Give me the SLOWEST burns ever. I want yearning. I want longing. I want it to hurt. I wanna read 400+ pages before they even kiss. Dark themes major plus!!

Omgggg every “slow burn” I read isn’t enough man.

I LOVE dark fantasy so darker themes is a major plus for me as well. I like moody and atmospheric, almost gothic. No TW’s or tropes are off limits.

Would love a 4 spice level or higher, even if I have to read a few books in a series to get there.

Some books I like that sort of hit the vibes im looking for are anything by Keri Lake, Fairydale by Veronica Lancet, The Book of Azrael, & The Legacy Series by MKR.

Even still, almost none of these are slow burn enough.

Also bonus points if it’s free on KU but also always happy to support smaller/indie authors!

I love a sunshine/grumpy dynamic, tortured soul MMC, strong FMC. Open to trying anything though!

Would prefer characters over 21 and more of an adult writing style vs YA.

TYIA ❤️

Edit: WOW you guys are awesome, my TBR list is now a mile long. Thank you so much 😭
