There's nothing scarier than people writing books about barely legal girls going through terrible trauma but making it smut and romance. Merry spooky month everyone!
“It’s not technically illegal. But in my brain? Illegal. Jail!” is exactly how I feel 😂. I’m a 31 yr old university professor and CANNOT deal with the prof/student trope!!
@@leahmanning2098 it’s what the main characters call each other. That and she gets kidnapped by an assassin (which does not make sense because Hades is not the god of death, that is Thanatos. He is just the god of the dead) and forced to marry. This falls into the group of books that I compare to cosmetic skins in a video game. Other than the superficial, it really doesn’t have anything to do with the story itself.
@@sydneywarren7353 yes! They were drinking, so they must have forgotten, but all I could think was that he was abused by the mother, but had no issues being with someone who just gained the right to vote.
I both really hate, yet love that I could literally go read some fanfiction for FREE that’s miles better than either of those two books. I’m genuine to cause I never read a fic that’s so blatantly problematic and romanticizing those issues. Hell I read fics that actively address them and are nicely written😭
THE WAY I ALMOST FELT NAUSEATED WITH THE SECOND ONE. I truly, TRULY need someone to write an essay on why so many women write mis*gynistic men as love interests, especially in dark romance. Because if you want to discuss these topics, you can, but it needs to be handled with extreme care. Romanticizing them is literally the opposite of being careful. It's crazy how many women love these books. I do think maybe it's a form of escapism, a defense mechanism against the m*sogyny that women face every day. "It's better to think it's romantic than to really see the tragedy of it." But it just helps to further enhance r*pe culture... Anyways, I'm rambling and traumatized, lol. You two deserve an award after reading these books, especially the last one.
It's kinda similar to when abused women consume r*pe porn or assault content to masturbate, it is an actual defense mechanism and behavior of survivors since abuse is the only thing they know and is familiar to them. Now there is a great difference between having trauma and dealing with it as best as you can and actually producing content like the second book and getting it published for other people to consume while being led to believe abuse is normal.... like there is no need pls is bad already with p*rn sites
For some people reading this kind of stuff is a way to process their trauma and I don't get why people need to critisise everything Dunno about the first book, but the second book has a long LONG list of trigger warnings and very clearly states that this stuff is very unhealthy and not an example af a healthy relationship. If after THAT people still claim that it's romatisising, humanity is clearly not okay Ugh
@@notllikethat are we supposed to be believe is not romantized when the main character fucking orgasms out of pleasure while being assaulted? Yes, some people may use this readings as coping mechanisms, but guess what? cutting is also a coping mechanism,does that mean cutting is good or acceptable or normal?
Book #2 sounds like the manifestation of the attempt to reconcile with your own abuse by trying to chase after it "on your own terms". Absolutely unhinged, I hope those authors used the money from it to get some closure.
I don't remember the exact statistic or town but there's a town in Georgia with multiple graduates who couldn't read Like the literacy rates there are really low
As a new Englander myself, I got really confused about the island part. Turns out we have a ton but they are all TINY like 90% are one house type deals. So now I’m just imagining this dude being like “he he yah I own an island” and it’s just a puddle of rocks
i laughed so hard my face hurtttt like do you hear the sirens? yeah the cops is on the way btw women writing smutty sa trauma stories need to be studied like srsly WHY is grapey stuff turn you onnn??? is this a call for help or you're just a degenerate
As someone with this kind of kink, I can tell you that it's pretty easy to compartmentalize this kind of thing as a story (which is abhorrent and I hate it) vs. a wanking material (which me and my fellow sick fucks enjoy). And why does that turn me on? I don't know, honestly in anything else but porn even a mention of this kind of thing makes me recoil in fear and disgust. I guess it's like seeing a dick just randomly when you're not in the mood, which can be unpleasant, or even outright traumatizing, versus seeing a dick in private when you're, eh, in the mood. I don't even see "dark romance" as a romance and I hate the dishonesty, like girls, it's fetish porn, I can't believe any of y'all would consider this heartwarming or whatever.

That second book would have at least had a decent ending if she took a picture of the sheets and sent them to the stalker while saying the guy took her virginity against her will. Then the stalker could go after said guy, they could kill each other, and the book would at least have some semblance of consequences.

The most insane thing about the second book is that any young woman, let alone multiple, would put up with the ridiculous tuition and expenses of college (presumably in America) only to spend the majority of their time in *that* scenario. The absolute waste of money. I know many people go kind of wild at that stage of their lives, but have either of these authors been to college? (Or was I just extremely oblivious of my university environment???)

