Cry Baby: Taboo MM Erotic Horror
Cry Baby
I was raised on a leash.
Not metaphorically or poetically…
An actual fucking collar around my throat, bolted to the concrete beside Mistress’s bed.
I learned early on that obedience tasted better than starvation and blood could be washed away, where broken bones couldn’t be.
At night I was freed from my chains…
sent as her prized dog to hunt for her next bitch.
My job was
Find them, break them, sell them.
Until him…
He thought he was hunting a monster.
He didn’t realize I was leading him straight into my cage.

"Somehow, somewhere between the shoving and the yelling, my hand had stayed exactly where it landed. Curled in the front of his jacket. Close enough to feel the steady rise and fall of his breathing beneath the fabric. I loosened my grip, but he didn’t. Neither of us said anything now. The air between us felt heavier than it had any right to, and I felt the thickness in my throat gather. It was like the argument had stopped being about the guy from the bar ten minutes ago, and was now something else entirely. Us."

I don't know what i expected from this book. If you do not want spoilers, do not read further.
For starters the book had no triggers and referred to a website. The website does not have the book nor the triggers, unless I missed it somewere.
That's beside the point.
I don't have triggers, give me grit and gore any day.
Why give this book 1 ⭐️
Well, first of it's a MM Dark Erotic Horror. He has a mistress who owns him, and at one point eats her out. Melanie had her b😀😀bs all over him in scene which makes it MF and MFM because she was all over the "mark". Maybe with Hollis entering the book, perhaps the sequel, it will be truly MM? Who knows. I really did not want to read MF in a MM book.
I understand Cry Baby is a headcase, but darn, the first chapters were hard to get through. It felt repetitive and at some point I thought I should put the book down. None the less, it picked up about half way through the book when he started "hunting".
Depravity is the word here, and if the author tried to go for shock factor, I would say, perhaps the author succeeded in some way.
Description of what was in the bag in the beginning and end, well I think some people would be sensitive to it, but for me it was just meh.
The book also ended in a cliffhanger which, if I had known, I would not have picked it up to begin with.
Perhaps with book two, the plot will thicken with Hollis and Cry Baby being related? Who knows.
Hollis for sure knows that Cry Baby is linked to the missing men.
I can't see that this would continue as a MM books as Hollis and Cry Baby are on opposite ends and Hollis will for sure try to link him to the case of the missing men. Unless he is a headcase too, which he has in common with Cry Baby, the counting of things giving this away. Which brings me again to my point. I can't see that this is a MM book unless there are more scenes with Cry Baby training his "pets".
As for the Erotic aspect of the book, there were a handful of scenes that contained MFM, the rest were MF. I would hardly call this erotic.
For me, this book was a hit and miss on MM, Horror and Erotic.

ARC REVIEW
Am I depraved for enjoying this? 🙈😂
I finished this book in just a couple of hours, mostly with my mouth hanging open. By the end, I was seriously questioning my own sanity. 😂
Don’t read this for the smut, and especially not for the romance (Lord, please no 😂). For me, this is definitely taboo horror, where the darkest parts of humanity are dragged into the light.
The story is told through two POVs.
Cry Baby was abducted and trafficked from the age of nine. His story begins when he’s twenty and follows him until he’s twenty-five. Let’s just say… there is quite the evolution. 🙈
Hollis is a SWAT officer with far too many secrets and a mutual fixation on Cry Baby. Is it hate? Is it lust? Obsession? I don’t think even they know.
This book ends with an absolute bang 😱😱.
I have a feeling the next book is going to reveal something even darker and more depraved.
Will I be reading it?
Absolutely. 🙌
Read this if you can handle:
✨ Bloodshed
✨ Creative uses of bodily fluids (yes ALL of them 🙈)! He literally paints bodies with them including his own. I wish I were joking 😂
✨ A little gutting. 🤷♀️ (What’s a horror book without it? 😂)
✨ The blurred line between a victim becoming a predator.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Initially when I started reading I just had an overwhelming feeling of confusion. But I kept reading and eventually figured out what was going on. Cry Baby was a likeable character despite being utterly unhinged and I think that’s what kept me reading. Yes it was dark, gory, chaotic and disturbing at times but it didn’t feel like an erotic horror. Yes there were a couple of spicy scenes, including MF, but otherwise that was all.
This book really felt like the prologue to the next book. Our main MMCs didn’t even meet much until towards the end of the book. Plus there’s the cliffhanger which I didn’t know about, but it’s fine. I will definitely read book 2 because I want to know where Cry Baby and Hollis go from here.
There is a good plot in this book and I think it will definitely expand in the second book and go much deeper. I want to learn more about Cry Baby but also about Hollis, despite him being a seriously unlikeable character.
⚠️Warning: the book itself had no triggers printed in it so be warned. I also couldn’t find them on the website. This is a dark and potentially triggering story so be careful with your mental health. ⚠️

