Another Lillian Lark book recommendation for the weekend: Tangled Wires Lilian Lark's Tangled Wires is a standalone science fiction romance with an engaging plot, a convincingly flawed and relatable lead, a small but intriguing cast of complex and believable characters, the simmering of dark romantic and sexual tension, and a beautiful prose style. Even as it uses the genre conventions of gothic and dark sci fi romance, the execution and style of story-telling is wholly original. What struck me about this novel is its heartfelt sincerity. This not only extends to the author's sensitive but pithy exploration of mental health but also to her engagement with issues integral to the genre she is writing in. Her exploration of questions of love and attraction blend seamlessly with her grappling of what is probably the most fundamental question most works of science fiction often end up asking, i.e., what does it mean to be human. 4/5 ⭐️ and full review on #goodreads (link in bio) #lillianlark #tangledwires #bookstagram #booktokrecommendation #bookrecommendations #booktok #booklover #bookstagrammer #ku #kindleunlimited #kindlebooks #scifiromance #🌶 #🤖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQT2uMHD_JF/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The smile brings to mind dark fairy tales and nursery rhymes told to young girls so they don’t end up in situations like this. It’s too late for me. I’ve wandered into the dark woods and the big bad wolf closes in." Lillian Lark’s dark romance thriller Her Vigilante follows FBI agent Evelyn Michael as she tries to uncover the identity of the enigmatic serial killer the Vigilante who has gained name/notoriety by targeting criminals and wrongdoers who have evaded justice, alongside her colleague Jeremiah. Even as Evelyn tangles with the mind-games played by the Vigilante who appears to be increasingly obsessed over her, she and Jeremiah have to face the likely much more dangerous copycat killer who the Vigilante has inspired. Evelyn struggles with the mental scars of her traumatic childhood while trying to make sense of her own strange attraction to the vigilante. Lark's dark and complex enemies-to-lovers romantic thriller is a well-paced, engaging and memorable story that approaches the conventional tropes of the genre with a fresh eye. It offers unique and innovative solutions to the problems that works in this genre often run into. While the premise of the book sets the plot within a structure common to dark romances where it becomes difficult to salvage the heroine's agency without sacrificing the romance, the author handles this problem carefully and deftly to deliver a believable moral outcome. 4/5 ⭐️ and full review on #goodreads (link in bio) #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #lillianlark #hervigilante #darkromance #thriller #serialkiller #bookreview #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #photooftheday #instagood #instabooks #redandblack #🌶 #🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRk25YsreD/?utm_medium=tumblr
