Hype Alert 🚨: The Dark & Powerful Romances Dropping This November

New month. New reads. New obsessions brewing. November is bringing us some of the most talked-about romance and romantasy releases of the year — and trust me, you’re going to want these waiting on your doorstep or Kindle the moment they drop. Here are two highly anticipated books already topping my TBR (and probably about to take over yours too 👀):

🐍 I, Medusa by Ayana Gray

📅 Releases November 18, 2025

This is my most anticipated release of the month — a powerful, rage-fueled reimagining of Medusa’s myth that flips the script on one of Greek mythology’s most misunderstood women.

Meddy has always lived in the shadow of her immortal family — until she’s offered a place among Athena’s priestesses and finally begins to carve out a destiny of her own. But when a betrayal by the gods transforms her into the monster of legend, she must decide whether she will remain a pawn in their cruel games… or rewrite her story entirely.

Explosive, emotional, and empowering, I, Medusa promises a story of vengeance, heartbreak, love, and the power of reclaiming your narrative.

☕ Coffee Pairing: A dark chocolate mocha — rich, bold, and impossible to ignore.

♟️ Bad Bishop by L.J. Shen

📅 Releases November 4, 2025

Dark. Delicious. Dangerous. If you love mafia romance with sharp edges and even sharper chemistry, this is the book you’ll be devouring this fall.

Lila’s life has been defined by tragedy — a teenage pregnancy, a devastating secret, and a father who sells her off to the highest bidder. That “bidder” happens to be Tiernan Callaghan, the Irish mafia prince whose empire is built on blood and betrayal. What starts as an arranged marriage quickly becomes a high-stakes game of power, passion, and unexpected protection.

Featuring age gap, enemies-to-lovers, morally gray heroes, and forbidden romance, Bad Bishop is a gripping, addictive read perfect for fans of dark, slow-burning tension.

☕ Coffee Pairing: A double-shot espresso — intense, bitter, and dangerously addictive.

✨ Hype Tip: Pre-order both now so they’re ready to devour the second they release — because if early buzz is anything to go by, I, Medusa and Bad Bishop are about to own the November book world.

📖 Favorite Friday: My Top 5 Romance Reads: (So Far This Year) 💘 1. Betting on You by Lynn Painter Why I loved it:  I loved how this book felt like a full-on rom-com, it was funny, heartfelt, and impossible to put down. Bailey and Charlie’s relationship completely won me over, especially the way he truly saw her & her little nickname for her "Glasses" . With so many twists and turns, I devoured it in just a few hours! Favorite Quote:  “When you’re in the room, every single cell in my body – every nerve, every muscle, every breath – is lost in you.”  💘 2. Throttled by Lauren Asher (One of My Favorite Authors! Also #1 in Series) Why I loved it: This was my first Formula 1 romance, and I know there probably aren’t many out there! Noah is kind of a mess, but he’s got such a good heart. He’s also Maya’s brother’s teammate (and not exactly his biggest fan), which makes things very complicated. Everyone warns her to stay far away, but of course, she can’t. Watching their r...

Let’s talk about two romances that bring enemies, lies, and longing to a whole new level. If you’re into emotional chaos (with a happy ending, of course), these two belong on your TBR: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💘 Enemies with Benefits / Forbidden Romance 📖 Twisted Hate by Ana Huang Rating : 5/5 ⭐ 💭 I read Twisted Hate in one sitting—couldn't put it down. Josh Chen is pure chaos and I loved every second. Jules and Josh can’t stand each other—but they also can’t stay away. She’s a fiery law student. He’s a cocky future doctor (and her best friend’s brother 😬). When they agree to a no-strings “enemies with benefits” arrangement, things get messy fast . Sharp banter, sizzling tension, and surprising emotional depth make this one totally unputdownable. Favorite Quote: "You drive me crazy, Red." He cupped my face, his voice low and rough. "But I'd go insane wi...

A Second Chance at Love: Love and Other Words Review

  This book made me cry in public. Twice. If you believe in second chances and soulmates, Love and Other Words will leave a mark. Title: Love and Other Words Author: Christina Lauren Genre: Contemporary Romance Pages: 450 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Some books don’t just tell a love story — they take your heart, break it, and carefully stitch it back together. Love and Other Words did exactly that. If you’ve ever had a first love you couldn’t forget, or wondered what might’ve happened if things had gone differently... this one’s for you.  After more than a decade apart, childhood sweethearts Macy and Elliot reconnect by chance. As they slowly rebuild trust, they’re forced to revisit the heartbreak that tore them apart — and the love that never really went away. Told in a dual timeline style, this story explores the power of words, memory, and unfinished love. I adored how strong Macy and Elliot's feelings for eachother were. Their connection from friendship to young love was be...
