I devoured in one sitting. Trisha Wolfe doesn’t write stories, I swear she possesses you. Her words crawl under your skin and set your imagination on fire. LOVESICK is poetic and intoxicating. My eyes burned to keep reading, my brain worked overtime catching every layer. My heart beating with a new rhythm that was everything Collins and Orion. LOVESICK wasn’t merely a dark romance… it was the cosmos tearing itself open in beautiful chaos.

This is a serious case of “I’m done with the book but the book isn’t done with me” I’m staring into spaces lost into this universe a burning star waiting for its inevitable demise, I want to stay into this universe but gravity is pulling me mercilessly into the real world…

I’m forever grateful to the voices speaking to this amazing woman, every time Trisha brings us a story I’m pulled into an endless vortex of emotions. If you asked me “are you into astrophysics” I’d look at you with a puzzled expression and yet if you ask me after reading this first instalment I’d say “I’m obsessed”.

The universe, the tides and astrophysics all took an entirely new perspective. I can suddenly see magic and poetry where void existed. Woven into this mysterious science lay a heart wrenching story. Orion and Collins took residence in my heart and slowly burrowed into my soul, they invaded my mind, where they now live rent free, and still not happy they went deep into my marrow. They didn’t simply leave a mark, they left an imprint and if I weren’t a scaredy cat I’d tattoo a star pattern on my skin.

Collins is a formidable woman with a painful past, on a mission to avenge her old self whose voice has been stolen from her, she aims at Orion Night as her target. Orion is a devastatingly handsome and brilliant astrophysicist with his own secrets and dark side. As they collide their union shakes the universe, colliding forces are at war, each trying to find out what that other is looking for. A game of pray and predator where the roles are seamlessly reversed, until you don’t know who is what, and when you think you have it figured out, the author plunges you into a black hole with a starry plot twist.

The story is told in dual POV and Trisha does an amazing job building this universe with each carefully laid out word. Her unique and unparalleled prose is a journey to savour slowly and with abandon, I craved each metaphor and structured parallel. I discovered new truths about the cosmo and learned about fireflies and their daunting mating rituals. And after I was done I felt an incredible need for more, more of this story and more these characters and although I died on that cliffhanger, I’m also rejoicing because we will have another book about them and I’ll be waiting for them while staring at the stars, admiring starlings and looking with knowing eyes at the fireflies.

LOVESICK is Book 1 in the Darkness Behind the Stars duet—and it absolutely woke up and chose chaos. 🖤✨

Collins Holbrook’s life is split clean in two: before she died… and after him. A ViCAP crime analyst who lives for patterns, profiles, and predators, Collins is deep in the Reaper Killings—a serial case spanning nine states and five years.

Her investigation leads her to Stonehurst University and straight into the orbit of Dr. Orion Night:
✨ brilliant astrophysicist
✨ celebrated genius
✨ quietly, terrifyingly unbalanced

The university has worked overtime to keep his instability under wraps, trusting in-house psych evaluations to determine the risk he poses. Collins is brought in to do what she does best—observe, assess, and decide just how dangerous Orion truly is.

Because obviously, nothing could go wrong. 🔥

What unfolds is a dark academia, slow-burn thriller romance dripping with obsession, revenge, and that razor-thin line between brilliance and madness. Lovesick asks the haunting question:
What happens when memory outlives death—and love becomes the most dangerous force in the universe? 🌌

Trisha absolutely snapped with this one—mind-bending twists, a brutal cliffhanger, and the kind of story that rewires your brain and leaves you staring at the ceiling questioning everything.
Proceed with caution. And maybe snacks. 🖤📚

4.5 stars - thank you for the ARC!

I’ve anxiously awaited this book since the author first mentioned writing it, and having an advanced copy made my entire year. It was beautiful and such a great twisted mix of mystery, thriller, dark romance, and surprisingly sci-fi. I will be on pins and needles until the story continues in the next book.

𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒌 was so worth the wait! Trisha doesn’t just write words. This penetrated every part of my mind and soul. She give us another unforgettable story that will be carved into my mind until we get more. Collins Holbrook and Orion Night was an unexpected plot twist that I didn’t see coming.
This easily made my list of top reads of 2026. ♾️ stars.