WTF Did I Just Read?!
Besties... WHAT in the unholy, depraved chaos did I just read?! 😳 Cry Baby had me fascinated, horrified, grossed out, and still flipping pages because apparently I make questionable life choices.
Cry Baby is one seriously damaged and unpredictable character, and being inside his head was an experience all by itself. The counting, his twisted version of “art,” and the complicated hold Natalie has over him made his POV disturbing but weirdly fascinating. Then Hollis enters the equation, and their increasingly obsessive, hostile dynamic had me screaming, because WE know something about their connection that they don't... and that little detail makes everything so much worse.
But Melodie?! Besties. That entire situation went from heartbreaking to absolutely UNHINGED. And that final chapter? Nope. My jaw was somewhere on the floor while my stomach was filing a formal complaint.
This is graphic, explicitly spicy, violent, filthy, psychologically disturbing erotic horror with basically zero interest in behaving itself. Check those trigger warnings because Pryntz goes THERE.
And that ending?! WTF!!! Love me some SK Pryntz!

Cry Baby 😮💨
It’s always a blessing to get to ARC for SK & I was so so excited for this one! The cover alone & the art work surrounding it already had me obsessed 😍
“Paint me with your tears, Picasso”
Cry baby has lived his life in chains, taken at the age of 9 & abused in every which way!
Now it’s time for him to become the abuser, his mistress thinks she has him well trained to bring in the new “packages”, break them then sell them!
But he has his sight set on Hollis, the “pig”, the big bully sergeant that’s always looked down on him.
Hollis thinks he’s the hunter…he doesn’t realise he is in fact being hunted and led straight to his cage 😮💨
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 YAAAAS to this!! Oh I devoured it within hours!! I need part 2, ‘Cry Bully’ NOW 😭 I’m so excited for what’s to come, we obviously know the connection between those 2 but they don’t & I can’t wait to see what happens when they realise 👏🏼
Released TODAY! Go & grab it now! My copy is being ordered ASAP 👏🏼🤎

Yeah I'm ot sure how this can be classed as MM. There's more MF/MMF than MM.
I'm only mad about that because it was billed as MM and it definitely isn't. Having said that, that is not why i rated it only 2 stars.
It was all over the place, it felt like I was missing huge pieces of the story and I had to keep rereading bits to understand what was actually happening.
Having loved Beneath his robes I was really disappointed with this book.
It only started to get interesting in the last 5% of the book, I'm in two minds whether I'll continue the story or not.
I also did not find it dark in the slightest, was in fact very tame, and not what I'd class as erotic horror.

This was INSANE! As per usual for this author. And I’m left jaw on the floor…chomping at the bit for more.
That ending…excuse me?!?! 😱
Check your triggers because this one has them. I loved both characters. Actually scratch that… I LOVED EVERY ONE!
The side characters were top tier too!
But the twists of this book…whoa. I always expect the unexpected with this author but those twists had me floored.
4.5-5 stars

I haven't read a book by SK that I haven't loved, and this little f'd up story is no different. She is always bringing you the stories that suck you in and make you question your sanity. Cry Baby was one depraved read that will have you flipping those pages like your life depends on it. I can't wait to see what book 2 is bringing.

Cry Baby was raised on a leash.
Not metaphorically or poetically…
An actual fucking collar around his throat, bolted to the concrete beside Mistress’s bed.
He learned early on that obedience tasted better than starvation and blood could be washed away, where broken bones couldn’t be.
At night, Cry Baby was freed from my chains…
sent as her prized dog to hunt for her next bitch.
His job was
Find them, break them, sell them.
Until him…
He thought he was hunting a monster.
He didn’t realize he was leading him straight into his cage.

