I felt like Verity after reading “Verity”. I just sat staring off into space with questions...so many questions. My mouth was hanging open and I had the big eyes 😳through most of my reading. I need more books that’s make me feel this way!
I’m so happy you mentioned not being happy with the ending of It Ends with Us. I completely agree, but I understand why as well. She wrote his character so well that it made us readers want to accept his wrongs just to keep experiencing the good moments, but that will NEVER be okay. I loved it so much!
i started reading He Made Me Stay straight after I finished this video earlier and omg I’m so emotional first thing on a Saturday morning. the fact one of the heroes is diabetic makes me so happy as someone who’s had it for nearly 10 years, diagnosed as a kid. Didn’t know I needed this representation but it means so much to me. so glad you recommended this, thank you!!
He Will Be My Ruin by K. A. Tucker is one of the only suspense/thriller romances I read and actually really liked, didn’t think it would be my vibe but it had me hooked from the beginning!!
I’ve been reading Ten Tiny Breaths, In Her Wake and now I’m reading One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker and I’m liking it. I haven’t read the book you mentioned though. I have read her other book The Simple Wild and I liked it too. I am a fan of her books.
I just read a thousand boy kisses and I did cry just like you said-it was GOOD and ended just the way I didn’t know I wanted it to, thanks for the awesome rec ♥️✨ (Maybe I’ll try verity next but I’m scared 🙈)
I recommend a series by Isabelle Ronin 1. Chasing Red 2. Always Red and 3. Spitfire in Love.... its kind of a love hate relationship turned lovers enjoy
I finished reading Dead Man Walking a few days ago and it’s my favorite book in the series, as well as Welcome to the Dark Side, but that one’s a given
i just finished reading varity and it is a true masterpiece, it's probably one of the best books i've ever read. Thank you soo much for that amazing suggestion ❤️
giirl if you wanna read some more MM books I definetly recommend He is Poison from the Guns n' Boys Series by KA Merikan. You're soooo gonna love it! there are just so many tropes you'd like: italian mafia, bikers, arranged marriage, forbidden love, angst, violence, gangs wars, possessive alpha males. That series is just everything and more istg. Never read anything like that. Please do give it a try, I swear it gets even better book after book. Domenico is the *shit* and Seth is my baby
My favourite MM romance so far is Top Secret by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen. The steam is everything but the relationship is honestly so good 👌🏼 I loved it so much!! Also, did you know that the name Verity means truth? 😆
I’ve been watching you for about 6 months now. You’re my very first youtuber like that who recommends stuff to read. Before you I was only reading fanfictions which in most cases seem quite childish in a way that they are written now when I’m not a teenage girl anymore but a 21 year old woman. So I didn’t happen to enjoy any good reading for a long while. That was only before I came across you. You got me so inspired with your emotional descriptions! I found so many books to read I couldn’t believe my luck. And it’s all because of you. I still only follow your recommendations and don’t watch anyone else though I tried but somehow my heart belongs only to this channel. I really want to say thank you for bringing joy to all of us all this time. And I’d love to recommend you some good stuff too. I learned about my now favorite one by my friend. I didn’t expect much of it as it is a fanfiction and I only gave it a chance because she said it’s worth it. God how much it is you wouldn’t be able to understand until you read it! This is the kind of story that would make you emotional af and you will thank me million times after, I promise. Tho it’s only available in Russian for now (for free), the good news is it’s going to be translated into English this year! Can’t wait for the moment when you could read it By the way, wish you all the best in 2021 ❤️
I’ll remind you about that story when it’s available in English ❤️ The title in Russian is “Сказка о том, как Герда бежит да каем”, the author is cup_of_madness
Read Tarryn fisher's books, they are not thrillers but her romance books are kinda dark. Also Layla by Colleen hoover is a pretty good thriller/paranormal/romance book
what I enjoy in your videos since the first time I watched is that that are a plenty of books you recommended available on kindle unlimited, which makes everything so much more accessible. I'm brazilian, so it would be too expensive if I'd to buy them in english (and most of these books aren't translate to Portuguese yet). thank Mary
there is a book by Colleen Hoover called “Too late” that i think you will enjoy. The book has a dark story but also a very beautiful romance. i love it ❤️
You should read Follow The River by CE RICCI its a m/m dark romance. It was so good. It does have trigger warning but the whole plot and the characters were amazing and the book itself was really dark.
The way you talk about books makes me want to read everything you recommend lol. Colleen Hoover is literally one of the best haven’t read one bad book by her. You should also check out Ugly Love and Too Late another good once she’s written! But omg the one book I read by Tillie Cole was Sick Fux and till this day it’s the darkest book I’ve ever read I think it was even banned from Amazon at some point Idk why.
