The books
-
Hooked
Peter Pan, except Hook runs a criminal empire and Wendy is the daughter of the man he wants dead. Each book in the series is a different villain. Great entry point if you want dark romance that isn't relentless.
- Fairy Tale Retellings
- Villain Gets the Girl
- Mafia
- Revenge
Content warnings
Murder, Graphic violence, Death of a loved one
-
Scarred
A Lion King retelling told from Scar's side: a bitter second son, a crown he wants and a woman who should be off limits. Darker than Hooked.
- Fairy Tale Retellings
- Villain Gets the Girl
- Captor and Captive
- Forbidden Love
Content warnings
Kidnapping, Graphic violence, Murder
-
Wretched
The Wizard of Oz, villain-side. Evelina Westerly gets the Wicked Witch role, and the slow peel-back of who's actually the monster is the fun part. Standalone, so you can jump in here.
- Villain Gets the Girl
- Fairy Tale Retellings
- Morally Gray
- Revenge
Content warnings
Murder, Physical or emotional abuse, Graphic violence
-
Twisted
A dark take on Aladdin where the Jafar figure is the love interest. Yasmin is trapped in her father's world and the man circling her has his own reasons. Gloomier than Hooked and very obsessive.

- Fairy Tale Retellings
- Revenge
- Enemies to Lovers
Content warnings