Cry Baby is a Taboo MM Erotic Horror by SK Prytz.
Cry Baby comes about as though it were a bruise under the skin, the most recent addition to SK Prytz's series of stories that never back down. In this one, comfort is a memory that has been left to decay in the corners while a wild and unblinking thing moves about in the shadows. It is not a romantic tale with a touch of danger; it is a place whose air has the taste of iron and where each page exerts pressure, challenging you to continue breathing.
From the very first page, the walls seem to squeeze in. Cry Baby's world is a single, windowless room, the air filled with the smell of sweat and old perfume. He is on his knees at the feet of his Mistress, his wrists raw and his eyes flashing with a hope that is not quite there. The difference between captor and captive disappears, every action becoming a form of negotiation and every silence causing a wound. You end up pressed against the inside of his skull, looking through his lashes, not knowing where your own boundaries finish. The ground beneath you changes and all of a sudden, you are involved, breathing the same suffocating air.
The horror in this situation is a gradual infiltration, a stain that spreads
underneath the wallpaper. Each contact is a kind of test, and every whispered order a splinter beneath the skin. Pryntz allows the discomfort to grow during the quiet times—such as a hand staying on the flesh for an excessive duration or a mouth being pressed to the body not out of love but out of necessity. The eroticism functions like a knife, shining brightly but never providing any comfort.
At times the body betrays itself, falling apart in a manner that seems both intimate and horrible, although the violence is mostly silent and creeps along the nerves. Relief is merely a rumour, and the reader is left floating, uncertain about whether to pull back or to move closer.
She moves about the rooms with the same care as a spider, speaking in a voice like silk-wrapped steel. Melodie stays at the edges, her intentions complex and constantly changing, remaining a shadow that never settles. Hollis, on the other hand, picks at the scabs of lives that have vanished, tracking the threads back to the door of Cry Baby. The narrative progresses steadily, each revelation causing a bruise and every secret another turn of the screw. Peace is a locked door, and the key has long since rusted.
If you look for a love story with neat and polished boundaries and ending on a reassuring note, you'll leave disappointed. There is no rescue and no soft transition to nothingness. The last pages lead into a darker passage, a long one, without any light and continuing without end. Frustration remains, yet so too does the desire to keep looking into the darkness, to see what else might be found there.
You don't finish Cry Baby and then put it down; it stays with you, a flavour which you can't quite get rid of. If anyone is willing to go into the darkness and let the story's cold hands close around their wrists, Pryntz provides no consolation—only the promise of nights without sleep and questions that continue to ring in your ears long after the final page. This is a descent, not a deliverance.
Move carefully, for this story seeps into your skin and takes hold deeply, in a way that can never be removed; the questions it sets in motion will grow in the darkness long after you've put the book down.

Review of advance copy received from Author
🖤😵💫 Cry Baby is one of the most disturbing books I've picked up in a long time, and I genuinely don't know how to explain it other than saying it completely crawled under my skin. This isn't a romance with horror sprinkled in—it's unapologetically erotic horror, with the psychological terror taking center stage. Every chapter left me feeling more unsettled than the last, and by the time I reached the ending, all I could think was, "What on earth did I just read... and where's the sequel?" 😳
SK Pryntz creates a story that feels suffocating from the very beginning. Cry Baby has spent most of his life under the control of the mysterious Mistress, trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, dependence, punishment, and emotional conditioning. Even though he dreams of freedom, he's been shaped to believe there's no life beyond her, making his internal conflict just as horrifying as everything happening around him. 🩸⛓️
What fascinated me most was Cry Baby himself. He's not a typical protagonist, and that's exactly what makes him unforgettable. He's damaged, deeply conflicted, obsessive, and emotionally fractured in ways that constantly blur the line between victim and participant. Watching him struggle with his own identity while trying to navigate the twisted world around him made it impossible to stop reading. 🫣
The psychological aspects of this book are incredibly well done. Themes like captivity, trauma, obsession, compulsive behaviors, and distorted perceptions are woven into every scene, creating an atmosphere where nothing ever feels safe or stable. Just when I thought I understood where the story was going, Pryntz pulled the rug out from under me again. 😶🌫️
The supporting characters only make everything stranger. Mistress is terrifying in the quietest, most calculated way, while Melodie adds another layer of manipulation that somehow makes Cry Baby's world even darker. Then there's Hollis, whose investigation into the disappearance of multiple men slowly collides with Cry Baby's life, adding a gripping mystery element that kept me desperate for answers. 🕵️♂️🖤
One thing I appreciated was that the horror never relies solely on gore. Instead, it's psychological, uncomfortable, and deeply unsettling. The erotic scenes aren't there to create romance—they amplify the discomfort, reinforce the imbalance of power, and make the atmosphere even more disturbing. There were several moments that genuinely made me cringe, and yes... some of the body horror and bodily fluid descriptions almost had me putting the book down. Almost. 🤢
Despite being a relatively quick read, the pacing never slows. Every chapter introduces another unsettling revelation, another uncomfortable interaction, or another mystery that makes it impossible to stop. It's chaotic, bleak, and completely committed to its dark vision from beginning to end. 📖⚠️
And then... that ending.😭 It doesn't feel like a conclusion at all—it feels like the story has only just begun. Instead of wrapping everything up, it leaves behind even more questions, bigger mysteries, and enough intrigue that I'm already desperate to know what Cry Baby does next.
If you're looking for a safe romance, this absolutely isn't it. But if you enjoy psychological horror, morally gray characters, disturbing mysteries, unreliable emotions, and stories that leave you feeling deeply unsettled long after you've finished, Cry Baby deserves a place on your TBR. Just make sure you read the trigger warnings first... this book doesn't hold back for a single page. 🖤💀📚
SK Pryntz creates a story that feels suffocating from the very beginning. Cry Baby has spent most of his life under the control of the mysterious Mistress, trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, dependence, punishment, and emotional conditioning. Even though he dreams of freedom, he's been shaped to believe there's no life beyond her, making his internal conflict just as horrifying as everything happening around him. 🩸⛓️
What fascinated me most was Cry Baby himself. He's not a typical protagonist, and that's exactly what makes him unforgettable. He's damaged, deeply conflicted, obsessive, and emotionally fractured in ways that constantly blur the line between victim and participant. Watching him struggle with his own identity while trying to navigate the twisted world around him made it impossible to stop reading. 🫣
The psychological aspects of this book are incredibly well done. Themes like captivity, trauma, obsession, compulsive behaviors, and distorted perceptions are woven into every scene, creating an atmosphere where nothing ever feels safe or stable. Just when I thought I understood where the story was going, Pryntz pulled the rug out from under me again. 😶🌫️
The supporting characters only make everything stranger. Mistress is terrifying in the quietest, most calculated way, while Melodie adds another layer of manipulation that somehow makes Cry Baby's world even darker. Then there's Hollis, whose investigation into the disappearance of multiple men slowly collides with Cry Baby's life, adding a gripping mystery element that kept me desperate for answers. 🕵️♂️🖤
One thing I appreciated was that the horror never relies solely on gore. Instead, it's psychological, uncomfortable, and deeply unsettling. The erotic scenes aren't there to create romance—they amplify the discomfort, reinforce the imbalance of power, and make the atmosphere even more disturbing. There were several moments that genuinely made me cringe, and yes... some of the body horror and bodily fluid descriptions almost had me putting the book down. Almost. 🤢
Despite being a relatively quick read, the pacing never slows. Every chapter introduces another unsettling revelation, another uncomfortable interaction, or another mystery that makes it impossible to stop. It's chaotic, bleak, and completely committed to its dark vision from beginning to end. 📖⚠️
And then... that ending.😭 It doesn't feel like a conclusion at all—it feels like the story has only just begun. Instead of wrapping everything up, it leaves behind even more questions, bigger mysteries, and enough intrigue that I'm already desperate to know what Cry Baby does next.
If you're looking for a safe romance, this absolutely isn't it. But if you enjoy psychological horror, morally gray characters, disturbing mysteries, unreliable emotions, and stories that leave you feeling deeply unsettled long after you've finished, Cry Baby deserves a place on your TBR.

