Wicked Games: A Prequel Dark Horror Romance Novella
A black envelope with silver filigree, a house long abandoned by residents, and a tragedy covered up in the bayou. What did these three things have in common?
Harper
When I received an invitation to the House of Horrors at the once beautiful Toussaint Manor, unease had filled every fiber of my being. And like the dumbass I was, I still went. What I didn’t know was that once I stepped foot inside, I might not ever leave.
Minos
Harper Leigh was beautiful, but beneath her sweet facade, I knew that she was a snake, just like the rest of her friends. She had to pay for the pain she’d caused, preferably in blood.
Erebus
Once I caught sight of the woman with haunting eyes and midnight colored hair, I knew that she had to be mine. My brother wanted to punish her, but I wanted to keep her. That could only happen if she lived through our trials.
Wicked Games is a dark contemporary romance novella where the main character will have more than one love interest–eventually. It contains dark themes, language, and explicit content that may not be for every reader. This book is for mature readers only.

“Plus, gators have souls. Dear Maman taught us that.”
GA LA FA, GA LA FA!!!
I've been reading a lot of Halloween novellas recently, some good, some bad, some just okay, but this one? It blew all of them right out of the water.
I thought I was in for an average read, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. It was clear from the start that a lot of thought was put into the setting, plot and characters. They felt well-developed, especially for such a short read.
The revenge trope, which is one of my favourites, is ever so present in this. Not only do Vi's brothers get revenge for their sister, but Harper Leigh gets revenge on her cheating boyfriend too, what's not to love?
There's also a pet gator called Gumbo and people who seemingly disappear into thin air. There's something spooky going on, I can't wait to find out what.
Now that cliffhanger ending...masterfully done. I'm already suffering. WHEN'S THE NEXT BOOK COMING Y'ALL??? I know that this one practically just came out, but still. Can't leave is hanging like that, it's cruel.
The paperback is going on my wishlist immediately, this is going to be one of my favourite series for sure.
P. S. Do check the content warnings, it gets dark!!

This Novella left me wanting more!!! Revenge served deliciously.
These two authors together create utter chaos in the most delicious way. Twisted and wrong but I'm here for it.
This book starts out with a party gone wrong and a families way to take revenge for someone lost due to the actions of others.
Welcome to Wicked Games, where a beautiful invitation turns into a fun house of childhood games turned deadly and gruesome. There's betrayal, cheating boyfriend with supposed friend, and 4 disturbingly off their rocker men who have created this house of horrors.
Read the trigger and content warnings because this isn't a scary clown, jump scare kind of book. There's SA, noncon/dubcon situations that are spicy and disturbing. The ending left me wanting to throw my reading device and want to send angry messages but knowing these two...more fuckery is right around the corner and who knows there could be more to follow!!

“You wish you could hate me, Harper. You wish that your body didn’t like the things that it does.”
Wicked Games is a great horror novella ready to read right in time for Halloween! It’s a blend of Saw & the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a southern Louisiana setting - the bayous surrounding NOLA. Revenge and secrets, blood and gore, and depictions of darker kinks.
Due to its shorter length, I would not consider this novella a “romance”; rather, it’s a horror story with the potential for further relationship exploration in later books.
It ends at a significant cliffhanger; I cannot wait to see what happens next.
⚠️ Very Dark Elements/Themes Warning – check TWs ⚠️
Genre: Dark Southern Gothic Horror Romance
Tropes/Features: Very dark elements/themes, captive/captor, forced proximity, enemies to lovers (kind of), virgin FMC, unhinged brothers, gore, violence, lies, bloody revenge plot, primal play, gun play, obsession, noncon
Narrator: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: NA (eventually a why choose), fast burn, spicy
Book Type/Ending: Prequel novella, cliffhanger ending

CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !
OMGGGGGGGG, I just devoured this book in one sitting! It’s the perfect short horror-fast burn, why-choose, revenge plot, featuring four unhinged, morally gray masked men and an innocent, virgin FMC along with her stupid friends . This is a very dark book, giving Jigsaw, Squid Game n I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes. If you’re into those movies, you’ll def want to read this; otherwise, maybe skip it if you don't hv n stomach "cause it’s packed with graphic" torturous games that could be mentally and emotionally disturbing. It ended on a cliffhanger, and I’m already dying for the next bookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

September 8, 2025dnf @ 37% — I am astounded this novella has over a 4 star rating. In just 27 pages the women of this book have all been referred to as bitches and one of the mmc threatens to graphically rip out one of the women’s reproductive organs. There is zero graphic detail about the other men in the story only the women. Also why the reproductive organs specifically??
To add to the fact that not only do they have dumb names, both the mmcs believe the fmc to be MOST at fault for an event that had nothing to do with her and not the THREE other people who actually committed the crime. She also wasn’t there because she had just learned horrible news about her family???

Wicked Games ARC Review
Wow! Everything about PH Nix and Celeste Night’s book Wicked Games is phenomenal! The prologue alone is a gut punch that will have your head spinning!
After a shocking prologue, readers are introduced to Harper Leigh, an innocent southern belle who’s on her way to an invitation only haunted house with her boyfriend and friends. We get the sense that all may not be as it seems with Harper’s companions, and the imagery that Nix and Night create sets an unsettling tone for a night that will have a nightmare ending.
Wicked Games’ villains are something straight from Hell. We truly only meet two of them in this first book, Minos and Erebus; however we do get glimpses of all four. While both are equally dark and demented, Minos and Erebus initially want different endings for our dear southern beauty; it would seem, as the story progresses, however, that our murderous party hosts conclude that Harper may just deserve to live after all.
With gruesomely beautiful traps laid throughout the gothic Toussaint Manor, Harper quickly realizes that she needs to do whatever it takes to survive… and as secrets are revealed, pushing those limits may just become easier as the night goes on.
Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Wicked Games. Be mindful of your trigger warnings… this book is not for the faint of heart. It isn’t just dark. It’s pitch black. And I can’t wait to see what book 2 has in store! 🖤

Ууу довбаний кліфхенгер!
Новела хороша, але мені треба більше! В цілому стиль написання і сюжет мені сподобались. Цікава задумка, мікс Піли і Я знаю, що ви скоїли минулого літа + трохи містики. Далі трохи тезісно.
• Класні прізвиська з давньогрецьких міфів, якщо покапатися в їх значеннях, то вони ідеально пасують персонажам.
• Алігатор в якості домашнього улюбленця це щось новеньке.
• Не зрозуміла чого вони звинувачують Гарпер, якщо її немає на відео, де Ві вмирає. У чуваків було 4 місяці, щоб розібратися що до чого. Гарпер теж цікава. Їй сказали, що її бесті зникнула, і вона така "ну ок". Камон, може трохи спробуєш її пошукати.
• Остання сцена 18+ для мене ту мач. Мені подобаються гареми, але тут це просто групове зґвалтування.
Схоже це 0.5 до майбутньої серії і думаю нас чекає ччччж. Чекаю на продовження.

HOLY SH*T! P.H. Nix and Celeste Night did not hold back on this one. An invitation, games of live or unalive, a virgin FMC, and plenty of devious morally grey men!
I could not put this book down! It made me gasp, it made me laugh hysterically, and it made me flustered in all the best ways. I can’t wait for more because I have so many thoughts and questions!

Arc Review
Complaint number one: it’s too short. It’s a dope af novella that had me HOOKED from the prologue and had me gasping while reading. Complaint number two: THE FUCKING CLIFFHANGER. Guys… for real, what the fuck. I’m Britney bitch! Gimmie more, Gimmie Gimmie more!!! Complaint number three: I really have no legitimate complaints. This Halloween haunted house novella was everything I could have asked for. It gave me the best Jigsaw vibes ever and a chase scene through the woods that ends with *chefs kiss* stuffed AF turducken.

