Make Me Sin: Dark Gods #1
Make Me A Sinner
When the darkness calls for you, there's no escape
What’s worse than a dark god wanting you?
Maybe you wanting him back?
Set Malvagio—the direct descendant of the Devil, candy to the eye and poison to the soul. The man everyone fears more than death. That’s because death seems like the easy way out when it comes to him. And I learned that the hard way—I’ve become the focus of his obsession.
A series of bad life choices sucked me right into his world and there’s no denying the unavoidable.
He wants me to be his—by body, by blood, and by soul—as he holds the final call over my existence.
He stalked and hunted me, destroying everything I knew—myself included—only to rebuild me back in his own world.
I want to hate him so badly that every second I fall for him hurts like daggers being plunged into my soul, and I’m afraid that if I remain by his side, soon I will no longer have a soul for him to tamper with.
He is a cold-blooded criminal, and I, the new goal of his existence. His newest creation.
With every new challenge, he’s taking me down a road of no return.
And that can only end in ruin.
Set, creator of my darkness, destroyer of my soul.
Be prepared for betrayal, angst, and emotions that will send chills down your spine and waves of heat between your thighs to make you crave the darkness.
Make Me Sin is a stalker mafia dark romance with fantasy elements and CNC, knife play, blood play, dub-con, jealous/possessive antihero, and a lot more TWs listed inside the book
Keep in mind this is book 1 of a duet, which will be part of a whole new universe.
Be advised, Make Me Sin is not just a dark romance. This will become your new addiction.

this book took me all over the place but was so worth it
February 5, 2025
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about Make Me Sin beyond, I like it. It definitely had me enthralled the entire time. You wanna talk about slow burn, enemies-to-lovers? Lord have mercy. The plot was just so good and the chemistry between Set and Serena hit so well.
There was just something about the book that made me knock down a star. I truly can't say what it was that would have made this a perfect 5, it just felt like something was missing. I am looking forward to the sequel for sure though. I need to know how it all turns out.

Riveting
No words. Read in one sitting. They are ying and yang and alike at the same time. They balance each other but Serena wants freedom but she knows it won't work. Can't help but think she wants to test the fullness of the boundaries. Wait for the explosion!