A unique take on the horror romance… light on the romance and more on the whorror. Cry Baby is a main character that will stay with you. With themes of captivity, obsessive compulsive disorder, and morbid disorientation, Pryntz delivers one hell of a story that leaves you needing more answers. If you’re looking for something dark and absolutely bleak, Cry Baby is a must to the front of your TBR list.
*spoilers*
Cry Baby is being held in chains by his captor known only as Mistress, who took him under his wing as her pet from a young age. Even though he wants to be free from the chains, he knows there’s really nobody else that could ever take her place. Even through the punishments and hardships, he doesn’t see himself ever leaving the Mistress.
They attend an event together, where, for the first time, he is told to wear a suit in order to fit in with the other wealthy people they will be networking with. But during the event a peculiar couple, a cop and his captive, come walking in, causing tension in the air. Luckily, he makes a little friend who gets him to agree with going somewhere else after being denied access to alcohol.
Little does his friend know that he’d wake up in a literal nightmare. But then his Mistress does something unexpected and brings forth another female to help train him better for getting information from others and she’s the best person for the job. After days of forced captivity, he begins his training. They go out to a bar so that she can see his level of flirting. Which is very low on the scale but Melodie is easy to make up for his nervous mistakes.
Then, we get a time skip five years ahead and Cry Baby has built up his confidence. Enough to make a name for himself that’s higher than his own Mistress. And during his time at the bar, he decides to mark his target. A target that may be part of the cop’s world. So, what does Hollis do? He follows Cry Baby and the guy across a street to a house behind a gate. He continues further to investigate what the once shy guy wants with his coworker but he soon gets caught.
See, Hollis isn’t some weird stalker following the blonde guy from the bar. He’s on a mission to figure out the disappearance of 23 men. 23 men that include his fraternal twin brother. And this guy has caught his suspicions. And don’t even get me started on the ending because it didn’t feel like one. In fact, I look forward to what Cry Baby is going to do next. Especially after he left a body lying around where the cops were able to find. But I won’t give too much away for the ending because you have to experience it yourself.
🖤𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓵𝓵🖤
Disgusting. Repulsive. And a book you won’t be able to put down. Cry Baby is a vicious book that deals with trauma, Stockholm syndrome in a way, and the need to paint. Pryntz did not hold back a single word with this release and I look forward to where this dark little universe is going to head next.

