People that read Captive Prince and Dark rise and went crazy, what other books have tormented you in a similar fashion?

For me it was The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski.

Main MC was super smart and blond, other MC was their slave. Lots of tension, court intrigue, betrayal ensues. Always showing not telling and the dialogue is 🔥

Anyway plz give recs!! 🙏🙏

"contemporary texts aren't ever as meaningful/artistic/etc as classics." WRONG! Here are a few prime examples of beautiful modern writing:

"All I can do is stand on the curb and say 'Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.'" - Richard Siken, Crush

“They both know the looping shape of pain—it changes and quiets but never ends. There is a strange comfort in its constancy. Memories of what was lost are also reminders of what was held.” - Lily Brooks-Dalton, The Light Pirate

"Cold came over me, but I was warm inside with guilt. The feeling nuzzled against me. It pressed against my heart like a soft animal and slept in my life." - Marie Rutkoski, The Midnight Lie

"Surviving's ugly work, and here I am, so hideously alive." - Trista Mateer, Girl, Isolated

“I've taken what they've given me and turned it into a mockery of them. I will turn it into what destroys them. If they want me to be a monster one step closer to God, that's fine. In what world was their God ever a benevolent one?” - Andrew Joseph White, Hell Followed With Us

“A lover? Maybe. Something tender, anyway. But tender like a bruise.”

― Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Kiss

BETWEEN THE DESIRE AND THE SPASM Chapter 3: To Death's Other Kingdom

She got the letter from James the following week. It was neat and written in Phthalo blue ink and it clawed at her throat. Lily, I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner. Hoping you’ll still take me up on those drinks. I’m free all this week after six, Saturday afternoon, and anytime Sunday. Let me know which day/time works for you. You pick the place. Regards, James Potter

"Start by explaining what a ladies' maid is supposed to do", I said. "I have no idea."

She cocked a flirtatious brow. "You could always help take off my clothes."
