Omg but what werewolf romance book is it that ur reading tho?👀

calling it a romance is maybe an exaggeration on my part. it's a YA fantasy series where the main character happens to date a werewolf after a will-they-won't-they-love triangle and it's kind of a spoiler that he's a werewolf but!!! it's a good read if you still want to try it out it's called The Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelly Armstrong.

For the LOVE of GOD will someone tell me if they read this series so I know that I am not the literal only one???

Rereading the Darkest Powers series and Screaming, crying, throwing up-- Chloe thinking about Derek when she's with Simon, Derek thinking about Chloe and then sending Simon to do all the romantic things he should be enjoying with her bc he thinks she likes Simon and doesn't want to spend time with him 😭😭

Straight up I have read these books probably 36 times since they came out. And I may or may not be rewriting the entire series plus more in fanfic I’ll post on ao3 if you’re ever interested. -k

Ummmm, yes?!?! Definitely send me the fanfic name whenever you post so that I (and other dormant, but still obsessed DP fans) can read it!

Derek X Chloe—Darkest Powers aesthetic

[creepy-bi-day]

Please tell me one of the 800 of you guys also had a Darkest Powers phase where you were obsessed with Derek Souza and wanted so badly to be a necromancer like Chloe

Some things I've been wondering lately is what specific media did people on the ace/aro spectrum naturally gravitate towards before they realized those identities had labels/a community associated with them.

I grew up when the teen paranormal/dystopian romance genre was at its height, so my book recommendations are going to reflect that:

The Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelley Armstrong: This was the first ever published book series that had a realistic (to me) romance. It was both a slow burn and a friends-to-lovers. Best of all you can easily interpret both the female protagonist and her male love interest as demi by how they're written. They're still one of my favorite nostalgic couples to this day.

Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead: This series is a spin-off from Vampire Academy and was the second published book series that I read that did the slow burn/friends-to-lovers tropes, but it did it even better. Mainly because their romance developed over six books instead of three. Also, the books acknowledge the female protagonist's sexuality. The term "demisexual" isn't used, but the basic definition of it is in the text to describe her feelings.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: I think nobody needs an explanation for this one, but if you've only watched the movies, you miss a lot of the context/nuance of Katniss' POV. I've seen Katniss headcanoned as having a lot of different sexualities, but she reads very strongly as a demiromantic asexual to me, personally.

Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments/reblogs!

That's what we all want, isn't it? Power without price.

Kelly Armstrong - The Summoning

[godscupfart]

I needed to draw her because most art makes her seem a lot older than she is and I have to remind myself they were only 15

The Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelly Armstrong would make a great tv show as long as it wasn't adapted by the likes of Roberto Aguirre-Sarcasa. Just make it less teen soap opera and more genuine psychological horror.

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

I finished The Summoning, the first in the Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong.

I found myself absolutely hooked on it for around three quarters of the book, but something caused that interest to wane later down the line. I'm not sure if it was the pacing or something else, but my interest was recaptured again not long after so it might just be a case of that particular section being not very interesting to my weird brain.

I don't know whether or not I can consider this book a favourite, but I do plan on continuing the series. It's quite good so far!
