    Currently I’m dipping my toes into romantasy, out of curiosity. My SO like to read that genre. So I’m reading the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros. I’m at 75% of the second book. All in all a good fantasy series, with quite some smut/horny jail material. In the second book a bit to much for my liking.

      Looooove fourth wing, I got far more into it than I thought. I tried ACOTAR but… Eeh, don’t really get it. I currently like the slightly edgier ones, A Rain of Shadows and Endings (Legacy series) is one I was a bit obsessed with and really want to get on with the rest of the series. I also have some of the really dark romance books, the kinds that make my friends worry about me, that I need to get on and read (Twisted Heathens is first on that list).

        Oh, my SO also reads dark romance, but I want check that out. From what she told me about the dark romance books, that she reads, I really don’t want to read them myself XD Just like I don’t read splater or True Crime stories. I’m really at unease with all these dark stories women seem to like

          Heh, yeah they can get pretty dark… There are definitely a few gateway ones if you were ever curious without it getting too full on.
