This is my biggest book pet peeve because WHY are ppl romanticizing sa and abuse and then saying it’s hot. That’s disgusting and messed up, it makes my blood boil and disturbs me sm. Say it louder for the Haunting Adeline girlies, I cannot stand this “trope” and pattern in “dark romance” because that’s not dark romance!! The original meaning of the genre has been completely distorted and people who use the excuse of dark romance are so weird