Jeg havde ærligt ikke regnet med, at den her bog ville ramme mig sådan her. Især ikke efter starten.
Starten var sløv. Så sløv, at jeg skimmede en del kapitler bare for at se, om der skete noget. Det trækker ned, og det er grunden til, at den ikke får 5 stjerner.
Men så skete der noget.
Den fangede mig. Ikke på grund af plottet alene. Ikke på grund af twistet. Men på grund af dynamikken – og især FMC.
Hun er passiv, ja. Men ikke på en irriterende måde. Ikke på en “jeg er ligeglad med mit liv”-måde. Hun reagerer realistisk. Hun reagerer som en person, der har været i noget usundt før, og som ikke bare kan slippe ting, selv når hun ved, hun burde.
Og det ramte mig.
Jeg kunne forstå hende. Ikke fordi vi er ens, men fordi hendes måde at reagere på gav mening. Hun holder sig i ro, fordi hun ved, han er farlig. Hun stikker af, fordi hun ikke kan leve med den version af sig selv, han vækker. Hun kan ikke læse hans tanker. Hun ved ikke, at han ville brænde verden ned for hende. Hun ved kun, at han kan dræbe.
Og derfor giver hendes valg mening.
MMC er ikke en blød “dark hero”. Han er farlig. Voldfarlig. Og besat. Det er kontrasten mellem hans brutalitet og hans totale beskyttelse af hende, der gør det intenst.
Twistet med, at han ikke er helt menneskelig? Jeg havde ikke set det komme, men det føltes ikke forkert. Det åbnede historien i stedet for at ødelægge den.
Cliffhanger? Ja. Er jeg sur? Nej. Jeg er nysgerrig.
Den her bog er ikke perfekt. Den er ujævn. Men den gjorde noget ved mig. Den fik mig ind i historien på en måde, jeg ikke har oplevet i noget tid.
⭐ Why these stars
What worked:
De sidste ca. 40 % af bogen. Det var her, den for alvor tog fart. Intensiteten mellem FMC og MMC, de mørke, psykologiske spil og især kapitlerne fra hans POV gjorde en kæmpe forskel. Dynamikken bar det hele. Frygt blandet med begær, kontrol blandet med tilbageholdenhed. Twistet mod slutningen med, at han ikke er helt menneskelig, åbnede historien og gjorde mig oprigtigt nysgerrig på bog 2. Slutningen og cliffhangeren fungerede for mig, fordi FMC’s flugt gav mening.
What didn’t:
Tempoet i starten. Opbygningen var for langsom, med mange gentagelser og for meget fokus på hverdag og sidekarakterer. Jeg skimmede flere kapitler, fordi jeg havde brug for, at der skete noget. Payoffet var godt, men det kom sent – og det koster den halve stjerne.
How it made me feel:
Utålmodig og frustreret i starten. Næsten klar til at give op. Men jo længere jeg kom, desto mere investeret blev jeg. Til sidst var jeg mundlam, nysgerrig og havde svært ved at slippe bogen. Det var længe siden, en dark romance havde fanget mig på den måde.
Would I read it again?
Måske. Især de sidste kapitler og MMC’s POV. Men jeg ville nok være forberedt på den langsomme start.
Read this if:
– du kan holde til slow burn
– du kan lide dark romance med magtkamp og besiddelse
– du vil have en FMC, der reagerer realistisk frem for heroisk
– du ikke har noget imod en cliffhanger
– du er nysgerrig på et twist, der bevæger sig i retning af det overnaturlige
Ikke perfekt, men en af de vigtigste læseoplevelser for mig i februar.

After a run of disastrous decisions leads her even further into trouble, Serena is now at the mercy of the ever powerful mafia boss Set Malvagio.... who just happens to be the son of the devil.
What does he want? Her by body, by blood, by soul.
But maybe she wants him back?
Set, creator of my darkness, destroyer of my soul.
LORD HAVE MERCY 🤤
To quote the title of the book Set Malvagio Make Me Sin!!!! I cannot put into words the hold of this man.
Slow burn... check
First person.... check
Enemies to lovers... check
Spiiiiiice.... check check check
I loved the dual POV chapters. Getting into both characters heads was perfection. AND THE ENDING?!?!?! I thought I had it sussed out as we got further along, I could not have been more wrong! I genuinely had a book from my never-ending tbr list queued up for the next read but I'm having to ignore it and go straight for number 2! I need to see how Set and Serena's story will end!
Extensive trigger warning menu so you know the drill peeps, give them a read through before delving in!
Happy Reading 🖤📚

Make Me Sin started as a slow burner for me, but once it found its rhythm, I was absolutely hooked. What began as a steady simmer quickly turned into a full-on, heart‑pounding read I couldn’t put down.
The suspense is constant—one of those delicious, creeping tensions that keeps you leaning forward, waiting for the next emotional hit. Serena’s turmoil was one of my favourite parts of the story. Her inner conflict felt raw and real, and watching her navigate that emotional storm pulled me in deeper with every chapter.
And that ending… I was not prepared. Completely shocked, in the best way. It tied the whole journey together with a punch that lingered long after I finished.

is Set a monster or a man obsessed?
Serenas life is a tough one, her boyfriend Nick is a waste of space, the only one she cared about is gone but now there’s a devil of a man that’s obsessed with her! I really enjoyed this first book, left on a cliffhanger that I wasn’t expecting but I’m desperate to see where book 2 takes us. The player has been played and I look forward to their seeing each other again, a matter of when not if. Love Serena, shes fiery and strong when needed, shes the human spirit that can control and calm Set the dark devil until she disappears. The chase is on.

