Ok. Hope to get more on the list. I am kinda fascinated with romance of such questionable nature. Almost sick.
The Administration, In these Words...but where's Bloodraven? I'm going tho fix that..if that wasn't love I don't know what is.;p
Wheeeeee... the party is going A okay here! Glad you guys love the list. I was wondering why it wasn't on Listopia already. Despite that this is what actually make many of us tick. Yes, yes, I forgot about Bloodraven. And I am going to put these graphic novel in -
,
,
. It's an amazing prison gangbang and politics series by Mika Sadahiro called Under Grand Hotel. UGH in short. It is twisted romance alright even with the ugly realities of being in such an unforgiving place where everyone fights for dominance for survival. Where the weak ones struggle for protection for the same reason. To stay alive. There's pain and violence in it of course, since we are talking about prison. But there's also intense love and trust. Love so intense it borderlines on obsession.The art is amazing in my book too. Very hawt stuff.
Hmmm.... somehow, it feels like I am writing a review of it here. A short one. lol

Great list starter Kyn, thanks Jen for inviting me to vote on it - may not have noticed it for a while. I'll add a few of my favorites. :)

Jen, thanks for inviting more peeps here. :D This is awesome. I am hanging onto this list as my next-to-read. ;)

But yea, I have to reluctantly agree tat it has love in it however super twisted it was....it's there. This book makes me cringe.

You are liking this list too I presume?
You better try your best to get tat one fast if you have the chance. I am forever grateful for Bookdepository for mine. Now they are out of stock there too. Glad I snatched it up fast the last time. So proud that I now owe a collectors item.I am just worried I might not be as lucky when 2nd book comes out. *biting nails*

Yes! There was definitely the most twisted of 'love' in that one! Lush and Tam... the two psychopaths...
Kynthosyuat wrote: "You better try your best to get tat one fast if you have the chance. I am forever grateful for Bookdepository for mine. Now they are out of stock there too. Glad I snatched it up fast the last time..."I look at Bookdepository. I've heard of it but not familiar. I found it on Ebay for $30 though, which is doable. Surely the second one will be easier to get - right after release anyway?
Elizabetta wrote: "Yes! There was definitely the most twisted of 'love' in that one! Lush and Tam... the two psychopaths... "Yup. Not debatable. It IS love but in a very sickly depraved way. So please go ahead. You may have the honor of adding it. lol
Anna (Bananas!) wrote: "Kynthosyuat wrote: "You better try your best to get tat one fast if you have the chance. I am forever grateful for Bookdepository for mine. Now they are out of stock there too. Glad I snatched it u..."Last I check on bookdepository, it was out of stock. So grab tat ebay one already. If it is already at $30 then it's going to be 100 in my currency. *faints*
About that 2nd book, I am just worried that there might not be enough prints to all those fans waiting for it. They might be faster than me. I am miles away too :(

Done! Now vote for it me hearties!
Anna (Bananas!) wrote: "Kynthosyuat wrote: "You better try your best to get tat one fast if you have the chance. I am forever grateful for Bookdepository for mine.

And make sure it's the English version. Sometimes they're a bit vague about that.

Was Not His Kiss To Take that twisted?:/ I thought it was just a normal sexy romance... That slight kink the doctor had doesn't seem that twisted.Maybe I'm just slowly but steadily getting more depraved though.;p

Same line of thought here about tat one tat's why I didn't vote on it. Not so sure if it fits here. But *shrugs* everyone has different level of perception.
I'll shell out $50-$60 if I have to. I've paid as much for an art book I really wanted before. Totally worth it. :)I did notice the Japanese versus English versions so I'm keeping an eye out for that as well.
*Keeps fingers crossed* Goodluck!Tell us when you got your hands on it kay.
It feels like you are treasure hunting here. lol. But this is a treasure not to be missed.
Vivian wrote: "I almost feel depraved now. I wouldn't count a lot of the top ten as twisted. :D"Uhm yeah, I think maybe you have to moderate this list at some point Kyn. Before you know it, Cut & Run probably ends up taking the number 1 position again, regardless of the subject of the list.;p
Please help me point out those questionable ones. Because I haven't read most of em. So I really couldn't tell. Lol. Tough one. :P
I may be wrong but I don't think Thirty Days qualifies as twisted. It is a BDSM relationship but a healing one in my opinion, nothing twisted about it. The sub's previous "master" was the sick one.

Anyone else second this claim? Please voice your opinion now. TQ

I think Kynth is right that it's a matter of perception. My reading can get pretty depraved I think but I did not consider this a 'normal' romance -- esp. in the beginning, though it may have evolved into one eventually. Then again, NHKTT was my first 'medical kink' book and if I read more I may eventually find this one lighter fare.
Kynth, I'm wondering if there's anyway to tighten up your heading...maybe say 'twisted love that is the focus of the story, demonstrated on page, and on-going' or something like that... So with Venecia's comment about 'Thirty Days' (which I haven't read) if the twisted part is off page or not highlighted, it wouldn't belong on the list...
Anna (Bananas!) wrote: "YES :DI hadn't heard of many of these. New books! But I'm really salivating for In These Words."
I've been WANTING to read this, lol, (love PL Nunn's graphic stuff too) but the price is so prohibitive... $7/chapter!!!! I may have to break down though 'cause it is truly beautiful and so naughty.
Hmmm good idea Eliz. I like tat. Can I copy it from you verbatim? :P Please?By the way, I have added some more tags to help define this. What do you think of it? Thanks
Sure, no prob. Others may have some suggestions too. I love your tags, btw :)
Wondering... how about adding 'incest' and 'twincest' ? (I'm so depraved I don't really consider this 'twisted' but this is a 'trigger' genre for many so probably should belong here too.
Lol. Okay E. Alright E, I have just re-edited the requirements. Can you help me take a look at it please? TQ for your help so far. I really appreciate it.
Ah, I like that. It makes it clearer and will help keep your editing job down hopefully.One little thing -- correct sp. to 'demonstrated'
Someone feels like adding Fog? I sure as hell don't, but it sort of completely belongs on this list. Lol.
Anna (Bananas!) wrote: "Anyone know some good incest/twincest books to add? "Good" being the most important part.""Fuck you!"
"Don't mind if I do.."
Gotta love twincest jokes.:p I remember Karen writing a hilarious review for a twincest book. Have to look it up..
Twincest: The Center of Earth and Sky and its sequel but here's the conundrum...definitely twincest but the story is kinda sweet so can you still call it twisted? What do others think?