I didn’t give more of a review with this being such an anticipated book I don’t want to spoil anyone’s reading experience. I can say that Collins is fierce and strong and I can’t wait to hear what she wants to tell us still. Orion ahh this man stole my heart. I was 😭😭😭😭😭 the last several chapters. She always does this to me I am not sure I’m prepared for what comes next.

Lovesick is not a book you simply read. It’s one you devour until it becomes one with your existence. It burrows under your skin, rearranges your understanding of obsession, and dares you to sit with the uncomfortable truth that love—real love—can be both luminous and catastrophic.

At its core, this story is about inevitability. About gravity. About what happens when two brilliant, damaged forces enter the same orbit and neither is capable of escaping the pull. Orion Night is obsession personified—brilliant, unhinged, and painfully self-aware. His desire isn’t subtle or gentle; it’s consuming, and it knows exactly what it is:

“It’s fucking written in the stars. From the moment Collins entered my orbit, there was one thing I understood unequivocally: She was mine. She belonged to me.” -Orion

Collins Holbrook is equally compelling—sharp, layered, and far more dangerous than she initially appears. Watching her unfold is both devastating and empowering, especially as the cost of her choices becomes clear. There is no easy path here, no clean morality—only survival, sacrifice, and intent.

What makes Lovesick exceptional is how seamlessly it braids astrophysics, psychology, and desire into a single narrative thread. The science is never decorative; it is directly correlated to the story. The metaphors land because they’re earned, and the parallels between cosmic phenomena and human behavior are handled with incredible care.

Orion’s fixation isn’t about possession alone—it’s about understanding, about confronting the darkness head-on:

“I’m desperate to unwrap my anomaly, to tear her open and discover what hidden danger haunts her dark corners. There’s a monster in her past, and I want to wrestle with it.” -Orion

The intimacy is heavy, slow, and suffocating in the best way. Even when the prose pulls back, the tension doesn’t. Every interaction feels charged, dangerous, and intimate—like standing too close to something that could destroy you:

“My senses come alive, wanting to experience the ruthless feel of his touch. Touched by the hands of death.” - Collins

And threaded through everything is the book’s defining truth—the line that perfectly encapsulates Lovesick in a single breath:

“For everything beautiful in the universe, there exists a terrifying symmetry. What is luminous and breathtakingly full of wonder is mirrored by its opposite. Shadows that are desolate and horrifying, brimming with destruction and decay.” - Orion

This is dark academia at its most cerebral. A romance that doesn’t soften its edges. A story that understands obsession as both hunger and gravity. Lovesick is haunting, intelligent, brutal, and beautiful—and once it takes hold, it does not let go.

Lovesick is not a romance meant to be read with a calm heart. It’s a story that unsettles you, pulls you apart, and forces you to question what love really means when desire, obsession, and emotional darkness become tangled together. Trisha Wolfe once again proves that her strength lies not in writing pretty love stories, but in exploring love that hurts, festers, and feels almost like an illness.

From the very first pages, it’s clear this isn’t a conventional romance. The narrative is deeply introspective, heavy with psychological tension, and wrapped in an unsettling atmosphere that follows you through every chapter. There’s a constant sense of emotional danger, as if you’re stepping into territory where no one walks away unscathed—and that’s exactly what makes the book impossible to put down.

The story centers on Collins Holbrook and Orion Night, two deeply broken characters who aren’t looking to be saved.
Collins, the female protagonist, is a fascinating character: intelligent, intense, and shaped by a way of feeling that exists outside the norm. Her narrative voice is raw, uncomfortable, and at times painfully intimate. She doesn’t soften her impulses or try to justify them, and that honesty makes her feel incredibly real.

Orion Night is the perfect counterbalance and, at the same time, a dark reflection of Collins. He’s magnetic, reserved, and disturbing in that quiet, understated way Trisha Wolfe writes so well. His connection with Collins isn’t built on stability or safety, but on mutual recognition of their shadows. They don’t promise each other light; they offer understanding.

What struck me most about Lovesick is that the relationship is never romanticized. Love doesn’t heal here. It doesn’t fix or redeem. Instead, it’s obsessive, consuming, and at times destructive. Wolfe explores how desire can turn into dependency, and how two people can find each other precisely because they’re equally damaged.

