Review – Song of Stars

Song of Stars is an F/F fantasy romance with childhood friends to rivals to lovers. If you were ever in band, competitive sports, debate club, or anything else where you were judged harshly as a kid/young adult, this book is for you! It's spicy but sweet, prickly but affectionate.

F/F dark romance books

Here's a short list of F/F novels (>50k words, some over 100k) with dark romance elements (that is, with dubious consent and/or non-consensual elements but with a happy ever after or happy for now ending). Most of these are standalones and all have some kind of BDSM-adjacent aspects. Links may be NSFW.

Review – The Fear

This story was intensely compelling and I’m glad I read it. If you enjoy dysfunctional sapphics like I do and if you don’t mind reading a pandemic horror right now, you should give it a try.

Review – Women in Gray

A dark F/F domestic/psychological thriller where damaged people do awful things to each other. It was soooo good.