I might have to try her (Colleen Hoover) work again. I've been staying away her stuff because her work always made me so sad, although written amazingly well , I didn't want to be left crying.
Mary please read the villain by l j Shen .. it’s so good .. plus it has age gap❤️❤️❤️❤️. And I loved dead man walking .. it’s awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love u queen
In response to your new love of romance thrillers, I know that Karina Halle has a romance horror series. The first one is called Darkhouse and it's a pretty long series. All I know is that this woman joins a ghost hunting crew and has a romance with another member of the crew. I've heard it's really creepy and starts off as a bit of a slow burn. I'm hoping to start it in the first half of 2021. I also used to read a lot of Karen Robards' romantic suspense. My faves were One Summer, Paradise County, To Trust a Stranger, and Whispers at Midnight. One Summer is a bad boy "criminal" who is fresh out of prison and his ex high-school English teacher who is a bit older than him. So so good.
I ALWAYS love your book recs! This year I’m focusing on reading more for me (lots of dark, smutty romance) and give 0 f*cks what anyone thinks about it😅 Also super irrelevant but you’re GORGEOUS! Physically AND your personality(at least what’s portrayed on RUclips)! Thank you for sharing these vids ❤️
Born Darkly and Born Madly (duet) by Trisha Wolfe are good romance/suspense/thriller books. It's a romance between a criminal psychologist and a serial killer. Messes you up in the best way ❤
I started to love male/male romances after reading Carry on by Rainbow Rowell. I think you would prefer Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Love your videos and commentary
Ache by S.M Soto is definitely a must read. I saw it on good reads and omfg I could not stop thinking about this book. It’s very emotional and dark and had me crying for a long time!
I liked verity as it was very different and the final was wow! It’s very rare that a book manages to surprise me anymore. It managed to surprise me just because I was expecting a romance and got a thriller out of it but as a thriller is not in the major leagues... I love Coleen and my favourite book of hers is Maybe Someday. I struggle to read her books that have a love triangle in, not really my jam. What I love her style of writing, very well structured, original plots, realistic and genuine. Her books highlight that we are human and we make errors and love is not a perfect experience but an amazing journey! Hated it ends with us.. domestic abuse it’s a hard no and even if this book had a realistic ending, it doesn’t give you the satisfaction of a happy ending that are typical for romances. But yeah I think all Coleen Hoover’s book are worth reading but you will get a different experience from all of them.
Ok now it’s my mission to find a tear jerker book for you 😂 - The Air He Breathes by Brittainy Cherry this is one of my FAVORITE books and the dude is definitely the Alfa male vibes I know you like. Also Happy New Year!!! ✨✨✨
I'm glad you love Colleen's books. She's my favorite author and I've literally read every single book of hers. If you loved these three you've mentioned, you should definitely check out her other books. Cause these 3 are definitely my favorite of hers along with November 9. Heart bones, Regretting you, Without merit, Ugly Love and the maybe someday series are also veryyy goood. Gosh I can't get enough of her books.. Oh and if you loved the suspense in Verity you shoud definitely read her latest book that came out in december 2020. Layla. I recommend Colleen Hoover to everyone! If you haven't read at least one book of hers you are missing out!
I read Am I The Only One by E. K. Blair and it’s triller romance (I think 😂) and I loved it!! About MM romance try Without You by Marley Valentine and Him by Sarina Bowen!! Those are my fav 🥰 Thank you for the recommendations. Love from Portugal
hey, i love your videos! also, i'd like to recommend a romance novel called hide me from oblivion. the only book i ever cried to. i wanna erase it from my memory yet i wanna read it again and again. so sad. also, if you like hot steamy romantic series, i definitely suggest the crossfire series by sylvia day and this man by jodi ellen malpas.
I'm so ready to add more books to my neverending TBR
im pretty sure i have like over 100 now that has been added to my TBR
Haha. I kept putting it on my TBR but never know when I'll start to read it.
Yep, same here.
Booktube will get you in trouble. My TBR is out of control 😬
Same same
I'm an ebook reader but sis, that bookshelf aesthetic makes me wanna go over to paperbacks😍!!!
I am too, and yes, these bookselve in the videos makes me want to actually start a paperback collection
yes girl! i’m about to start dead man walking and i’m SO READY x
I felt like Verity after reading “Verity”. I just sat staring off into space with questions...so many questions. My mouth was hanging open and I had the big eyes 😳through most of my reading. I need more books that’s make me feel this way!
Is it a cliffhanger?
@@ambrelicious04 no, but the ending is crazy so it leaves you questioning many things.
OMG me too like the nurse!!! and the husband! UGh! lol trying not to spill anything and it's driving me crazy
I JUST FINISHED THIS BOOK in like 3 hours and I’m DYING. I need more books like this😩
I literally could. not. breathe by the end!