The prose is dense, poetic in places, and brutally honest in others. Some scenes aren’t meant to please—they’re meant to provoke a visceral reaction. This novel feels more like a psychological character study than a traditional romance, which is exactly what makes it so powerful and unforgettable.

Lovesick is a perfect read for lovers of dark, psychological, morally gray romance. It isn’t comfortable or light, but it is deeply immersive. Collins and Orion linger in your mind because they represent a version of love that’s rarely shown without filters.

YES. YES. AND ABSOLUTELY YES.
Trisha Wolfe is that author for me—and LOVESICK (Darkness Behind the Stars, Book 1) just casually rearranged my brain chemistry.

This book didn’t just entertain me, it consumed me. The plot? A masterpiece. The attention to detail? Surgical. The characters? Painfully perfect. I finished the last page and had to sit there… staring into the void… because WHAT DID I JUST READ?! And that cliffhanger? Cruel. Illegal. I need book two immediately.

Lovesick is a dark, intoxicating exploration of obsession, revenge, memory, and love—the kind of love that doesn’t save you, it destroys you beautifully. It drifts between past and present in a slow, deliberate way that demands patience… and rewards you for it. This is not a book you rush. This is a book you savor.

The tension is feral. Trisha Wolfe has a gift for turning the smallest moments into absolute devastation. The yearning builds. The restraint burns. And when these two finally collide? Violent. Explosive. So satisfying it hurts.

Orion Night—listen. This man will ruin you. A dark, tortured, filthy-mouthed genius with touch aversion and a mind that lives in the shadows. Every word out of his mouth is unfiltered chaos, and yes, I would absolutely let him destroy my life.
Collins Holbrook is everything I want in a FMC. Strong, seductive, cunning, and never to be underestimated. She may show cracks, but make no mistake—she’s lethal.

This chapter of their story is wrapped in tragedy, but it’s far from over. I am now sitting here, not patiently, waiting for Trisha Wolfe to put me out of my misery.

✨ This is the kind of book that alters you.
✨ Dark academia. Obsession. Stars. Madness. Love.
✨ Read it. Then come scream with me.

I received a complimentary ARC. This is my honest, unhinged review.

Lovesick is a dark academia story about Dr. Orion Night and Dr. Collins Holbrook exploring revenge, obsession, and the universe in darkness behind stars. A star might be the only thing that can save him.

There is a killer aligning bodies with constellations in a ritualistic manner. Dr. Collins was invited to Stonehurst University to counsel Dr. Orion an astrophysicist. Dr. Orion is working on groundbreaking research to define dark matter.

With revenge in Collins blood she studies Orion for signs of violence. Orions obsession with Collins takes hold of his attention causing a distraction he can’t control. The universe plays tricks as the constellations of the galaxy provide secrets to questions yet unanswered.

Trisha Wolfe gifts her readers with academic literature and scientific research. You will leave this story feeling well educated on all things Star related. With character Dr. Orion Night you know you’re about to be tantalized with knowledgeable information.

I wish my reading level matched Trisha’s writing knowledge. I’m sure she dummed it down except my mind still can’t process the information being presented. Unfortunately, this causes a break in the cycle for me preventing me from fully capturing the essence of this story. I have mad respect for Wolfe’s writing style I just wish my brain would be able to comprehend what she’s writing.

It’s the gift of scientific poetry. An entire universe of poetry written in the stars. Wolfe’s writing is masterful. There’s beauty in the craft of her writing talent.

When you first start reading you get Immediate call backs to The Hollows Row trilogy. WhenI made that realization I was a complete goner for this book and these characters! Orion is Kallum Locke’s long lost cousin in another dimension! Kallum walked so Orion could run!!!!! You have an Agent investigating ritualistic murders and some Dark psychology. But while these elements call back to hollows row, they are also different. Rather than being used under the lens of philosophy we are now seeing the world through the teachings of astrology and astronomy! You start out with a festering need to deep dive into Collins’ past. To nestle yourself into the dark corners of her mind and only emerge when Orion is near so you a bear witness to the draw he has. And oh does that man know to how hold one captive. The show burn, THE YEARNING! Nothing would please me more than to be in his orbit. Trisha knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense and how to keep your mind scrambling to figure out the mystery she has dangling in your face. You feel like you know the answer from the get go. It’s sitting right on the periphery of your mind but Trisha makes you look another way and start a new line of thoughts! In the end Trisha has given you so much of what you want and need from each character that you’re seemingly satiated until you read that last sentence and realize it’s over but you’re still needing more!

