“Had I known the devil would have taken a blowjob, I might not have offered him my soul.”
Dany was never meant to survive.
When a night full of terrors leaves her standing at Hell’s gates, Dany makes a deal with the Devil—her soul in exchange for a second chance at life and bloody revenge. A predator disguised as prey, she hunts in the dark, delivering souls to Lucifer to keep herself alive. Love, though, was never part of the plan.
Then came Joe.
Charming, selfless, and good in all the ways Dany forgot existed, Joe makes her believe she could be more than a monster. With him, she’s not just a killer. She’s a woman, alive and wanted. But love is never that simple.
Lucifer still lingers in the shadows, testing her fire and defiance. Each encounter leaves her bare and teetering between salvation and utter damnation.
As secrets unravel and Dany’s past refuses to stay buried, she is faced with an impossible the man who makes her feel human or the monster who brings her to life.
In a world where no one is innocent, how do you decide who is worth saving?
A dark romantic comedy, Unwanted is a story of obsession, betrayal, and the terrifying realization that the one thing more dangerous than the devil you know is the man that you don’t.

To answer your question at the end….this Darling is definitely obsessed!
Dany and Luci are just what I needed! They have banter, sass, #squad vibes, kick ass female energy, desire and heat, pining; though Dawn makes us think it’s all a crush Dany has but weaves in little bits that Luci is fighting against his want for her, and some “it was always you” to squeal over. I loved the little love triangle vibes between Dany, Lucifer, and Joe and it throws an interesting wrench into the story. Everything is not always as it seems and I love those plots! I like being Nancy Drew on the case to try and figure out how it’s going to go. Everything leads up to a satisfying HEA (though I could read these two for way more lol). There’s twists that even got me and it’s packed with witty characters, action moments, and some super hot scenes! I cackled out loud at Dany’s one liners and her grunge rock style. She made a deal with the Devil and got way more than she bargained for (in more ways than one). There were also moments to tug at your heart strings a little but overall this book is a fast, fun read that you don’t want to put down!
Please make sure to check your TW/CW ad this book deals with darker themes like SA on page, murder, revenge, religious jokes/lore (God, Lucifer, Angels/Demons, Heaven and Hell, Biblical history with a twist).
I read as a Beta/ARC reader and my thoughts are my own.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I didn't have to make a deal with Lucifer for this book but I gladly would have. I dove into this wanting something gritty, dark, and spicy and damn did it hit the mark 10 fold.
Dawn Darling weaves a perfect line between the sass-mouthed present day Dany and the invisible strings tethering her to the past to give us a story that is both a fun - if you like a trigger menu - read and tackles some serious shit.
Unwanted takes you through themes of trauma, self worth, and empowerment side by side with a good dose of artistic unaliving, banter, tension, and seduction. It straddles that line of dark rom-com well without being cringy and I ate up every moment.

Unwanted has it all…unhinged banter, explicit spice, and stabby, psychotic tendencies. The clever mis-dircetions and the imaginative twists and turns are brilliant.
I was obsessed with Dany and Lucifer’s relationship. My only complaint is that we didn’t get more of them.
Two Unwanted souls. One forbidden love. Zero fucking shits to give. (Unwanted quote.)
They say you should never make a deal with the devil. Thankfully, Dawn Darling came along and proved them wrong! 😈

Unwanted by Dawn Darling is a dark comedic paranormal romance.
This is the first book of Dawn's that I have read, and it won't be my last. This is one of those books I don't want to give any spoilers away so I will just say I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't wait to see how it was all going to play out. I really enjoyed the twists throughout the book.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a dark romance, paranormal romance, or romantic comedy.

This was such a quick, fun, and enjoyable read! I love how creative it is! It was not predictable (in all the best ways), and took some turns I wasn’t expecting and loved even more for it! It was funny, dark, spicy and thrilling and just what I needed!
Thank you so incredibly much to the author for an advanced reader copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review, and all thoughts are my own.

This was so unexpected. I loved this storyline of a sort of vigilante. I was not expecting f the story to take the turn it did in the end. Sometimes you can guess right away and I was shocked. Dany and Luci had some of the best banter and it kept me wanting more. Totally worth a read! I received this as an ARC and am willingly leaving a review.

Ooooo this was juicy. I’m so that girl that lives a book with blood and revenge. This was thrilling to read. Once again I’m falling for the villian even though he is the devil but I truly loved the different pov of the fall. Definitely a must read!