I’m so happy you mentioned not being happy with the ending of It Ends with Us. I completely agree, but I understand why as well. She wrote his character so well that it made us readers want to accept his wrongs just to keep experiencing the good moments, but that will NEVER be okay. I loved it so much!
Omg I felt the same way...I'm so happy to see someone agree with me
i started reading He Made Me Stay straight after I finished this video earlier and omg I’m so emotional first thing on a Saturday morning. the fact one of the heroes is diabetic makes me so happy as someone who’s had it for nearly 10 years, diagnosed as a kid. Didn’t know I needed this representation but it means so much to me. so glad you recommended this, thank you!!
Looks like I’m going to be picking up some Colleen Hoover! You honestly talk about books in a way that’s impossible for me not to buy them!! 🤩
ugly love, lovely book.I've read it 3 times.
@@chiricavioleta2450 omg one of my favs my other fav is corrupt
He Will Be My Ruin by K. A. Tucker is one of the only suspense/thriller romances I read and actually really liked, didn’t think it would be my vibe but it had me hooked from the beginning!!

You guys should read “until it fades” by K.A tucker!
@@emelymarie4171 I will have to check it out.
The Devils Night series by Penelope Douglas is one of my FAVORITES!! Great mix of suspense, crime, romance its too good..
i swear my tbr is becoming a novel itself at this point
10:27 agreed the only thing that kept it away from going to my 5 star reads was the ending
*It ends with us* by Collen hoover is amazing ❤️
that is the best book ever. even I cried for Ryley.. finished Ugly love...by collen lovely book..ever
omg I just finished verity and I'm still shocked. thank you for always giving the best recommendations!
I love the way you talk about books. I'm going to read Giana Darlings books this year. They sound amazing.
A Thousand Boy Kisses made me cry like a baby and is now one of my favorite books💗 it’s so beautiful
Literally watched this video yesterday and came back to say I just devoured Verity in less than 48 hours and it is unreal! Thank you for the rec
3 M/M I loved: Him, Us & Top Secret by Elle Kennedy & Sarina Bowen!
Read a thousand boy kisses a couple years ago and omg y’all need to read that
P.s dead man walking can be read as a stand-alone but it’s more enjoying when you read the whole series and get to know the characters beforehand.
I just read a thousand boy kisses and I did cry just like you said-it was GOOD and ended just the way I didn’t know I wanted it to, thanks for the awesome rec ♥️✨
(Maybe I’ll try verity next but I’m scared 🙈)
it ends with us is alsooo very gooood, you finally read it
Saw your Verity recommendation, downloaded and read it in one day! Your review is 100% on the ball 😭😭
I recommend a series by Isabelle Ronin 1. Chasing Red 2. Always Red and 3. Spitfire in Love.... its kind of a love hate relationship turned lovers enjoy
blame in on the champagne it was amazing !!! love it and cant wait to read nova story next and also the other friend ry too
I need to see a bookshelf tour !! 😍😍😍😍
I love your book recommendations and you are an absolute riot!!😂 Literally brightens my day
I finished reading Dead Man Walking a few days ago and it’s my favorite book in the series, as well as Welcome to the Dark Side, but that one’s a given

i just finished reading varity and it is a true masterpiece, it's probably one of the best books i've ever read. Thank you soo much for that amazing suggestion ❤️

I recommend Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. The ending had me cryingg. Her plot twist shocks my mind every single time.
Born, darkly & born, madly are really good thriller romances
Just ordered the Stay with me Series because of you and I am READY FOR MORE
Happy New year chicky and thanks for some wicked book ideas. Gotta love Aussie weather 🥵
I was never planning on reading Verity because no one mentioned the sex but once you said it... biiitch ima put that on my tbr right now!
I love your recommendations, you always make every book sound amazing to read
PLEASE do a similar to verity/thriller romance book recommendation video!!! 😫😫😫😫 Love all your content ♥️
I read He Made Me Stay right after watching this and it had me so emotional 😭❤️ definitely a beautiful story
PRIEST AND BEA ARE MY FAVOURITEEEEEEE
Try Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. I think you'll like it!
I get a kindle tomorrow so BLESS THE FUCK UP. Thank you Mary, Happy New Year girl, much love 💕
Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick is also a good suspense romance
I prefer Colleen Hoover as audiobooks because her style reads as a movie or a TV show but not as a book! 💁🏻♀️🧐thanks for the recommendations 🎉❤️

Verity is one the best books I’ve ever read. Creepy vibes for sure!
i kind of hated Lowen though 😬😬
K. Webster’s dolls series is so good! It’s very interesting thriller Psyco romance
Read Tarryn fisher's books, they are not thrillers but her romance books are kinda dark. Also Layla by Colleen hoover is a pretty good thriller/paranormal/romance book