This is the kind of book that alters your brain chemistry.
The story slowly unfolded in a deliberate dance of past and present that kept me on the edge of my seat regardless of the pace. This is a book written to be savored.

The tension was off the charts. Trisha has a gift for taking a seemingly simple moment and making it absolutely devastating. Let's just say our MMC with a touch aversion gets very creative. When these two finally collided the culmination of all that yearning was violent and oh so satisfying.

I was absolutely entranced by the characters.
Orion - the kind of book boyfriend who will ruin you for all others. Every word out of his mouth was pure, unfiltered filth. A dark and tortured soul you can't help but wanting to fix, even if I already think he's pretty perfect.
Collins - I love a strong FMC, and Collins is a big contender for one of my faves. Even if she shows signs of weakness, do not underestimate her. She is seductive and cunning - a lethal combination.

And after 465 of pages of pure poetry... it only took five little words to completely unravel me.
This chapter of their story was wrapped in a tragic bow, but it's far from over. I will now sit here and wait not so patiently for Trisha Wolfe to put me out of my misery.

I received a complimentary ARC. This is my honest review.

ARC review: 4.5⭐️ Trisha wolf is a a genius. Her mind is incredible. This book was INSANE, INCREDIBLE IN EVERY SINGLE WAY POSSIBLE. This book and the writing absolutely consumed my mind, body, my very being. The writing was magnificent, like more than perfection, it was so poetic and the storytelling was so intoxicating. The words sucked me in, in ways I cannot even explain. This had some of the most beautiful quotes I’ve read. My god i’m still amazed. The astrsonomy was so interesting and I loved how much this book made me learn. Also the ending had me gasping for breath? How the fuck am I supposed to survive until book two.

The academia vibes were immaculate, the plot had me so hooked, the characters are dark and complex and so multilayered and their connection and tension was so explosive, I could feel every line and every breath they took, my god I loved Collins & Orion. They were a beautiful symphony of toxicity but so perfect for each other. The mystery was so insanely well done and the twists were so good, and the slowburn was excruciating but oh so amazing😍

I cannot express how lucky I am to have been able to read this as an ARC.

I felt transported to a place that felt like my own wee hometown (seaside and driech) with a Glasgow style uni. The world building is descriptive and Trisha does an amazing job at setting all the scenes needed to Collins and Orion; dune-side crime scenes and academic observatories included.

This book is deep and thoughtful, exploring lots of crazy spacey stuff. As always, I felt like I was getting an education while reading - which adds to my awe of the author (who does so much research!)

As well as the nerdy stuff, there's also yearning and neediness from the characters that feel like waves ebbing to shore slowly, but inevitably, ending in a loud crashing of waves and sand. And when they crash... boy do they make an impact!

The way the character's stories are told is just brilliant. I can't say too much without spoilers, but I think it was done so well.

The last lines of this book are just ... so much! I was staring at a wall for about five minutes trying to digest it.

Orion and Collins ... not the new Kallum and Halen, but ... let's wait and see... 🫣

Upon finishing Lovesick, I reflected upon each chapter and have made up my mind that this story, in it's entirety, is a love letter from the author to victims and quite possibly herself.

There was a thread of fantasy-esque vision in the formation of the FMC's character, in my opinion. And I think if Trisha's goal was to show resilience, beauty after all the "ugly", and hope for all the tomorrow's they think are doomed...then I believe she truly nailed it. The heart of this story felt like encouragement, optimism, and believing in possibilities rather than dead ends.

With all that being said, I did have a few minor critiques and that is the reason for my rating. But, I am truly looking forward to the next installment!


Thank you so much to Trisha Wolfe for the advanced reading copy!

WOW! I swear Trisha does not write just stories she crafts captivating tales that leaves one spellbound. Receiving the arc for this book was such a nice surprise and I completely devoured this.

The story of Orion and Collins is intense, riveting and downright feral. A love that begins as a spark of attraction and soon blossoms into an undeniable fixation.

