    My work-friend just gave me a Dymocks gift card for $30, and told me to get something “spicy and/or spooky.”

    What are some good Horror meets Dark Romance, or Spooky meets Sexy books I can find (in a bookstore).

    I guess, for this particular purchase, I want something that feels like a sexy/edgy but slightly campy paranormal romp from the 90s.

    For some context, things I’ve liked include:

    – Grady Hendrix’s books and style (esp. My Best Friend’s Exorcism)
    – I didn’t mind the New Adult level of smut or melodrama in ACOTAR (didn’t love the writing style).
    – I love movies like Practical Magic, The Craft, Jennifer’s Body (favourite film), and shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed or AHS: Coven.
    – I struggle with fantasy that isn’t Witchy or Paranormal and Spooky (ie. I can’t do high fantasy)
    – I prefer New Adult to Adult, but I can get on board with YA if it’s at a high enough level

    I already own:
    – All the Practical Magic Books
    – Dark and Shallow Lies
    – ACOTAR
    – Crooked Kingdom
    – Six of Crows
    – Gild + Glint
    – All Grady Hendrix’s books
    – Final Girls by Riley Sager

    1. A Dowry of blood by ST Gibson. It is the darkly seductive take of Draculas first bride Constanta.
