Happy October! We finally made it. If you know me, you know I am a spooky gal and that this is my favorite part of the year! Side note: for all your spooky wardrobe needs, check out The Sunday Post Shop. She’s my bff and has the cutest and comfiest clothes for this autumn. Plus, since they’re a bookish theme, they’re perfect for your little book-loving heart.
It’s just so stinkin’ cute!
Alright, now, let’s get to business. In honor of the best month of the year I wanted to write a fun post where I assigned a different dark romance book to each zodiac sign; a book that I think matches their personality. So, let’s start with my sign…
Capricorn
Ambitious, reserved and patient. As a sign that values stability and reliability, Capricorns are deciplined and determined. They are willing to put in the effort in the short term for the long term goals. “Let me talk to you about my 10 year plan” kinda people. So they book for you, my Capricorn would be….
The Ritual by Shantel Tessier.
This book is ALL about the long game. How you have to be patient and determined and ambitous to get what you want. Plus, if you’ve read the book and you know how it ends then you know I am not wrong!
2. Aquarius
Intellectual, independent and contemplative, this sign is deeply focused on their values. They are hungry for knowledge in order to better understand the world around them. They can be quite rigid in their thinking once they have found their core beliefs, however. Aquarians are interested in social justice and advocating for those who are oppressed. Aquarians as a dark romance would be…
Carnage by Sarah Bailey
Doing something for the greater good? Bringing about the apocalypse because of the injustices of the world? A little bit of a god complex? I can’t think of anything more Aquarian than that.
3. Pisces
Pisceans are imaginative, intuitive and emotional. They are connected with the magical and paranormal in the world. Their connection to emotion and creativity is a strength. They are able to re-invent themselves when the world becomes too overwhelming. The dark romance I would pick for Pisces would be…
Hooked by Emily McIntire
Because what’s more magical and than a literal retelling of a childhood fairy tell? This book is going to give our Pisceans the emotional rollercoaster they are looking for.
4. Aries
Our leader of the zodiac: bold, courageous, the one most likely to take charge of a group project. Aries are fiery and connected with the moment- whatever they want they will go for it! The tend to be quick tempered but also able to move on and laugh about it soon. So, for our hot headed, strong leaders, I picked…
All He’ll Ever Be by Willow Winters
Our male MC in this book is a quintessential Aries type- mafia boss, wealthy,
fiery and not good at sharing.
5. Taurus
Sensual, stubborn and loyal, as an earth sign, Tauruses value stability and security more than all the other star signs. When I think of Tauruses I think about being cozy in a cabin somewhere, away from the chaos of the rest of the world. For that reason, I chose this book to represent this star sign…
Credence by Penelope Douglas
This book is just giving such Taurus energy and takes place in a mountain in Colorado. There are a lot of spicy cabin scenes and if you don’t know what I’m talking about I recommend you remedy that ASAP.
6. Gemini
Quick-witted, excitable and curious, Geminis are great communicators and ready to learn about everything and everyone. They are also known for having two sides to them, one that they show to the world and one that they keep hidden. To honor our Gemini friends, I feel like the perfect dark romance for them would be…
Hautning Adeline By H.D. Carlton
Who better to incapsulate the Gemini star sign than Addie and Zade- both individuals who hide the darker parts of themselves from the world around them. Curious? Check. Excitable? Check.
Join me for Part Two of listing each star sign as a dark romance book. We’ve still got Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius! Up by the end of the week!
