Trope Thursday: A Murder, A Mystery, and Four Men Obsessed 🖤

Series Feature: Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
Coffee Pairing: Chocolate Cream Cold Brew 🤎

If you’re into dark, paranormal romance, reverse harem energy, and a murder that refuses to stay buried, this series is one of those chaotic, binge-all-five-books-in-a-week situations.

🧛‍♀️ What You’re Getting Into:

One vampire girl.
Four shifter boys.
A supernatural school full of secrets.
And a mystery that gets darker with every book.

This series isn’t cute. It’s dangerous, messy, bloody, and freaking addictive.

💀 Tropes That Come in Hot:

☕ Reverse Harem
☕ Dark Academia
☕ Paranormal College setting
☕ Murder Mystery
☕ Touch-her-and-die energy
☕ morally grey men
☕ slow burn → complete obsession
☕ secret identities

It scratches that intense romance itch but adds the paranormal tension that keeps you up late saying “just one more chapter.”

📚 The Books:

  • Dark Fae

  • Savage Fae

  • Vicious Fae

  • Broken Fae

  • Warrior Fae

Series status? Completed Baby.

🩸 Aesthetic Vibe Check:

Think:

  • neon lights + rooftop fights

  • shifter claws and sharp fangs

  • dark loyalty

  • found family

  • dangerous love stories

It gives Zodiac Academy energy but with more murder, more mystery, and honestly? Even darker romance arcs.

🤎 Coffee Pairing: Chocolate Cream Cold Brew

Because it’s:

  • cold + dark like the setting

  • sweet on top but bitter underneath

  • and basically the perfect reading drink for a messy paranormal romance

Bonus points if you add chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.

🫶 Final Thoughts:

If you want a reverse harem that delivers danger, spice, supernatural power, and messy obsession from every direction—this is your sign.

📣 Your Turn:

Which boy wrecked you the worst 👀

📖 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...

Obsession, shadows, and a love that blurs the line between desire and danger. 📖 What’s It About Adeline is a writer who thought she understood control—until she met him. The Manipulator can twist anyone’s emotions with his words, but against The Shadow , her pleas fall flat. He watches. He waits. And no matter how much she begs for distance, her heart betrays her with every stolen glance. The Shadow never meant to fall in love. But now that he has, he won’t let go. He’s consumed by her smile, her body, her very existence—and once she’s his, he’ll never release her. Not even when she begs him to. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This book contains graphic violence, stalking, kidnapping, sexual assault, non-consensual situations, blood play, and psychological manipulation.
