Rereading to prep for book 6 in the series set to be out in October 2024 … I was quickly reminded how much I love RuNyx’s writing style and her development of characters. A true enemies to lovers plot with not just spicy tension but a heartbreaking backstory that I just can’t read fast enough. This has been one of my favorite dark romance series to ever read, and recommend.

If it's one thing RuNyx knows how to do, it's write a compelling story. This was such a captivating and thrilling read. High Drama, sizzling tension between the FMC and MMC, twists, car chases, motorbikes, Family secrets, mafia vibes. Just perfection. You'll want to read the second book immediately.

I can't describe enough how funny this is LMAO

I swear if I have a dime for every time Morana's breasts and nipples pebbled I would be rich lolol. The too-detailed writing that led to dramatization and ended up describing the character's feeling in half a chapter made me skimmed almost all of the chapters. I can almost hear Tristan Caine saying "I'M BATMAN" whenever he appeared. The sex scenes were like hormonal teenager's dirtiest wet dream. I was dead laughing every time it popped up. Morana's breasts and nipples being pebbled mentioned in such out of the box situations that made me like wtf LMAO. She also had this tendency to be horny in such an unexpected situation that made my mind boggled. Even while I'm writing this I'm still laughing lolol

I picked up this book while reading the horrible Haunting Adeline and saw many people said The Dark Verse is so much better dark romance series. Turns out my expectation was disappointing lmao. "Probably" will not pick up the rest of the series.

The Predator - Runyx

BOOK ONE in the Dark Verse Series

Synopsis ~

I picked this book up because I was in the mood to read a Mafia book and I had heard this book was good. This story follows our FMC Morana who is part of the Shadow Port Mafia. She happened to make these codes that can ruin their rival mafia Family which is the Outfit Mafia, who our MMC is from Tristian Caine. Somehow these codes go missing and Tristian Caine is her lead suspect.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. There was nothing i did not like about this book, however it is written in THIRD POV so if you do not like that this book will most likely not be for you. This is a self published book, there are some grammar errors and if that bothers you don’t read it.

This book was just chiefs kiss 💋. I loved everything to the plot to the characters. Runyx knows how to write a really good tension filled antsy romance because omg was the eye contact in this book to die for. I could literally feel the tension and eye contact through the book. I love how badass out Morana is that was really refreshing to see in a mafia book. Now Tristian Caine is EXTREMELY morally grey and a major red flag, did I still love him yes. There is 2 spicy scenes in here that are hot and heavy. The plot left me on the edge of my seat and finding out the real reason why Tristian HATED Morana was so shocking and I didn’t see coming. The ending omg it was amazing it met my expectations. This book I didn’t really expect to like but it shocked me how much I enjoyed it. This is my first 5 star of the year and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

In a fucked up way, I did love this book. Even if I didn’t always love the characters, I kind of know that wasn’t the intention and they all had so much personality, context, reasons for their actions and being. Tristan Caine isn’t a loveable, ideal book boyfriend and he’s not a character I like, honestly. The ending scene was incredible and just added depth. I’m ready to see what happens next, how he builds as a character. I really liked Morana in general, idk how she dealt with Caine and how their relationship actually started, he was only interested/showed interest over text lol. But I’m happy that she was powerful and stood her ground and a genius!!!
