I hate these types of books so much, it’s not healthy to enjoy reading about this fucked up stuff. And then men think this is exclusively the type of literature we engage with 😭
First it was r*pe. Now it’s torture? Dude. What the hell is going on in the dark romance genre? Wasn’t it something like falling in love a criminal or arranged marriages to seemingly-but-not-really malicious men, or overprotective captors romances?
I feel like these type of stories have so much more potential as a horror than anything resembling romance (especially if it’s done in the POV of the victim and written in a way that doesn’t sexualize her pain or his abuse)
