Meet Angel

I was born and raised in New York City in the heart of Manhattan - Hell’s Kitchen. I do hate to break it to you, it is unfortunately not how it seems in the movies - it’s EVEN BETTER! The food is unmatched…and I WILL die on this hill.

My love of books began when I was really young. Dystopian fantasy was truly my favorite escape. The Divergent series by Veronica Roth was everything I never knew I needed. It was my reading awakening if I do say so myself!

As I got older, I found my love of Indie Authors on Wattpad - the place where my exposure to romance grew tenfold! I read all kinds of stories - taboo, age-gap, MM/ FF, paranormal (werewolf and vampires), mafia, and even one-direction fan-fiction (yes, I was that kind of directioner. I lived for the the “Y/N” days)!

Even in my teenage years I was always drawn to dark and taboo romance stories. Finally, in June of 2023, I decided to start a bookstagram/ booktok page and it was truly one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I have made so many wonderful friends from around the world. The community has exposed me to such a supportive environment and for that alone, I am blessed.

Fast forward to June of 2024 and I decided to launch my dark romance blog. Dark romance readers need a safe space to turn to, to find all things dark romance related! I hope that my love of books and dark romance stories translates to a warm and welcoming environment that is for everyone!
