Rant/Vent Reminiscing on what PNR meant to me growing up

16 Upvotes

I just feel emotional after reconnecting with BDB tv show as an adult.

I read Dark Lover when I was 18 years old perhaps. I remember writing in my journal that JR Ward has a way with words, and she can even describe a plain stone in a fascinating manner.

I wanted to write this here because may be some of you may also relate to this. Books have been a huge part in my growing up. And PNR was part of an important period in my life.

Of course, my first PNR (I don't know if it counts) would be Twilight. I loosely call it PNR here because I believe it gave me a soft launch to accept demons, fallen angels and more vampires books to enter my life.

I had a pretty dysfunctional home growing up, and struggled to cope with that. In some ways these books saved me and gave me an escape. In some other ways, I now wonder who I would have become if I couldn't escape into books. Would I have become someone I may not like? Or would I have found solutions for my problems even though I was just a teenager?

I can't remember if I read BDB first or Demonica series first. All I remember is fervently trying to find book series that were loooong and already completed.

I love both the above ones.

Today I wanted to reread or continue the Demonica series, as there are new books added to it as well.

I saw that Legacy series by Larissa Ione is starting and the series isn't complete yet. I found the plot to be intriguing.

At this point in my life I am not dependent on books to hide me from hardships of my world, so I am up for reading an ongoing series. But it just reminded me of how much it used to pain me when a book ended, when a series ended or when I can't binge a series. How endings felt like parting with something that felt like family.

Okay, I just wanted to share these weird and vulnerable thoughts that was on my mind today with my fellow PNR lovers.

Have a goood day, and read on!

Hey, I'm looking for any books where the heroine can see ghosts. And the hero is totally normal and has to deal with her oddness.

I'd prefer if the rest of the world was just our normal world. In otherwords not an urban fantasy setting. Contemporary or historical, MF preferred.

Thanks for any recs.

Hi everyone!

I read alotttttt of YA back in the day, I want to get back into reading but looking more towards adult written books.

I liked hush hush, fallen, the typical Badboy books. I don’t necessarily want dark romance but more romance in a dark setting, gothic, small creepy town type. I just want a dark element even if it’s from the male protagonist.

I don’t want the whole book to be too smutty a few chapters here and there is fine.

Thank you!!

Gush/Rave Review "Resilience: (How) To Be A Werewolf III" by Jan Stryvant

2 Upvotes

Book number three of a three book urban fantasy series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback self published by the author in 2026 that I bought on Amazon in 2026. BTW, the author published this book under a pseudonym, his real name is John Van Stry. The author has stated that he is writing a fourth novel for the series.

Joshua has been an orphan since age six when his parents and older sister were killed in a car wreck. He has been in the foster care system since then in Wichita Falls, Texas and at eighteen was the quarterback of his high school football team. But, he was falsely arrested for an armed robbery right before the championship football game.

Joshua spent time in the County jail before a friend's father bailed him out and got him a lawyer. Now he is trying to get himself cleared of the false charges and to finish high school. And he has three girlfriends. And he is able to change into a wolf or a werewolf since the jail took away his charm that prevented him from turning, descended from Odin's Ășlfhéðnar.

This book is a harem book as described by the author. That means that there is lots of sex in the book, more so than his regular books so he is using a pseudonym to indicate that to his readers.

I really liked the characters, they are fully fleshed out and very likeable. The story moves fast and is very tough to put down.

The author has a website at:
https://jvanstry.blogspot.com/

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (810 reviews)

Recommendation request Slow-Burn Paranormal Romance with Human!FMC and Paranormal!MMC

37 Upvotes

I've been bitten TWICE this week by supposedly slow-burn books that have had "I can't stop thinking about her..." before page 100. That's two DNFs! I'm losing my mind.

So, I need some PROPER slow-burn recs. I'm in the mood for paranormal books at the moment, preferably with a human FMC - I'm seeing lots and lots of witches, but not many humans. I'd also like it to be a world where the supernatural are not widely known, and she's unaware of the paranormal at the start. Would love a MMC who ISN'T a total arsehole - he can be a grump, but not mean. I'm also not a fan of fated mates and I hate, hate, HATE insta-love AND insta-lust, so... like, real slow burn.

