The story of Darling Venom unfolds from the perspectives of Charlotte, Kellen, and Tate. Charlotte meets Kellen on the rooftop of their school when both are contemplating ending their lives. In a twist of fate, instead of following through, they make a pact to meet each year on the same day to check on one another. For three years, they keep this promise, but on the fourth year, Kellen makes a devastating choice that leaves Charlotte reeling with grief and guilt. Enter Tate, Kellen’s estranged brother, whom Charlotte initially blames for Kellen’s death. However, as Charlotte gets to know Tate, she begins to unravel his own struggles with loss and pain. As their lives become intertwined, Charlotte and Tate find themselves on a fragile path toward healing. But can they mend their broken hearts, or will the weight of their pasts tear them apart for good?


“Love is just being there for someone. It’s that simple,” captures the essence of true love—being present for someone in their darkest moments.


“Opportunity lasts a moment. Regret lasts a lifetime,” reminds us that missed chances can lead to lifelong regret if we don’t seize them.


“You can’t experience happiness without knowing fear and pain,” emphasizes that joy is often found through the contrast of life's difficulties, reminding readers that happiness is most cherished after hardship.


If you’re a fan of the brother’s best friend trope, and you're looking for an emotional, tear-jerking read, Darling Venom is the perfect pick. Huntington delivers a raw and deeply emotional story that will leave readers reflecting on love, loss, and the process of healing.


For those seeking a romance that tugs at the heartstrings while diving into the complexities of mental health, Darling Venom offers a powerful, cathartic experience.