This is a DARK Taboo Erotic Horror - READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS!!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but my god did I love it. The characters are so messed up, the storyline is just all kinds of what the actual fuck and everything about it was great.
The story centres on a young man, known only as Cry Baby. Taken as a child and used and abused by a vile Mistress and her 'clients', Cry Baby is now 20 and quite fed up of the life he has been subjected to. He hates Mistress Natalie but he believes he cannot survive without her. Until Melodie comes along, an autistic goth who has mastered the art of seduction and is brought in to teach Cry Baby how to hunt for the prey Natalie needs to keep her clients happy.
First of all Cry Baby is the perfect messed up MMC, he's been Natalie's captive for years, he's been used and abused both mentally and physically and you cannot help but be on his side and want to rescue him from this horrendous life, but I also understand why although he hates her and the situation he's in, he cannot bring himself to leave. The horrors have become his safe space and his artistic outlet is therapeutic to him. His coping mechanisms of counting when things are stressful or loud suggest he is definitely on the spectrum and despite the literal shit show of a life he has, he can seek comfort from it.
This book had me all in the feels because you cant help but care about this guy. The way everyone seems to treat him, Mistress Natalie even calls him her dog, her pet and keeps him chained up by a collar to make him obedient. His story is horrific and disgusting and so heart-breaking.
Then there is Hollis, the closeted SWAT cop who just loves to bully anyone smaller than him, he clearly has his own demons and is lashing out but I wont spoil it for you. He's a massive asshole for the most part and I wanted to smack him as soon as look at him. However, there is clearly more to this man and his story and I want to know everything!
Now as I mentioned earlier, this is a taboo MM erotic horror, but the taboo is sneaky and when you realise what is going on, ooft, it makes some of the scenes that little bit more vile.
The graphic gore and spice in this book is perfection. The spice is brutal and cruel and brings the harsh reality of the story to life. It also changes our MMC, it starts as something used against him, to degrade him and control him but as the story progresses he becomes the one in control
Now there are quite a few questions left unanswered and I am praying that SK does a second book (I'm like 99% sure she will) but if you love dark erotic horror filled with blood, filth and some interesting painting, I suggest you grab a copy.

**The scenes lacked. They started suddenly and ended abruptly. It's suppose to still be erotic but it lacked. Almost like the scenes were added just because. They were just not erotic enough for me.
I couldn't find the Trigger Warnings on the author's website so read at your own discretion. Here are a few:
Torture Smut
Graphic Violence
Gore
Blood as Paint
Body Fluids as Paint
Sex Trafficking
Child Kidnapping
Child Grooming
Mention of Child Rape (Not Descriptive)
And more...
Thank you for letting me ARC read this book. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me.
It's so hard reviewing ARC's when I was very excited to read them. Unfortunately, I can't like every book I read and this one is not for me. I have read very well written, extremely dark erotic horror books and I can't help but compare.
This book wasn't as dark and disturbing as I thought it would be. Yes, it's gross and there is gore. But it didn't do it for me and that's ok. My issue is, I felt there is no plot or storyline. It doesn't make sense to me. I was confused. There was barely any interaction between who were suppose to be the two main characters until the very end. The purpose on things wasn't clear until the end. And that's the only reason it appears on why there will be another book. The story is unfinished. This basically ends in a cliffhanger. I'm sure it was intended to have surprise elements and leave you guessing but when you can't figure out the purpose, it gets boring and uninteresting. It just wasn't what I was expecting from the book overview. I at least needed some kind of story or plot to be interested to continue reading more. I wanted more. But I needed a plot even more. I'm sure the next book will be better since it looks like the two main characters will finally have more interaction. But again, what isn't for me doesn't mean it won't be for someone else.
This is the first book I've read from the author. I'm not discouraged. I definitely want to give this author another try. I still want to read Mara from the Wellard Asylum Series.

Review of advance copy received from Author
4.5 Stars
Cry Baby, written by S.K. Pryntz, is a taboo MM erotic horror. It is twisted, disturbing, emotional, and completely unapologetic about what it is. From the opening pages, S.K. Pryntz drops the reader into Holden’s horrifying reality and creates an atmosphere that feels claustrophobic, dangerous, and deeply unsettling. This is not simply a dark romance with a few shocking moments. It is erotic horror that fully embraces its ugliness, trauma, and taboo subject matter.
Holden is the kind of character who is difficult to forget. He has been shaped by unimaginable cruelty, and the story does not attempt to make his actions easy to excuse. However, it gives us enough access to his damaged mind and complicated emotions to make him painfully fascinating. The connection at the center of the story is intense, unconventional, and filled with a constant struggle between fear, control, obsession, and something kind of like tenderness.
For such a short book, it delivers an impressive amount of story. The pacing is fast, the tension is high, and the twists kept changing what I thought I understood about the characters. I would have happily read a longer version with more time devoted to the characters’ histories and psychological development, but the novella format also gives the story a sharp, relentless quality that works well for this type of subject matter.
This book will absolutely not be for everyone, and checking the trigger warnings is essential. For readers who enjoy pitch-black MM romance, erotic horror, severely damaged characters, shocking revelations, and stories willing to cross nearly every comfortable boundary, Cry Baby is a gripping and memorable read.
Thanks to S.K. Pryntz for gifting me an eARC of Cry Baby. I am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