I’m kinda torn on this one. It had its moments, but overall it was honestly pretty hard to get through. It’s a very slow burn—like we’re talking 70% in before the spice finally started spicing. And while I don’t mind a build-up, this one felt like it dragged more than it hooked me.
The FMC… I just couldn’t fully get on board with her. Her whole holier-than-thou attitude got under my skin more than anything, and it made it hard to really connect with the story.
By the time things finally picked up, I was already a little checked out. Even with the cliffhanger at the end, I’m not exactly running for the next book. It wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t hit the way I was hoping it would.

The ending, no, you took a part of my soul. I'm still debating if I should read the second book or not. In some point, I do want to know how the story ends; however, am I able to handle it? I haven't seen any reviews about the 2nd book yet.
Set says he has no patience, but when it comes to Serena, he seems to have a lot of it. Certain times I couldn't understand her thinking, but ok that still makes the story good. But after how the book ended, how can Set ever forgive her?

To DNF at 79% may seem crazy...but I literally just could not read one more word. And trust me, I really tried.
That far in and the MC and the FMC hadn't had sex...in a book that's supposed to be a dark erotic romance???? How?!?
Also, the MC did nothing for me because he was continuously threatening to hurt and kill the FMC - and while he (and the readers) knew he struggled with meaning it, the FMC never did. Call me crazy, but I like my MCs possessive and unhinged for their women, not always threatening to kill their women.

Dark , spicy and impossible to put down
The story pulls you into a dangerous, seductive world of secrets, power and forbidden attraction. The main characters have strong chemistry and their tension keeps you hooked up from the beginning. I love the dark vibe and the way the romance slowly turns intense and emotional.If you enjoy morally gray characters, slow-burn heat and a touch of danger with your love story this book is a must read.

"I fought battles and wars, and I would die for any of my brothers... but I would live for her."
Story with spicy elements. The Egyptian edge is intriguing. I appreciated that Serena is a strong female character - she is stronger than I am! Humorous, sexy, with an uncomplicated yet disarming plot; this book is dark mafia romantasy with charm.

Intoxicating!!!
I love what in my opinion is the slow burn! The description of Set is simply delicious! Ro say the least. The authors attention to detail is mostly what kept me reading. I'm excited to start book two!!!

What did I just read.
I mean, I wanted to finish but I’m just not sure. Unfortunately this was not a book for me. The stars are for the spice.

DNF on this one for me. I just couldn’t get into it enough. It’s ok, and the storyline is mostly there, but it just didn’t hook my attention.

I tried for days to get into this book but couldn't. This just wasnt for me.

Slowburn
Although it is a slowburn it definitely keeps you wanting more. When the heat scenes finally arrive, it does not disappoint.

I liked Set but Serena is damn near unbearable (great writing for a hate-able character).
February 13, 2026
200 pages in and im bored as all get out. not even a kiss. and it got so weird. im for a slow burn but it was so repetitive and almost no dialog between characters. I tried my best to like it
March 14, 2026
Combine an obsession with a Godlike entity.
Add dark humor, bad decisions and spice to the mix and watch what happens.
This book made me laugh, cry, scream in anger.
Absolutely breathtaking.

I really struggled with this book. There were moments where I couldn’t put it down but then there was more times then not I was getting annoyed. I’m kind of upset about this one.
April 8, 2026
It was definitely a very slow burner but once the story took off and it got a bit juicer it was definitely worth a read. Now onto book 2, Make Me A Sinner.

Love it

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I felt like this book was a lesson in personal edging!!! I loved the story and writing so much that I actually didn’t care, but I really didn’t need the actual spice to only hit in like the last 30 pages! But the payout was good, so I’ll let it slide.
I was originally sold on this book being a standalone so was getting confused on where I was at with the story with so few pages left, but now I see it’s a duet. Guess I must “add to cart” now!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