Dr Orion Night is a legend in astrophysics. He is always in search of an all consuming force, the darkness behind the stars, he needs the danger, the rush, until her.
Dr. Collin Holbrook is a crime analyst. Her search leads her to Stonehurst University where she meets Orion. Together, the two of them dive deep into a romance that is dark, deep and beautiful.

If you are interested in a dark romance with tropes like dark academia, he falls first, star crossed lovers, cosmic serial killer and astrophysicist x psychologist do give this a chance!

Collins’ descent into darkness is eloquently displayed, and as a reader, you don’t just witness it—you fall with her. The unraveling is intimate and consuming, written in a way that makes every step toward the edge feel inevitable and hauntingly.

Orion’s meticulous fixation on galaxies, constellations, and cosmic patterns makes him emotionally compelling, adding depth and intensity to his unraveling connection with Collins.It adds a layered depth to his character that feels both mesmerizing and dangerous.

Every line feels intentional, every moment charged, as obsession, fate, and darkness collide. It’s a beautifully written, atmospheric journey into the unknown—dark, compelling, and impossible to look away from.

88 Constellations because 5 stars just aren't enough! 🌠

I love Trisha's writing, and as a huge cosmology nerd, this was my most anticipated read for 2026, and not only did it not disappoint, it exceeded all expectations! 🌌

Orion and Collions are complex and intriguing characters that I enjoyed getting to know. Their story was a thrilling ride, beautifully written, filled with great quotes and an awesome playlist guiding through it.

Was hooked from the first page, immensely enjoyed the different cosmology references threaded throughout the prose. Already looking forward to reading it again. ✨

Trisha served up a dark, addictive ride full of cosmic tension, jaw-dropping twists, and a cliffhanger that left me lying awake, completely obsessed with Orion & Collins. 🖤😭

Dark, thrilling, and haunting, this story is living rent-free in my head. They’ve officially ruined me. I can’t stop thinking about them. Their chemistry is magnetic, twisted, and utterly consuming.

✨️ She is that devastatingly perfect chord held in aching suspension, waiting for the beautiful, inevitable resolution.

Trisha nails it every time.

She combines ritualistic crime, serial unalivers, and dark romance- keeps me coming back every time. It amazes me the amount of research that must go into writing a book like this - the astrophysics of it all. It blew my mind.

Trisha gave me everything I needed in this book - the YEARNING (oh so good), tension, mystery, plot twists, and romance.

I’m now lovesick waiting for the next book!

Just finished reading Lovesick and I am already impatiently waiting for the next book. Trisha writes with so much passion and intelligence. I am overwhelmed by the scientific knowledge that she possess and instills into this book and its characters. There is amazing tension between the two characters that kept me on my toes the whole time. Each character has so much depth and layers. She is able to feed you crumbs to whole way, making you want to know more and more until it all comes together. As always, it was a great read!!

Lovesick didn’t just pull me in — it claimed me.
Trisha Wolfe doesn’t write romance; she writes obsession dressed up as destiny. Collins and Orion are devastatingly complex, dangerously magnetic, and emotionally feral in the best possible way. Their bond is not gentle — it is cosmic, combustible, and terrifyingly inevitable.
Blending astrophysics, fate, and psychological tension, Wolfe crafts a story that is as intelligent as it is visceral. I didn’t simply read this book — I orbited it.
Chef’s kiss. Absolutely unforgettable.

DAMN, this book took me on a ride. I literally wasn't sure where it was going, all the way through it.

Orion, the MMC, is completely unhinged - in the best but most accurate way possible. He is the level of obsessed with the FMC, that he cant live without her - literally!

• 'Undercover' FBI agent hunting a serial unaliver
• Slow burn, tension, will they won't they

Every time this author puts out a book, I get so excited. The way she writes just grabs onto me, sucks me into the read and doesn't let me go long after I've finished. This read was amazing as always, once I started I didn't want to stop. Orion and Collins are intense, to put it mildly. This read will twist your mind and leave you wanting more. I can't wait till these two reunite.

Excuse me while I go stare into the stars and question my whole entire existence. How do I move on after something like this? Its stunning. I couldn’t read it fast enough but I didn’t want it to end. If you want dark romance that will edge you into oblivion and then push you off a cliff, this is the one.