Yes. Yes. And yes!
On their own, these two authors are incredible, but together, they are one twisted powerhouse.
I couldn't wait to devour this novella, so naturally I am very disappointed that it ended so quickly and I have to wait for them to write the next part. Wicked Games left me absolutely ravenous for more!
Even in the small amount that was given, the authors still managed to give us a great prequel leading us to a much larger story. The pacing was full speed ahead so be prepared for that cliff's edge.
Wicked Games is very reminiscent to SAW, a torturous house of horrors with a heaping spoonful of spice. From a dark romance perspective, I would say this is a deep gray to the edges of black writing since it does contain a bit of graphic content. Dissecting this from a (borderline erotic) horror view point, I would say this is a good toe dipper. It gives the reader a chance to tie toe around the edges and experiment with a different genre from what they are used to.

I want to be Erabus’ “Little Nightmare”
This 70 page novella had plot, spice, revenge and horror all in one! Well done! I ate it up in one go!
I love that Harper became this bad ass at the end, when everyone got what they finally deserved. You get 4 brothers and 1 lucky girl!
I need this to be longer! I can’t wait for the second book!

"Run, little nightmare. Your demons are coming."
I have a problem.
Is it the kind of books I read? No.
Is it the fact I like the content in these books? No.
My problem is, that this is a prequel and I want to read more NOW. Yesterday even.
I really liked this short and spicy horror romance. It had the triple D 😏 Dark, depraved and delicious.
I don't want to spoil the story for the review readers, but let me just say this:
The story was fun, in a horror and spice loving kind of way. The games were sick. The characters were out for revenge and they got it. I loved it.
I can't wait for the next book!

didn't realize this was only 70 pages when I ordered it........or I wouldn't have ordered it ! This book was hard for me to rate, I really like the plot of the book. However, the characters were really hard to like, but I guess that comes with the territory of shoving everything into 70 pages. It did keep your attention tho, I really liked the whole tarot card thrown in their at the end. Loved the cliff hanger at the end of the "book." I wasn't into the whole gang bang scene, and I thought it was very strange that Harper Leigh and Viola were supposed to look alike, and all of Viola's brothers were attracted to her....

Omg this book!! My spooky little heart loved every minute of this book. These men were everything especially Erebus 🫠 Harper really came out of her shell as the book went on. And I loved how fierce her character was by the end. This book definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. And the spice in here was top tier 🤌🏼 And that ending 😱 I couldn’t get enough of this book!! It’s definitely a must read if you love masked men 😏

Spicy, dark and delicious 😋
Loved this novella! Can't wait for more! They go in thinking it'll be a fun night with friends. Little did they realize it was all for revenge. Slowly Harper sees what her "friends" truly are and feeds that darkness inside of her.
Harper survives the games but at what cost.
I still know what you did last summer mashed with saw😈 your in for a real treat.

This novella was knocked out of the park! I absolutely loved the whole story. I also like Harper Leigh as a character. The things these authors had to think of to put into these games was crazy! It was dark and delicious!! Highly recommend. Check TW/CW

I absolutely love how dark this is. There's a lot I want to say about it but if I say them, you'll probably figure out the story quickly. So, I'll just try my best to explain how good this novella is!
WARNING: if you DID NOT LIKE Haunting Adeline, this is NOT for you.
When the content warnings include "extremely graphic torture, extremely graphic murder, extremely graphic violence" they were NOT lying. So definitely read thr warnings before you join the games!
The prologue started this off very well. The mystery behind who's point of view it was really got me invested even more. You just had to keep reading to find out who it was. The suspense with the events happening and then... ugh. I just have no words. Because these are elements in a book that I absolutely enjoy.
As the story progresses, I just couldn't put it down at that point. To be honest, I thought it was a full novel and didn't check again until I was halfway down that it's actually a novella. So it did take me longer to finish reading because of life happening. If I went into this knowing it was a novella, it would have been finished in half a day.
There is spice in the pages. Not as much as you would think but this could definitely survive without it. It was just the icing and cherry on top!
All I have to say now is, run. Don't walk. Run for your life. Because you WANT this in your reading list.