Bonus points if she's inexperienced. Other than that, not too fussed!

Thanks in advance!

Do you know this book... ? SciFi/Fantasy Reincarnation Romance-Library Suggested Book, Read in the 80s

3 Upvotes

SOLVED!: (Does anyone know this book?) Title: The Everlasting, by Leonard Bishop

It unfolds as a story recounted via a court room drama. It centers on a couple where the man has been reincarnated many times over centuries or millennia with the woman seeming to be immortal. He's on trial for murdering her after reuniting with her this last time, in our modern era and she revealed their past to him. They kept finding each other and falling in love every time, but he always died tragically and didn't have memory of his past lives with her. Maybe published in the early 80's?

Gush/Rave Review {Star Cursed by Elizabeth Briggs} PNR Book Review

7 Upvotes

Star Cursed is the second installation of Elizabeth Briggs Zodiac Wolves series, and it kicks off right where we left off in Moon Touched, with our FMC Ayla being dragged away from her new home into the clutches of her dickhead mate JORDAN. We don’t like Jordan. Moon Touched ended with Ayla making a deal with Jordan and the Sun Witches, but to our real MMC Kaden it looks like she is leaving him, which surely broke the heart of anyone that read this. I do so love the angst!! 

Was this frustrating to read at times? Yes! Of course. Any time a main character is carted off by the bloke we know isn’t her forever honey boo boo, we all feel a sense of injustice and downright annoyance. Ayla is thrown in yet another cell, much to her dismay, and then has to suffer through Jordan’s attempts at manipulation, all the while the mate bond is screaming at her to do the deed with this turdstain. Poor girl really got it tough in life. Things start to look up when her bestie is reunited with her, however we know it’s merely a ploy from Jordan to say, ‘hey, if you try to leave, I will most likely murder your bestie, so play nice’. Despite this, our girls band together to make a plan of escape, which of course goes tits up. 

We know that this imprisonment can’t last forever though, and it doesn’t, with Ayla eventually reunited with a certain surly individual who is very unhappy at her supposed leaving him. Amongst all this action packed goodness, we get to really see the kinds of atrocities the Sun Witches are committing. There are some seriously disturbing plot twists, and we the reader begin to understand that the Sun Witches are akin to Wormtongue from lotr. With Ayla and Kaden now back together, the plan to overthrow the Leo wolves is back in action, and we get to meet some characters which cause all sorts of feelings for our favourite duo. 

We are slapped in the face with yet another cliff hanger at the end of this one! The frustration is real! So I decided to take a break, but I promise, I will come back to this series. I need to read about some Sun Witches getting what’s coming for them already.

Love, R&R

Recommendation request Requesting Standalones with powerful, non-human villain MMC that are available in Audiobook format

15 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a standalone (or a standalone within an interconnected series) with a guaranteed HEA that meets the following criteria:

  • Must have an audiobook version available.
  • Monogamous M/F only (no RH, poly, etc).
  • Adult characters (20+). No YA, and no academy, school, or university settings.
  • Ideal tropes: "Hates everyone but her", "Touch her and die", and an incredibly possessive, protective, feral, "down bad" MMC. Bonus points if he is funny or witty
  • The MMC: 
  • Must be non-human (vampire, demon, shifter, fae, god, monster, etc.)
  • should be powerful.
  • He should be a true villain or antagonist in his world.
  • He must have never loved anyone else romantically before the FMC, with eyes only for her once they meet.
  • The FMC: 
  • Can be sweet or a badass etc. Idm
  • Fmc must have a backbone. No "body betrayal" or acting like a doormat if he treats her poorly.

Also:

  •  No sexual non-con between the main leads. Mild dub-con is okay in certain instances (please note how it plays out).
  • No physical abuse from the MMC to the FMC once they are together. If they start as enemies and trade blows early on, or if he enforces a law before he has feelings for her (similar to the Horde King series), that is fine.
  • mmc shouldn't treat fmc badly for 90% of the book and suddenly switch; it needs to be a gradual shift or a soft spot from the beginning.
  •  Pregnancy or children cannot be a central theme. An epilogue or end of book baby is perfectly fine.

Looking forward to your suggestions!
