Love Me to Death

Our take

Necromancy is illegal here, which makes the necromancer at the center of this story a wanted man before anything else goes wrong. He accidentally resurrects a rich man's bride and gets bound to her by an old ritual. From there, a love triangle no one asked for spirals fast. Reviewers compare the tone to Frankenstein, minus the doom and plus a one-eyed cat for comic relief. Forbidden-romance readers get exactly what's promised: illegal magic, wrong-person entanglements, and consequences that keep escalating. A bisexual protagonist caught in a triangle this messy is a genre staple done with real bite.

Content note: expect a full love triangle dynamic, not just background jealousy, plus resurrection and body-horror-adjacent necromancy throughout. The forbidden angle comes from the magic being illegal, not from the relationship itself, which keeps the danger structural rather than moralistic. Paranormal romance fans get ritual magic, a cursed bond, and a slow unraveling of what the bride actually wants once she's back.