July 31, 2026I honestly wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into this one, and I think that's part of why I enjoyed it. You're basically thrown straight into the chaos from page one, and for a while I was just sitting there like, "Okay... what exactly is happening here?" The beginning was definitely a little confusing, and it took me some time to find my footing in the story, but once I settled into Cry Baby's world, I found myself becoming more and more invested.
What kept me reading was Cry Baby himself. The more I learned about him, the more questions I had. We get bits and pieces of his past, but I really wanted to know more about his abduction, what happened to him before the story started, and how he became the person he is now. It feels like there's still so much left to uncover, and I'm hoping we get more of that in the next book.
I also went into this expecting a MM erotic horror, but for me it felt more like the setup for that story rather than the full thing. That actually made me even more curious about where things are headed next, especially when it comes to Cry Baby and Hollis.
As for the horror side of things... yeah, it's dark. Weird, disturbing, chaotic, and at times completely unhinged. There were multiple moments where I just sat there thinking, "What the hell am I reading?" But somehow that's exactly what kept me turning the pages.
* Overall, this was a weird, dark, chaotic read that definitely won't be for everyone, but it kept me intrigued and left me wanting more.

what did I just read and when will i be able to read more… I can’t wait until cry baby and Hollis figure it out….
OK YALL…
Crybaby by S.K. Prince absolutely wrecked me… Like WTF did I just read…? I went into this book ABSOLUTELY NOT AT ALL prepared for just how graphic, emotional, and immersive it would be…!
By the end of the book, I wasn’t just reading the scenes, I felt like I was standing in that basement with the characters. The descriptions were so vivid that I could literally feel and picture every horrifying detail. I could practically see the violence unfolding, hear the panic, and feel the fear. It takes a talented author to write scenes that are so intense they make you forget you’re reading, and S.K. Prince did exactly that. I could literally smell that basement and see what Cry Baby was using to create his art!!
The emotional weight of the story stayed with me long after I finished the last page. The characters felt real, the tension never let up, and I found myself thinking about the ending long after I closed the book. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy romance, this DEFINITELY IS NOT it. But if you love PITCH BLACK BOOK that isn’t afraid to go to disturbing places and completely pull you into the story, Crybaby is one you won’t forget.
BE SURE YOU 100% check the damn trigger warnings before diving in, because this book earns EVERY SINGLE one of them…

“You love what I do to you, don’t you, Cry Baby? You need me. I am your master.”
Cry Baby is the product of years of captivity and isolation, only used for other people's pleasure.
But when he gets older his master sees other use for him.
He is tasked with finding new 'merchandise' and that is where two worlds that aren't meant to collide crash in to eachother.
“Everyone always runs when they see the real me. Will you run, Little Piggie, when I show you who I am?”
Hollis is a cop that is fixated on finding numerous missing men and when Cry Baby gets to close to one of his coworkers he can't help but intervene not knowing it was Cry Baby's plan to get close to Hollis.
There is this unexplainable pull between them that messes everything up
"I was going to find Jailbait. And when I did… He’d finally stop smiling."
I went through every emotion possible while reading this. The story gripped me from the start and had my jaw on the floor numerous times.
The ending was something I've never read before, leaving me shocked and desperate to know how the story continues and there is some weird banter between the two MMC'S that had me chuckling several times.
“You looked at me like a damn chick. Stop checking me out.”
“I looked because I was wondering if your face always looks like a puckered asshole .”
I'm intrigued by the workings of Cry Baby's mind and recognized myself in him just a smidge when it comes to the counting and the urge to end with an even number.
"One rotation. Two. Three. No. Four. Better."
SK wrote another very disturbing story! Don't expect any romance between those pages or an HEA because we all know by now that she's allergic to happily ever afters.
I'm gonna say it, this might be her most messed up book yet and I'm totally here for it!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Cry Baby by S.K. Pryntz had a lot of potential, but it ultimately fell a little short for me. The premise immediately grabbed my attention, and there were several intriguing moments that kept me turning the pages. The darker themes and emotional tension were definitely there, but the story never really pulled me in, and I never felt fully invested in the characters or their relationships.
For the first half of the book, I found myself questioning what was even happening. I also didn't feel like the characters were introduced very well, and there wasn't enough background information for me to form a strong connection to them or understand their motivations. The pacing felt uneven, and I kept waiting for everything to come together. While the story became more engaging as it went on, I still wanted more depth in both the character development and the overall plot. There were scenes that stood out, but others felt repetitive and didn't have the emotional impact I was hoping for.
I've really enjoyed S.K. Pryntz's previous books, so I went into this one with high expectations. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.
Overall, Cry Baby wasn't a bad read—it just didn't leave a lasting impression on me. If you enjoy dark romance with plenty of emotional angst, it's still worth giving a try, as it may resonate more with you than it did with me.
For the first half of the book, I found myself questioning what was even happening. I also didn't feel like the characters were introduced very well, and there wasn't enough background information for me to form a strong connection to them or understand their motivations.

