Is an 800-page dark romance worth the sleep deprivation? 📖

This week, I started reading the internet’s current obsession: "Chaotic" by Shantel Tessier. This is Kashton book, and the rumors are true—it is intense.

In this 5-minute mini-episode, I’m pausing at Chapter 10 to give you my raw, unfiltered thoughts.

What I discuss:

• The "Spade Brothers" Hype: Why is everyone obsessed with them?

• The Vibe: How does this compare to The Ritual? (Spoiler: It’s darker).

• My Wild Theory: I predict the ending based only on the first 10%.

My Stats So Far:

• Rating: ⭐⭐

• Confusion Level: 😵‍💫 (High)

• Current Status: Chapter 10 of ?

Question for you:If you've finished it, DM me (no spoilers!)—does Kashton get better or worse?

Meet Meera. She’s ambitious, nervous, and leaving home for her dream business school. She expects academic pressure, but she has no idea about the romance and rivalry waiting for her.

In this episode (Chapter 1):

• The emotional reality of packing your life into a suitcase.

• Saying goodbye to family.

• The big clue: "I dream of red bricks."

Can you guess the college?I haven’t named the campus yet, but if you know the "Red Bricks," you know where she’s going. DM me on LinkedIn/Instagram if you guessed it!

(Note: This is a rough draft. Let me know what you think!)

In our debut episode, we enter the Twisted Universe.

Today, I’m breaking down Twisted Love by Ana Huang. We discuss why Alex Volkov is the ultimate morally grey hero, dissect the "Brother's Best Friend" trope, and debate whether this book actually qualifies as "Dark Romance" (Spoiler: I have thoughts).

Key Discussion Points:

• The Structure: Why the "Grumpy x Sunshine" dynamic works so well here.

• The Critique: Did the "groveling" scene in London feel earned? Or did Alex get off too easy?

• Writer's Diary: How reading Alex Volkov helped me fix a major flaw in my own male protagonist for Chapter 4 of my upcoming novel.

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars ⭐
