CARNAGE AT CULLEN COMP, the conclusion to my high school dark romance duet, is out now at:

US: http://bit.ly/CARNAGE-AT-CULLEN-COMP
UK: http://bit.ly/CARNAGE-UK

Book 1, CHAOS AT CULLEN HIGH, is currently free on Amazon - if you haven't yet read it, or have read it before on Kindle Unlimited, now's your chance to grab your own permanent copy!

I've been so chuffed at how much readers have loved Ellie, Cal and CHAOS:

"Ellie and Cal are definitely my top couple of 2021. First book to be read by the author Susannah Stone. This is one is definitely different from the rest of dark romances that I've read. I just fell in love with Ellie and Cal, They found each other and started to heal their damaged hearts and souls. It was so beautiful to watch and read. I'm glad I waited till now to read because I definitely look forward to the next book. I gotta see how it ends."

“Susannah K. Stone is a new to me author & she's now stuck with me as a fan for real. There's so much going on in this story that all my emotions were running amok to keep the heart rate up. I'm already impatient for more as it's a series (YAY), and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!”



“Loved it! On the surface this looks like another bully type romance, however it was so much more! Their chemistry was super hot and steamy! I'm super excited for the final instalment!”



“Chaos at Cullen high by Susannah K Stone is the first book that I have read by her and I love the story. I Literally could not put this book down. Susannah sure knows how to keep us on our toes and I can’t wait till next books come out highly recommend it !!!!!”



“Kept me on the edge of my seat while reading. So full of drama and suspense. Characters were well written and relatable. Highly entertaining story.”



“This is a well written story which is dark, raw, gritty and has vicious students, angst, secrets, suspense, which all lead to a steamy and all-consuming page turner. I look forward to reading more in this series and recommend for all readers who love dark and intense stories.”

The Sainthood by Siobhan Davis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


HOLY MOLY MAMA! The Sainthood by Siobhan Davis is the hottest dark romance series I've ever read. Book 1 kicks off with a bang (literally) and from then on it's one hot, steamy and fast ride with four hot, steamy guys and one absolutely kickass FMC. I rated all three of the books five stars but would give more if I could after reading the bonus epilogue. I LOVE seeing characters some years after the resolution of the main books and this did not disappoint. Am actually kinda peeved Saint and his boys are fictional so I'll never meet them, heh.

I write dark romance too but I don't think I could ever attempt RH - am so impressed with how the romance and character arcs played out over three books, and for four romances not one! Hugely recommended - read now!!



View all my reviews

Huzzah, I've finished the final book of the trilogy! FREED is released today :) /proud

ARCs are now closed for FREED - thanks to everyone who's reading and reviewing.

But! ARCs for the full box set are available for another couple of days - you can read all three books for free here.

Thanks again to all of you who've followed the Curtis and McCann journey - it means a lot! Next up is Released, a bonus epilogue story following Cara and Nick after the events of Breaking the YOC; after that is Chaos at Cullen High, a bully high school romance set in Ireland. More info soon.

Love from Susannah x

Hi all,

I hope you're safe and well.

Good news - I've just uploaded Book 3 in my BREAKING THE YOC trilogy to my Advance Review Copy service. If you've been waiting to find out what happens to Nick and Cara on the run from teenage jail, download and read for free here!

Even better news! I've also created an ARC for the full box set, if you haven't read Books 1 and 2 yet, or if you want to have the trilogy as a single volume. You can download and review over 550 pages of steamy dark romance here.

Both FREED and the box set are released on 10 July.

Keep an eye out too for RELEASED, the bonus epilogue story to the BREAKING THE YOC trilogy, which is out on 24 July. This title is *not* necessary to tie up the Yoc trilogy, but is just an extra story for those of you who want to read more of Cara and Nick's adventures. I find I'm not ready to say au revoir to them yet...

Enjoy! I can't wait to hear what you think.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well and safe.

I just wanted to let you know about a few hundred Kindle Unlimited books you might like to check out - I've been teaming up with other romance authors to offer our books in big romance bundles on Kindle Unlimited! I'm in three at the minute and there are hundreds of books to browse - have at it at the links below :)

Also, I've almost finished writing FREED - Book 3 in my prison bully dark romance trilogy. (I've added a Book 4 - RELEASED - to the set, but that's a bonus epilogue story whereas FREED completes the trilogy arc.) FREED is out on 10 July and I'll be offering ARCs from the 6th or 7th. I'll put the link up here when it's ready.

But in the meantime... load up your Kindle with some of these:

Hi everyone,

I've been writing like a maniac and am so chuffed to announce that HUNTED - BREAKING THE YOC 2 is now finished, edited and ready for release two months early!

The publication date is 6 May. Want to read before then, for free? Get your Advance Review Copy here - I'd love to know what you think!

Stay safe, stay well,

McCann’s gone not just white but fucking see-through.
Now, watching her go ghostlike in the flickering flames under the bright stars – as this man holds out a handshake and she wisps her fingers phantomlike over his – now I know.
“Cara,” I say after the man walks from us, leading us to the campfire although we don’t follow.
The way her face turns towards me when I use her name nearly breaks my fucking heart.

EARLY RELEASE! HUNTED – BREAKING THE YOC Book 2 is coming out two months early!



Celebratory early-bird discount until April 25:
check it out here.

If you haven't read CAPTURED yet, download a FREE sample here.

NB - as this is a series, both CAPTURED and HUNTED end on a cliffhanger. HEA coming.
