Awe. The couple that does naughty things together stays together. Hehe? No, that doesn't sound right. What do I know about relationships, though? The secrecy from the club, along with the masks, gave all the dirty deeds more power. Listen, though. Piercings? While they bumped nasties? Dude. Y'all are kinky, twisted weirdos. Hehe. If they had kept it to that no judgment or shade would be thrown. When they took it a step too far, that is when this crazy love story was a no go for me. They both need therapy and maybe a Psych ward. Decent quick read after a weekend away at Disney, though.

pitch black & wickedly depraved

Too many TW’s to list or try to recall! This is definitely a pitch black short story that’s pure filth! Imagine a bdsm club where just about anything is allowed and an owner who takes things way too far, but finds a woman just as twisted as he is. Masked MMC. Taking place around Halloween time. - Spice: 5/5.

A very deeply disturbing yet intriguing experience that I couldn't put down. 4 🌟, 3.5 🌶, and dark rating 🩻!
If your in need of a dark read with lots of blood play, forced piercings, and masked characters this might be up your alley. You follow Ezra who is the owner of the Masked Sinner, a pleasure club that tends to the darker fetishes and fantasies. A sex club that has safety protocols and waivers to sign! A man that is walking sin on a stick that oozes darkness and for good reason, he's not into getting his jellies the usual way. But when he spots Raven in his club in distress he comes to her rescue only to ask if she'd like to play. Raven is torn between following logic or her heart. As her body and mind betrays her and things don't go as planned in the play room. Things hit the fan for Ezra, baffled by his emotions and shocked to his core because he just might have met his match! A quick read but definitely not everyone's cup of tea, trigger warning check a must for anyone interested!!
What to expect...
Masked, depraved mmc, ffm, bdsm dungeon, blood play, forced piercings, murder, bondage, sutures, branding, edging, fisting, multiple pov, possessive, protect her, psycho, morally black mmc, dark romance!

Wrecked By Wickedness

"Masked Sinner" by Mania Balor isn’t just dark—it’s a savage, no-holds-barred assault on your senses. This filthy little masterpiece grabs you by the throat and dares you to survive the wreckage. Raven and Ezra are two forces of chaos colliding in a maelstrom of brutal need, vicious chemistry, and raw, feral obsession. Their encounters are not soft or sane—they're unhinged explosions of lust and power, leaving bruises on your mind and scorch marks on your soul. Mania Balor doesn’t flirt with darkness—she feeds it steroids, chains it up, and lets it tear you apart. This story isn’t just spicy; it’s a freakin' fever dream you’ll crawl back to, begging for more punishment. They didn’t fall for each other; they devoured each other.

"She doesn’t know what she has gotten herself into and fuck if that doesn’t make my dick hard."

Dannng, that was so dark and wayyy too short! Definitely got a good feel for the characters within such a short time, it was written well, and just wow... dark!
I really like reading kink club books and this one took it to another level! The characters were instantly drawn to eachother and they really got to explore **things**
I don't want to give anything away but be prepared it is dark so check those TWs!!! Overall it was really good and if you're into these books, give this one a read!!

This novella was not quite my cup of tea. However, based on what it was I still don't think it was very good. This book is very repetitive & overall vague & boring. Some ideas & themes could have been elaborated on to make it better but they were just left as one liners (like in the example of the raven mask/ animal). Usually novellas like this one can be held together by the spice but even that was rushed through & uneventful & just extremely boring.

This was a good read! The MMC is a s€x club owner with very dark kînks. The has the girls he plays with sign a d€ath waiver for a reason!
The FMC is an office employee that is curious about the club that her friend takes her along to.
When these two get together both their worlds change up a bit and their monsters learn to play well with each other. Please check your triggers! I gave it 4 Stars and 5 Spice

[Christy Corliss · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a dark and spicy novella, this is definitely the book to read! It's a super fast read and definitely pushes some boundaries in the best way. Ezra and Raven both have a sinister side that they bring out in each. I do recommend reading the trigger warnings before reading this novella!

[L.M. Payson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a dark novella that is a short fast read. Ezra is a psycho with a secret no one knows but his best friend. He meets Raven and wants her. Instead of running, Raven wants to get to know Ezra. They find the monster within each other. This story has many triggers be sure to read those before you continue with the story.

Beedy Es Em, but Darker!

4⭐️/5🔥

WOW! I didn't see that coming! A quickie read and nonstop spice, with a darker twist than you're used to. Our MMC is a monster in the streets and on the table. Our FMC is not as innocent as we thought at the beginning. This one went left real quick, but I like being thrown off kilter, so it was fun for me.

[Kara · Rating 5 out of 5]

wow!

This book is dark! I loved it though.

Please make sure to read the trigger warnings before you read it. You might be a little turned off from it but sometimes books aren’t for everybody.

Fffuuuccckkk!!! That was a wild fucking ride!!! My first read by this author and I am hooked. This book is dark and messed up. Check your triggers before reading it. But also.... Ezra is one got as fuck psycho monster that I want all to myself. Raven is his perfect match. This was hot as hell!!

[aromanticshelf · Rating 2 out of 5]

this is disturbingly hot. think erotic horror and romance mixed together but it’s not exactly dark or horror romance either. but i found that the writing isn’t good. it’s vague and repetitive, otherwise this would’ve been good.

[Cristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the definition of a dark novella. Very very fast read. Do I need therapy after this? Probably. Did I love every second of it? Absolutely. Ezra and Raven find the monster inside each other, and instead of running, fully embrace it. I strongly suggest reading the list of triggers before giving this one a go. It's not for the squeamish

[TD · Rating 5 out of 5]

Geezus!! You have two options:
Go in blind, or don't. I didn't, and this short story threw me for a loop🤣

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Woah with the blood play… 😅🫣
To be honest, it was pretty repetitive so it dragged on a bit. It’s definitely dark, but an okay super quick read for the dark romance folks.

[Brandi Gamble · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is Not what I was expecting what’s so ever but I will say I did enjoy it quite a bit it’s much darker the. I have ever read

[Heath Steph Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t know what I expected aside from bdsm, but it gave it all too me. Lol monsters finding their monsters in the most brutal way. Definitely read your trigger warnings, otherwise happy hunting 😈

[Kristen · Rating 1 out of 5]

Any longer and this would have put me in a reading slump.

[Reading_with_AAron · Rating 4 out of 5]

This pitch black novella is great for fans of masked men and women that don't mind a little bdsm and blood amongst their unaliving and playtime! This was a fast paced short read!

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

give me more Ezra and Raven!!!!!

[PJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is super dark. Read the trigger warnings twice before jumping into this one. It is 64 pages of zero substance and all BDSM murderous smut. You can't say you were not warned.
