May 2025 – Dark Romance Books Recs For Every Zodiac Sign

🌟 Cue the candlelight, pour something indulgent, and let’s dive into the stars—because your sign has a book, and it’s just the kind of dark, delicious chaos you’ve been craving. Whether you’re into morally gray love interests, tension that could slice steel, or the occasional blood-spattered “I love you,” I’ve got you covered.

Here are my dark romance recs for every zodiac sign—because baby, even the cosmos ship toxicity with spice.🌟


♈ Aries (March 21 – April 19):

“Duke: Aries King” by Jamila Jasper (Audiobook)

Aries are often bold and assertive, so this book’s strong, dominant male lead and intense storyline could resonate with them. 


♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

“Captive in the Dark” by C.J. Roberts

Taurus values sensual experiences and comfort, and this series offers intense, forbidden, and passionate themes.


♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

Play with the Phantom” by Amanda Richardson

Gemini are known for their curiosity and love of adventure, making this book’s dark and obsessive romance intriguing.


♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

“Julius: Cancer King” by Jamila Jasper (Audiobook)

Cancer signs are emotional and nurturing, so this book could provide a satisfying mix of dark themes and emotional depth.


♌ Leo (July 23 – August 22):

“Psychotic Obsession” by Leigh Rivers

Drama? Check. Obsession? Check. Main character energy? You already know. This one’s dark, deranged, and all about being desired beyond reason—just how you like it.


♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22):

“Enchantra” by Kaylie Smith

Fantasy meets dark complexity, with a heroine who’s got layers on layers. Intricate, broody, and ruthlessly logical… until she snaps. Feels familiar, doesn’t it?


♎ Libra (September 23 – October 22):

“My Dark Prince” by L.J. Shen & Parker S. Huntington

Romantic power plays, high-stakes relationships, and enemies-to-everything. It’s aesthetically pleasing, emotionally twisted, and totally your vibe.


♏ Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):

“Kiss The Villain” by Rina Kent

You’re not here for the hero, baby—you want the monster. Obsession, manipulation, and magnetic darkness in every chapter. Say less.


♐ Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):

“Into Ruin” by S.L. Gray

Hockey + violence + chaotic lust = one wild ride. Fast-paced and intense, with the emotional restraint of a Molotov cocktail. Basically your dating history in paperback.


♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):

“Haunting Adeline” by H.D. Carlton

Discipline meets danger. This stalker romance pushes all the psychological boundaries and still manages to give you something to analyze and overthink later. You’re welcome.


♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):

“Scythe & Sparrow” by Brynne Weaver

Weird, whimsical, and just a little twisted. You want something that stands apart, and this unique dark fantasy hits all the right strange notes.


♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20):

“The Submissive” by Tara Sue Me

Seductive and scandalous, hidden desires, a tantalizing world of power and passion. Perfect for you, sensitive soul.


🌟So, what’s written in your stars this month, darling? Drop your sign in the comments and let me know if your rec nailed it—or if you’re still chasing morally gray book boyfriends who give you trust issues and butterflies.🌟

Until next time…
