It’s probable that before 2020 I wouldn’t be reading horror romance. I never saw myself doing it, you know? But as soon as I picked up my very first horror romance, I was unable to stop after that! They’re so intriguing and enchanting — you get caught in the wave of emotions the character is feeling. Add to that the danger, the terrifying scenes, and a love story that can rip you up in half? You get a very spooky romance book that you won’t be able to forget. But I do want to mention that there are different kinds of spookiness, or different things that scare someone. We are very different people and not all of us scare the same. For example, a spooky read can be about gruesome monsters and bloody murder houses. That’s scary, right? But you can also experience fright when you’re reading a thriller and the character is about to enter a room where they will find the killer! I’m choosing these spooky romance novels based on that creepy sensation you feel when you read the book — when you start anticipating something bad happening every time a chapter begins. You’re going to be scared one way or another, that’s for sure! Before we get to the holiday romances, there are some spooky romance novels to explore. This list will satisfy your needs for creepy, intriguing stories. Most of them are steamy as heck, so you’ll have the time of your life. If you also want to try your hand at gothic romance books, check out this list as well. Or if you love dark romance books, don’t hesitate to click that button!