This isn't a romance with horror tossed in. This is the very definition of erotic horror. It’s always a pleasure to read SK books. If you're looking for a safe, smutty dark romance, this absolutely isn't it and you shouldn’t read. However, if you love a taboo MM erotic horror that’s twisted, disturbing, emotional, and completely unhinged…then you’ll love this. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.
Cry Baby was abducted and trafficked from the age of nine. His story begins when he's twenty and follows him until he's twenty-five. Now it's time for him to become the abuser, but he has his sight set on Hollis, the sergeant that's always looked down on him.
Hollis is a SWAT officer with a mutual fixation on Cry Baby. He thinks he's the hunter but he in fact is being hunted. They are under each other’s skin and what Hollis doesn't realize is that Cry Baby is just biding his time.
The pacing is fast, the tension is high, and the twists kept changing. Despite being a quick read (bc I couldn’t put it down), every chapter introduces another revelation, another interaction, or another mystery. The ending!!! I'm definitely curious to see where the story goes next and need it like yesterday. 5/5
Check your triggers on her website before reading because your mental health matters. This does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared.

This is advertised as MM. There was one MM scene, not with the main character. There was a MMF scene and a MF scene.
This is advertised as Erotica but the scenes weren’t even spicy. There was some horror, so they got that right.
I don’t understand where all the 5⭐️ ratings are coming from. This was so hard to read. I was confused for a majority of the book. There was no world building. No character development.
I have no triggers, so the gore isn’t the issue. The premise isn’t the issue. It could be good, if it was written properly.
Cry baby is the MMC. At the beginning of the book he is chained up in a basement. He has been with his Mistress since he was 8. He is now 20. He loves and hates her. She decides he is going to be her new procurer of products, other men. Which to me is weird, why men and not boys? Anyway, he is allowed to go to a bar to learn to flirt and lure men.
There he encounters, Hollis, a cop. They hate each other but are attracted to one another too? IDK it’s all jumbled and confusing. At the end of the book, Cry baby forces Hollis to give him a BJ. Then we learn from Hollis’s POV that Cry baby is most likely his twin brother that was kidnapped when they were 8.
And it ends in a cliff hanger. Nobody mentioned it is a duo or ongoing series. I definitely wouldn’t have continued the book past the first couple of chapters if I knew.

Book Review 🖤⛓️
Dark, disturbing, and unapologetically twisted, this sounds like a psychological dark romance that takes readers straight into the depths of trauma, survival, and the darkest corners of human cruelty.
From the opening lines, we're introduced to a character whose entire existence has been shaped by abuse, captivity, and brutal conditioning. The collar isn't just a symbol of ownership; it's a reminder of a childhood stolen and a life where obedience was the only way to survive.
The premise is incredibly unsettling, especially the idea of someone forced to become the very monster others fear. There's a fascinating psychological element to a character who has been both victim and perpetrator, blurring the lines between innocence, guilt, and survival.
And then comes the hunter who believes he's chasing a monster, only to discover that the truth is far more complicated than he imagined. That twist alone creates an intriguing setup filled with danger, deception, and unpredictable tension.
This sounds like an exceptionally dark read, one that explores the devastating consequences of abuse, manipulation, and a desperate fight for control.
Sometimes the monster isn't born evil. Sometimes someone else builds the cage, puts on the collar, and teaches them how to bite. 🖤

