SPOILERS SPOILERS & MORE SPOILERS
The room is sweltering, the vibes are chaotic, and the margarita is cold—perfect conditions to pull apart a dark romance that thrives on tension, not shock. We jump straight into KV Rose’s The Monster of Hotel Number Seven with full spoilers, tracing how the book dodges the obvious trap of confinement-and-violation and instead builds a slow-burn that feels earned, human, and dangerously tender. If you read for the ache—the almost, the pause, the swallow—this one hits where it counts.
Come for the spoilers, stay for the craft talk, and leave with a sharper lens for tension, consent, and narrative control in dark romance. If you’re as hyped for The Scientist as we are, hit play, then tell us your boldest theory.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