I have in fact read the entire Royals of Forsyth U series and I can confirm that it gets infinitely weirder. In book two, Story tries to get revenge by playing into their game and loving them and stuff to betray them. And then the stepdad IS an evil guy and he tries to force Story to do stuff but Killian and Wrath and Tristan are cool with her again, so they get him lmao. Uh yea, Story gets pregnant though and they treat her like a queen apparently and there are nine books in total😭

For me, it felt like hanging out with friends and discussing bad books with having margaritas. Thankyou ladies i needed this and had a blast Side note, i LOVED the sparkly purple nails , and gold glitter eyeshadow girls ❤️
Anything written by V.C. Andrews (pre and post ghost writer) and Stephanie Meyers (Twilight series) are in my eyes Dark Romances (at least when I would talk to people that just loved those books)... I viewed them as a guide on how to look for red flags and then run the other way. I much prefer thrillers, mysteries or quirky comedic novels as an adult LOL
The worst part about the frat one is while I haven’t seen evidence of that exact scenario, there’s a lot of gross shit going on in Greek Life. Frankly the whole system as it exists in non-HBUs needs to be abolished
This review made it easier for me to accept deleting Promises and Pomegranites from my library! I first read the prelude Sweet Sin and was disgusted with the story. So I'm not surprised Promises & Pomegranites was worse! I could not make it past the first chapter before I deleted it. So thank you for this review I knew I made the right choice!
I'm watching this in the middle of the night and I'm trying so hard not to laugh loud enough to wake up my partner 😂😂😂 I found your channel a couple months ago and I just wanted to say I'm so glad booktube led me to your videos! Looking forward to the rest of saraween 👻
i literally stopped the video in the middle of discussing the second book and went to google aro ace flags to cure my soul. ive never been so proud and so terrified to be asexual
I never actually thought about 18 year olds at all, but when she said "I'm 32 and I can't think of 18 yo like that" I realized how fvked up my younger years were. I was 16 when I hooked up with my ex boyfriend with whom I was for 5 year. He was 28 when we got together. Now im thinking - "WTF"? That's so freaking messed up. I would never even get close to 16 yo teen, because they're damn kids. My goodness. I made horrible choices in my younger years. 😂😂😂 I'm happy I grew up mentally
its not a bad thing for a kid to have a crush on someone who is more mature. it's honestly a good thing because, ideally, a more mature person would be a good model for someone you would want to find within your age group (or at least find someday when youre the same age). your ex failed as a person, not you.
alright, but i felt genuinely nauseous from even listening a recap to the second book. may both of our therapists help us out of this shit, because i can't for the love of me take it anymore after just giving up on Lolita.
I'm 26 now, but when I was 19 I dated a guy who was 30 and I kid you not, that relationship was a trip. In hindsight, I would have run (and like Katy, would never entertain the thought of dating someone eleven years younger than me, ew). Do not recommend the slightest. Also love the chillin' bestie vibes, the books were horrendous but you two made this so entertaining.
Omg omg I’m recovering from an operation and today was the first day I’ve been able to go out to the bar w my mates and I see this video when I get back?? Perfect timing ty ty
Y’all are absolutely hilarious 🤣 I was dying while watching this. Also thank you for putting the name of your glitter eyeshadow in the description! It looks so cute 🥰
I love the part, "it's not technically illegal, but in my head... illegal" 😂 We don't typically read romances on our channel, but I might be interested in reading a Dark Romance. Any recommendations?
If you want to read dark romances I actually think are good and not jail vibes: Born Darkly by Trisha Wolfe, Mindf*ck series by ST Abby, and Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann
Knowing sav r miller based promises and pomegranates on her own marriage scares me I have the rest of the series on my kindle app but i only read the first one
Where... where were the pomegranates in the book that pomegranates in the title? Was it just there to try and qualify it as a Hades and Persephone retelling???
Fun fact, i own a physical copy of promises and pomegranates. Kal may have been involved with Carmen, but she basically groomed him since he was under age when they met. The entire series is like a soap opera, it's dark with a lot of trauma and sexualization but i'd say there definitely is way worse out there, i'd call it a very dark soap opera if anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Oh yeah and the people on the Island also love Kal due to him having done free medical work at the hospital there. Also Elena is 20, it is mentioned that she asked him to take her at 18 and he said no, she was to be married at 20 and they did it on her 20th birthday which is written about in the prequel story. It's messy as all hell. (P.S. I literally own the whole series cause when I read them I really liked them 😅) Edit: I DO NOT CONDONE ANYTHING IN THE SERIES, but i did read it so i thought why not comment on it. And i will not re-read it, because i'm pretty sure i wouldn't really like it if i did.
The authors really worded it quite well " these man are irredeemable until they are" you would only understand if you read the entire series. But they are definitely not for the faint of heart. People who love these books are a different breed entirely ( my self included 😂)
I stopped and read book two before watching the part fully and omg wtf was any of that holy shit ive never e v e r wanted to murder so many men, I was literally gonna vomit like every other page
@@sarawithoutanH Girl I'm gonna combust So yes the sugar daddy Ted was the stepfather (GROSSx100000) but there's also ANOTHER stalker with henchmen who still uses the name Ted I just got done with the second book and about to read the third one- I hope to god I'm done after this
fr the obsession they have with virginity and innocence feels so p3dophelic it's not even funny anymore it's just weird as hell. and it doesn't help that the main girl is always infantilized by the author and the male lead so....
There's nothing scarier than people writing books about barely legal girls going through terrible trauma but making it smut and romance. Merry spooky month everyone!
honestly frightening
@@sarawithoutanH And a lot of times, they're written by women.

