Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller
I'm sorry everyone but I have to DNF this book. Promises and Pomegranates is the worst book I have read in a long time. This review will contain spoilers about the part of the Promises and Pomegranates book I read. Promises and Pomegranates are supposed to be a dark contemporary romance based loosely on the story of the two greek gods Hades and Persephone. While reading this book I was able to get up to page 136 before I finally decided to stop torturing myself. This book has literally put me into a reading slump. Our main characters Kal and Elena are very insufferable. Both Elena and Kal are obsessed with their genitals and each other. Kal's entire personality is he is supposed to be dark and mysterious, he treats Elena more like a child than a lover. Kal constantly calls Elena little and throughout 136 pages of the book there is a heavy emphasis on their age gap, Elena is either 18 or 19 and Kal is 32. The entire relationship is super weird, Kal constantly views Elena as nothing more than a sex object to tease. Maybe it's just me but this is truly not a romantic book at all, at certain points he just leaves her alone in a big house or unknown area with no idea what to do. They truly only view each other as hot people they want to have sex with. Now maybe the book gets better the deeper you read but I truly just didn’t want to waste my time. I give this book two stars because the forced sexual or “romantic” scenes of the book were funny but I’m positive that this wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. If you like dark contemporary kind of weird slightly manipulative books then this is the book for. But, the rule of thumb is always look up what a book is about when its recommended from booktok

TW: R@PE, ABUSE AND DOMESTIC ABUSE AND STOCKHOLM SYNDROME AND TALK ABOUT KINKS. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES.
Why most dark romance is romantised abuse and r@pe;
You cannot completely separate fiction from reality, it is a reflection of your true desires and morals. R@pe, abuse, stalking and kidnapping is not romantic at all in any situation.
First let's start off with haunting Adeline and book like similar. CNC is a valid kink but this book and others like it are a horrible representation, it is straight up sexual assault and Stockholm syndrome.
The author herself (which I have beef with) straight up admitted zade r@pes Adeline. CNC is about communication of boundaries, safe words and creating a safe space with is not represented correctly. CNC can help survivors take control of a situation where control was taken from them in a safe environment with someone they trust.
Haunting Adeline has set CNC representation back with its disgusting amount of popularity and existence. If you honestly think a book that does survivors such an injustice with is misrepresentation has helped with your own experience with sexual assault I truly hope you rethink if it's actually helped you or just put a band-aid on such a deep wound and I really do hope you go to therapy and maybe look into some actual good representation of CNC if CNC is something you think could help you.
Zade is disgusting and not someone you should defend at all.
Now for the romantisation of abuse, kidnapping and overly possessive love interests; most kidnapping in dark romance books that turns into a "romance" is Stockholm syndrome. There is no and or buts about it, it is not cute, romantic or something you should romantises at all. Your gross fantasy is someone's reality. You cannot seperate these sorts of things from your view on it in reality completely.
Fictional desires that you obsess over are not fictional. If it makes you horny or if you think the outcomes of these (mostly women's) situation are at all appealing even in fiction than it is not apart of a fictional want anymore.
A lot of these men in fiction straight up abuse these (again mostly women) in books and it is just abuse and the women in these books are trapped in a horrible situation they put a pink bow on as a defense mechanism. I'm aware these women aren't real but the situations you romantise are lots women's reality.
They're are so many different types of books you can read with the same types of themes such as CNC and enemies to lovers that aren't romantised abuse.
It is not cute, quirky or sweet if you defend and obsess over these types of men. Liking men with red flags whether fictional or not in not cute and is something I recommend therapy for.
Please stop defending men like zade and other characters cause "they're just fictional", I have stated why many times.
Please stop romantising other people's nightmares for a fictional man.
does anyone want to read cardan greenbriar x reader fics or is it just me?
NAH😭😭😭😭
so I was at my local bookstore and they had these signs that were like “he’s a 10 but….” to advertise romance books it was all cute and wholesome until I saw the one for shadow hunters it said “he’s a ten but he might be your brother”
kill me now please💀
I just finished reading the book 'This book kills' and i'm not okay
is it just me that genuinely struggles really really hard with characters names? Like they cant be too casual (ie. robert, nathan, sophie etc.) but they have to realistic and not be too fantasy-esque or sound straight up stupid
basically if anyone has a list or a couple of suggestions pls put in the tags