WHAT. THE. HECK?! I swear I find myself saying that after every book I read by S.K. Pryntz. She always leaves me completely speechless and wondering what I just read, in the best and most unsettling way. This book is absolutely notfor the faint of heart. It's graphic, deeply disturbing, and shines a light on the darkest depths of human cruelty. Be sure to check the content warnings before diving in. Despite how difficult it was to read at times, I couldn't put it down.
Cry Baby was kidnapped at just nine years old and has spent his life literally living in chains. The abuse he endures is horrific, both physically and psychologically, making his story incredibly difficult to witness. Just when his Mistress believes she has finally broken him and molded him into exactly what she wants, we find out he has other plans
This is an incredibly fast paced, intense, and emotionally heavy read that doesn't shy away from the darkest subject matter. Every chapter left me desperate to know what would happen next. If you enjoy extremely dark fiction that pushes boundaries and explores the darkest corners of humanity, this is one to add to your list, but don't go into it expecting a light romance or a neatly wrapped up ending. That cliffhanger had me immediately wanting the next part.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Buckle up for a wild ride!!!
So, this Book was devoured in about two and a half hours. At first, I was confused as to what was actually happening, but the more I read, the deeper I was sucked in.
Not only was this book dark as all get out, the story had me absolutely enthralled. It was pretty messed up, but is you are anything like me, you won't be able to put it down.
Major props to SK for truly showing readers the dark and twisted side of people. I could not out this down until I reached the end. Being shown the world they've the eyes of Cry Baby was quite the experience, simply because he did a lot of contradiction of his thoughts in the beginning, as well as throughout the book. However, we learned pretty early in that he would be in a world that literally no one has experienced other than him. He sees everything so differently than ANYONE ELSE. There is no sugar coating in this book, it is dark and could trigger readers, so please make sure to check the warnings before diving into this one.
I read this book as an arc, and gained nothing monetarily for providing this review.

Holden aka Cry baby is trapped chained by this woman, this woman he desires as much as he wants to see her bathe in his own blood
He is exposed as a vulgar slave
Make a good impression, don't let yourself go to his hobbit like tearing off the skin that he considers as his own work
At an evening he will find the perfect prey the only time he is free of his movements. He is there to find the one he will handle in his own way, the one who will spin straight so that the mistress is satisfied. She created a monster her goal? Find the next time and it will be perfect. Do you think you've seen everything about a monster? Didn't you see him? You don't know the extent of his darkness
But what he did not foresee but is that his new prey will not let himself be done HOLLIS is a policeman with a mind of steel, he knows that he will have to dive with him, dive into his darkness but he will not go alone .. even if it means losing himself
By entering this book we enter this macabre and suffocating side. Sk is not afraid to go off the beaten track, she knows exactly where to take us, how far the human being is ready to go. An incredible originality

Cry Baby completely got under my skin in the best and worst ways. It follows Cry Baby and Hollis through dual POVs, and from the very beginning there's this intense, unsettling cat-and-mouse dynamic that kept me glued to the pages. Cry Baby is one of the most complex characters I've read in a long time, shaped by years of horrific trauma and constantly battling the person he's become, while Hollis is just as intriguing with his own secrets and obsession simmering beneath the surface. The psychological tension is relentless, the twists genuinely shocked me, and every time I thought I knew where the story was heading, it completely blindsided me. The side characters were just as memorable, the atmosphere was dark, suffocating, and impossible to escape, and that ending... I honestly just stared at the page. SK Pryntz has done it again, and I already know I'll be first in line for the next book because I need answers.
" The air between us felt heavier than it had any right to, and I felt the thickness in my throat gather. It was like the argument had stopped being about the guy from the bar ten minutes ago, and was now something else entirely. Us."

Crybaby is absolute, glorious chaos, and I loved every unhinged second of it. From the very beginning, the story embraces the madness instead of trying to tame it, and somehow it works perfectly. Every new reveal made me question where things were going next, but in the best way. The characters are beautifully dysfunctional, the tension is relentless, and the entire book feels like it’s balancing on the edge of complete disaster. I was completely hooked from start to finish.
SK Pryntz has this incredible ability to make the most chaotic situations feel intentional, and Crybaby is a perfect example of that. Every time I thought I had the story figured out, it veered in a completely different direction and somehow just kept getting better. And then that ending… absolutely not. WTF. NO. You cannot leave me there and expect me to function like a normal person. I need the next book immediately because there is no way I’m accepting that cliffhanger. Another easy five star read from one of my favorite authors.

Cry Baby has spent most of his life raised on a leash and controlled by the mistress unable to escape her and if he makes a mistake she takes pleasure in punishing him!
When he meets Hollis it sets in motion a change of events that neither of them can escape, they’ve gotten under each others skin and what Hollis doesn’t realise danger is a lot closer and Cry Baby is just biding his time.
This was an unhinged crazy unsettling, disturbing quick read that I couldn’t put down, which left me questioning my sanity after reading it. Sk Pryntz has a way of drawing you into a story, that consumes your life because you literally are unable to put the book down! and this book is not for the faint of heart!
Tropes:
⚫️S3x trafficked
⚫️”Paint is Sound”
⚫️Twists that have you clinching
⚫️Sneaky Taboo
⚫️Swat cop and captive
⚫️Open gay yay!
⚫️Torture smut.
⚫️Verse, perverse and cruel oh my.
⚫️Don’t bully me or l’ll 💦
⚫️Surprisingly big plot
⚫️Right in the feels
