  1. I owned a couple of those books from Mary once upon a time. I didn’t ever read them though. They sounded intersting but I think I just let them sit too long and interest went away!

    1. I read the first book in that trilogy and remember liking it, but then I never continued and my interest indeed went away too 🙂

  2. Snap! I also went with the word “dark”. Love that our books are quite different though. Here’s my TTT: https://damppebbles.com/2025/04/29/toptentuesday-29th-april-2025/

    1. Oh nice! And how great that we still have different books 🙂

  3. It’s a popular word in titles from the looks of it!

    1. It definitely was easy to put this list together 🙂

  4. Ooh, good word choice!

    1. It’s definitely a popular word for book titles 🙂

  5. I notice that all but one of your DARK titled books have dark covers, too. Fun list.

    1. Oh indeed, nice catch!

  6. Fantastic choice of word! I loved Dark Tempest, Chase the Dark, Queen of Air and Darkness, Dark Arts and a Daiquiri!

    1. All definite faves of mine too 😀

  7. I really need to read A Curse so Dark and Lonely! My TTT

    1. I’ve read A Curse so Dark and Lonely and really enjoyed it, but I still need to continue the rest of the series though.

    1. I did a re-read of ADSOM last year too! I did finish in preparation for the latest release – hope you’ll enjoy if you do decide to pick it up again 🙂
