These books are for the “I need story and danger and obsession” crowd. They are all mildly dark or quite dark romance books that will satiate your need for a good plot without sacrificing on anything else.
This list consists of four series or duets that I loved amounting to a total of 20 books to add to your TBR right now.
1-6. Alabaster Penitentiary Series (Nyla K.)

Welcome to Alabaster Pen. Once you’re here, we won’t let you go. Now you are one of us.
Okay, that sounded way more ominous than it really is, it just sounds really cool. It is true, though. Once you are in Alabaster Pen, there is no leaving.
But against all odds, in this hell of a prison, some find the love everyone craves.
This is a full MM romance series (except for one book that is MMF) with an overarching plot ending in Ivory. It is filled with tension, spice and twists that will blow your mind.
7-8. Throne Duet (Rina Kent)

This is the mafia and here women don’t rule. You however, are the exception. In your search for power you are forced into an arranged marriage with a man from your past.
Yet, the question is, what is his motive? Why did he agree to this marriage? Is he after your throne?
9-14. Devil’s Night Series (Penelope Douglas)

We are the four Horsemen and you are better off not messing with us. But that doesn’t say that we won’t mess with you.
One by one each of the Horsemen find themselves a girl worthy of their obsession and will do anything in their power to get her. While each one of them are vastly different with their own secrets there is one thing that is sure, once you are on their radar, you’re not getting away.
15-20. Dark Verse Series (RuNyx)

The characters in these books are the definition of found family.
While each book is a standalone (except for this first two that are a duet), there is an overarching plot with tension and things that you will never expect.
With each book you will get closer to the actual criminal mastermind by uncovering secrets, old betrayals and hidden agendas.
Get ready, you are in for a wild ride.
