Four Dark Romance Finales Dropped on the Same Day

Four series I’ve been following ended in a single afternoon, and Raven Kennedy picked the same date to open a brand new world.

I haven’t read any of them yet, so treat everything here as a first look rather than a review. But the shape of the day is worth marking.

The finales

Rachel Gillig’s The Knave and the Moon closes the Stonewater Kingdom duology. Its predecessor, The Knight and the Moth, went to number one on the New York Times list, so this one carries a lot of expectation on its back. Both Parade and Darling Reader had it near the top of their September lists.

The Cannibal by I.V. Ophelia ends the Poisoner trilogy. It’s gothic, it’s paranormal, and the heroine is a poisoner. That combination tells you most of what you need to know about the tone.

Emma Hamm wraps her dark romantasy trilogy with The Endless One. If you started that series and drifted, this is the reason to go back and finish.

The other two

Penelope Douglas goes somewhere new with Midnight Curfew. It’s m/m, enemies to lovers, and built around two feuding families in Florida. At 544 pages it is not a quick one. Penguin Random House has the full description if you want the setup before you buy.

And then there’s The Sweetest Fiend, Raven Kennedy’s first new world since Plated Prisoner. That series sold somewhere past six million copies, so a fresh duology from her is a genuine event for the genre.

I’ll be reading through these across the month and writing up the ones that earn it. What’s at the top of your list?
