Monica James writes contemporary and dark romance about obsession, betrayal, revenge and relationships that often continue across multiple volumes. The I Surrender series follows Jasper and Ava through a volatile relationship, while All the Pretty Things begins a darker trilogy with Bad Saint and places romance inside captivity and criminal danger. The Something Like Normal books and other series move between emotional contemporary romance and more suspense-driven plots. James's novels are explicit, dramatic and strongly serialised, with cliffhangers common when a relationship spans several books. They fit dark romance, romantic suspense, angsty contemporary romance and connected multi-book relationship arcs. Read more Less
