Dark Verse (Series by RuNyx)
RuNyx writes the “Dark Verse” series. This dark romantic suspense series is continuous. Each of the novels is a part of a larger plot with different couples. As a result, these books have to be read in order.

“The Predator” is the first novel in the “Dark Verse” series and was released in 2020. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object out in the field of death?

Tristan Caine, in the dark underbelly of the mob, has proved to be quite the anomaly. Since he’s the one and only non-blooded member in the high circle of the Tenebrae Outfit, he’s an enigma to everybody, his morality questionable, his abilities unmatched, and his motives are unknown. He is deadly and knows it.

So does Morana Vitalio, the genius extraordinaire daughter of the rival family. What Caine does with weapons, Morana is able to do with computers. When this twenty year old mystery resurfaces, Morana infiltrates Caine’s own house, intent on killing the guy, unaware of this tie that binds them both together. Heat, history, and hate clash together with unexpected sparks.

However something much bigger and even worse is happening in their world. Despite their animosity, only they will be able to fight it down.

The sexual tension in the novel is savage, and some readers found themselves being constantly on edge because of it. Readers found Tristan to be such a hot character and it was almost too much to handle. Morana took just a few pages and readers just adored her fully. Together, these two have you by the throat, because they are dangerous and intense.

“The Reaper” is the second novel in the “Dark Verse” series and was released in 2020. What happens when the untameable wind and the neverending sea collide in the dead of night?

Tristan “The Predator” Caine had not been prepared for Morana Vitalio. After spending his whole life with this vow that he broke some rainy night, he finds himself being torn in this battle between his painful past and an uncertain future. The one thing he does know? Her life still belongs to him.

The line, for Morana, between allies and enemies has blurred. Everything that she used to hold dear has disintegrated and the known gapes at her, leaving her with both her life and freedom being put on the line in enemy territory. Only thing that she knows? His life has always belonged to her.

With twenty years of history that ties them together, Morana and Tristan start their hunt for the truth together. And they realize that this mystery behind the missing girls is only the tip of the iceberg. Dominoes start to fall and skeletons are uncovered. A storm is born.

Fans of the novel especially loved the final 10%, and felt themselves vibrating with excitement, it was just so chaotic. Readers adored Morana, a lot. She is so sane and patient, with a brain. And the way she shamelessly dotes on Caine is absolutely incredible. Fans found this novel sets the standard for how the enemies to lovers trope should be written and is the best enemies to lovers book there is.

Infiltrating the Syndicate responsible for all those missing kids, he finds some information which shatters his reality and ultimately forces him to trigger this lethal game.

Amara, daughter of the Maroni housekeeper, has loved Dante much longer than even she has known.
