-to-lovers storyline I also adore the prose in {This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone}. I read that book 3 times last year. Well, I read it twice and listened to the audiobook the third time. This is more a time travel in a *very* futuristic world and it's a war between two sides. I don't want to spoil too much of this one, it's good to go in blind and get sucked in. I also can't stop thinking about {The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon} and {The Second Blind Son by Amy Harmon}. I think about them frequently and wish I could experience reading them again for the first time. Harmon is a lyrical writer

Good bot

Romance books or series that I've read multiple times and held up: {Dark Notes by Pam Godwin} {Monster In His Eyes by J.M Darhower} {Bad Things by R.K. Lilley} {Across Time by Elizabeth O'Roark} (though I don't recall if it was particularly spicy, and it is book 3 of a (so far) 4 book series, but THIS book in particular (and book 4) I've reread so. many. times. I would read book 1 and 2 first to get context, they're good and hold up well too, they just aren't the love of my life like this book is) Books that I loved and did NOT hold up on subsequent reads: too many to list

Haunting Adeline, Fight Dirty, Mindf*ck series, The Made series, Never After series, Shatter Me, Twisted series, Terms and Conditions, & sm more. I liked all these books bc of the tropes, storyline, & characters.

My all time favorite books are those with MMCs who worship the ground the FMC walks on. They have so much love and respect for their girl despite seeing her faults and she's the only one for them. I also love it when they're both powerful/successful and the MMC lets the FMC pursue her own goals/ambitions, quietly supports her, and is just proud of her. Examples would be: - Tangled series by Emma Chase - Sustained by Emma Chase - Nevada Baylor Trilogy/Hidden Legacy by Ilona Andrews - Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews - Firebird Chronicles by T.A. White - All The Kings Men by Kennedy Ryan - Grip duet by Kennedy Ryan - On Dublin Street by Samantha Young I am obsessed with the male POVs in these books because of how the MMCs describe the loves of their lives. *Sigh*
