Roommates: A Dark Sapphic Romance

by Cassie Hargrove

A hazing gone wrong. That’s what they’re saying happened… problem is, I know better.



I know who Melanie is. We may not have been roommates for long yet, but I know her. I know the way she smiles when she’s thought of something particularly cute or funny. The way her breath comes faster when I get too close.



I know she’s sweet and innocent. She’s also mine. They chose the wrong woman to hurt, and they’ll pay dearly for that choice.



It’s time for me to take over the family business. Learn the ropes and be who I was always meant to be. But unlike my father, I’m going to play with my prey first.



** Roommates is a dark sapphic romance where there is no tension between the couple. The problems lie with outside forces. **

Wow, this book was nuts! Revenge at its finest ✨🤌🏽 I’ve been on a dark romance kick lately and this book did not disappoint. I loved it but I do wish the book was longer or part of a series. I want more Daria and Mel.

2.5 i fear this just wasn’t for me… i think i struggle the most with books under 400 pages because they often feel rushed. this book was insta love to the max. bc what do you mean “i love you” after 1 week 🤔 anyways i am also such an enemies to lovers girl this lowkey pained me

[Erika Weiderstrom]

This book was so cringy.

[Terp]

Did not enjoy the writing but I finished it because it was so fast paced and I refrain from DNFing unless I really have to. The book left me feeling icky and I cannot say that I recommend. Make sure to read the content warnings if you decide to read the book.

I did not like this book. It was really rushed, and the ending was too quick.

I loved the plot of the book, a ”cute” romance with a dark thriller. But because it was only 260 pages it was a lot to unpack. If the book had been a little longer I would have loved it.

I havent read much sapphic books but when I saw the description of roommates and dark romance I was sold its been hard for find a good sapphic story and I finally found on that kept me hooked and I fell hard for Daria and mel . I was an emotional mess when they hurt Melanie she did nothing to deserve that , and no one does.

Kane and Carlos had their friendship , the way they made Daria safe and knew how to protect herself no matter where she was, and Daria is so much like her father .

I love how dark Daria is cause she knows the world is not good to women I know it broke her when she felt like she failed mel when that disgusting Matt and deedra turned mel life into chaos and helplessness I just wanted comfort mel so bad.

( When I saw the reviews before reading, i was so disappointed cause I love this book. I didn't have any issues at all, but with dark sapphic romance, always read the tw if it isn't your vibe . I wanted more of Daria and Melanie. I love the connection they had from the moment they met, and the darkness in Daria was addicting)

Completely underwhelming is probably the nicest thing I can say about this book. Gotta love the taste of absolutely nothing.

[MissAlice]

Yes. All the warnings. Read them multiple times and I still cringed and hairy-eyeballed some passages. Oof. That was some ending, and I enjoyed the Kane POV chapter more than I thought I would. Proud dad lets his murderous daughter extract some vigilante justice. The MCs have a love that’s armed to its teeth and the rest is history. Gore galore. Enjoy!

[Chelles]

Sometimes, justice comes in the form of revenge. And sometimes, revenge is done by a contract killer's daughter. The perfect theme of this book is "Be careful who you mess with."

I love Daria and Melanie's connection. I love how protective Daria is over her. The father-daughter relationships were actually very sweet in this story - considering the content. It's a dark romance, so please check the TWs... but it's a very good revenge story as well!!

[Lora]

An okay, light read. I had to put myself in a similar headspace to when I watch anime - “okay, let’s just go along with this even if it’s completely unrealistic”.

One sex scene in particular had me texting my partner asking how exactly is that position possible.

I liked the concept, but the execution felt quite rushed. If it had been fleshed out into a longer book, especially after a “certain traumatic event”, maybe it would’ve worked better for me.

[MelancHolly24]

Phew, this was a wild ride. Sometimes you just need a book where the conflict comes from outside forces and our two main characters are ride or die. It was nice to see Daria and Mel fall hard and fast and I loved the silly and loving dialogue between them. The triggering parts are heartbreaking but thankfully some is not on page.

I hope this author write more sapphic stories in the future.

[cierra]

[Carly Tourigny]

Ended too abruptly, but a good quick read!