I fear no amount of alcohol will make these books easier to recount
😂😂😂
“If I can’t fight cancer I’ll commit crimes…”
“He double dippin in the family!?”

Every plot point of the second novel had me gasping out loud
Yeah it got worse and worse for sure
My jaw is through the earths core
the second book 😭😭 even the other dark romances you've talked about TRIED to show the main girl ANY kindness. THIS WAS JUST TORTURE PORN
I know.. the other ones are marginally better and that's saying something 😩

2:52 Sara's smile slowly fading as she hears the word mom is priceless 😭😭😭😭
honestly did not expect that twist
I work in a hospital and with this cutting name into thigh business I just keep thinking “blood play is how you get MRSA.”
Let's not forget in Promises and Pomegranates, Kal was underage when he had the affair with the mom and living with the family. I was traumatized. 🤦♀
Wasn't he like 15 or something?? I was PRAYING that it would at least be called out at some point in the story but nope
I THOUGHT THIS WAS ABOUT HADES AND PERSEPHONE!?!?!?

Oh she removed the reference to said relationship from the book btw.
Thank you so much for this video!!! As a dark romance lover I’m definitely not going to read lord of pain now!💀
Where... where were the pomegranates in the book that pomegranates in the title? Was it just there to try and qualify it as a Hades and Persephone retelling???
she had the pomegranate tattoo on her side
Yeah, one tattoo isn’t enough to earn its place in the title. Were there even any physical pomegranates they ate, or even saw?
My opinion exactly!!!! Plus, hades ADORED his wife
i watched this while getting ready this morning - hated it BUT also thank you so much i love this series😭😭♥️
This is a genious idea
How is that guy illiterate in college???
Loving this series lol
I think the only way for me to read these books is to be drunk.
Commenting before I’ve watched because I cannot waiiiiiiit
I'm so excited for Saraween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys energy together is drunk
I saw promises and pomegranates on the thumbnail and screamed omg 🙈
Good times, guys! Too bad the books weren't better.
Lords of Pain is actually such a good book, i kinda enjoyed it (my family hasn’t seen me in weeks pls free me) 🤭💗
How is the guy illiterate and in college???? 😭
Fun fact, i own a physical copy of promises and pomegranates.
Kal may have been involved with Carmen, but she basically groomed him since he was under age when they met. The entire series is like a soap opera, it's dark with a lot of trauma and sexualization but i'd say there definitely is way worse out there, i'd call it a very dark soap opera if anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Oh yeah and the people on the Island also love Kal due to him having done free medical work at the hospital there. Also Elena is 20, it is mentioned that she asked him to take her at 18 and he said no, she was to be married at 20 and they did it on her 20th birthday which is written about in the prequel story.
It's messy as all hell. (P.S. I literally own the whole series cause when I read them I really liked them 😅)
Edit: I DO NOT CONDONE ANYTHING IN THE SERIES, but i did read it so i thought why not comment on it.
And i will not re-read it, because i'm pretty sure i wouldn't really like it if i did.
The authors really worded it quite well " these man are irredeemable until they are" you would only understand if you read the entire series. But they are definitely not for the faint of heart. People who love these books are a different breed entirely ( my self included 😂)
Bro I read promises and pomegranates a couple years ago and remember NOTHING
Wait, the man is in college but can't read? And he thinks reading music is like reading a book? 😂💀
You guys are hilarious lmao
You guys should’ve read the prequel novella for Promises and Pomegranates. It’s even worse.
I stopped and read book two before watching the part fully and omg wtf was any of that holy shit ive never e v e r wanted to murder so many men, I was literally gonna vomit like every other page
I'm taking one for the team, I'm gonna read more of this series out of morbid curiosity
let us know about the stalker lol
@@sarawithoutanH Girl I'm gonna combust
So yes the sugar daddy Ted was the stepfather (GROSSx100000) but there's also ANOTHER stalker with henchmen who still uses the name Ted
I just got done with the second book and about to read the third one-
I hope to god I'm done after this
The handshake took me out
😂
🦋 amazing video. Instant subscribe 😂
There's like 9 books in this series. 😭
I simply will not be partaking in any more of them 😂
@@sarawithoutanH I'm proud you got through the one. I get that there's a fan base for this....but I'm not it either.
YASSS
4:05 Do they mean Nantasket? Or Martha’s Vineyard?
Wait where is the link for the other vampire book lolol
Look. I mean 😂
I need to reread
😂😂😂😂
What are the greatest dark romance book ?
fr the obsession they have with virginity and innocence feels so p3dophelic it's not even funny anymore it's just weird as hell. and it doesn't help that the main girl is always infantilized by the author and the male lead so....
Somebody needs to check the hard drive of whoever wrote the second book LMAO
it was TWO WOMEN who co-wrote it
@@sarawithoutanH check both their hard drives 🙏
So glad I didn't buy this book 🙏🏻
honestly dodged a bullet 😂
