Oopsie doopsie! We lost a file, found a file, had to re-edit… but enough with the non-dark romance shenanigans… we’re back! And we’re back with one of our favorite Dark Romance Reads by one of our favorite Dark Romance Peeps: Wicked Games by Zoe Blake. Joins us as we try to unscramble our brains after this absolutely unhinged mind fuck… to the point where Tori and Nat couldn’t come to an agreement on multiple points in this book - including, whether or not this was in fact a Romance, Tori says no, Nat says yes… who do you agree with? As always, check the triggers and enjoy!
