Author Katharine Spence
Most know her as Miss Katharine - she isn’t following the dark romance trend, she is coming to disturb it. Dark romance author Katharine Spence is known for her debut novel’s fast pace, captivating and precise character design, and her consistent jaw-dropping content every chapter. Through the use of atypical storylines and character development she is able to connect with her audience on a personal level. While shocking a dark romance reader is difficult, Katharine Spence keeps her readers on their toes and values their voices.
The List of Firsts
When Lizzie, an innocent and conservative first-year college student is instantly enamored with the mysterious and bold Student Council President (Adler Draven), she finds out he may not be who she hoped he was. In this novel, she knows nothing and he promises her everything, maybe a little too enthusiastically. When Adler asks her to make a list of sexual firsts she has yet to experience so he can help her cross things off, she is absolutely on board ... that is until he claims the list as his own. As Adler adds unthinkable items to the list both his and Lizzie's pasts resurface, explaining both of their erratic behaviors. It all comes down to one very conditional ultimatum that Lizzie must complete in order to even have a chance at Adler's love. Things get complicated when you don't know your enemy is your enemy until his love is no longer a want but a need. Maybe she doesn’t have to decide if he is a god on earth or the devil himself. Maybe he could be both.
