Sinner by Shantel tessier (218)

The Sinner is a standalone dark romance novel filled with obsession, power, and moral complexity. It centers on Easton Bradley “Sinnett” (Sin), the heir of a powerful and secretive society, and the heroine, Ellington Asher, who finds herself enmeshed in his dangerous world after tragedy strikes her family. Sin is alluring yet twisted—using his might for his own pleasure—while Ellie is torn between desire and self-preservation. Their chemistry is destructive, compelling, and emotionally charged, pushing the boundaries of dark romance.

Critics describe Sin as morally “dark gray, bordering on black,” and the relationship dynamic as toxic yet mesmerizing, featuring obsession, control, and emotional upheaval.

Reader reactions vary widely—some find the story gripping and emotionally intense, while others are put off by repetitive erotic scenes or character detachment. On Reddit, one user observed:
