We are Anna and Lee Thorson, two sisters who love to read and write. We started The Sinful Reader in 2023 and since then, it has become more than just a dream—it is a haven for those who revel in dark stories that challenge, thrill, and captivate.

Our mission is to celebrate the beauty of the dark romance genre by providing book-inspired merchandise using sustainable means, writing honest book reviews, and fostering a supportive space where readers and aspiring authors can connect, share opinions, and grow together.

At the heart of The Sinful Reader is our commitment to the dark romance community. We believe in the transformative power of storytelling and the bonds it creates among those who dare to explore it. Our love for this creative, inclusive, and passionate community runs deep. It is a love born from nights spent lost in pages, countless conversations with kindred spirits, and the joy of sharing stories.

We created The Sinful Reader to be a place where every visitor feels seen, inspired, and connected—because, like the stories we cherish, we believe the best journeys are the ones we take together.
