No soy yo muy de novelas cortas porque me parece que va todo demasiado rápido, pero esta me ha dado un montón de hype por saber la que se viene en los siguientes libros!

I was intrigued by SINNER from the first pages and while we only get a taste of the overall concept it has me ready to jump into the next book.
I enjoyed Flynn right away; he's loyal, honorable, and willing to sacrifice if it means doing the right thing. Flynn's interested in Mary from the moment they meet but since he thinks Mary is a nun he's entertainingly conflicted over his attraction. Flynn's support was exactly what Mary needed to realize that she deserves love in her life. Mary had a terrible childhood after her parents discovered her psychic abilities and while she's found a purpose with the Hildegrad Sisterhood's secret assassin training she's let that work consume all parts of her life. I particularly loved that our heroine Mary is the badass assassin with some serious skills while Flynn is more the "side kick" along for the ride.
The idea of these children embodying each of the deadly sins and being created to be super soldiers was a really cool idea. SINNER should definitely be read with a mind toward comic books or superheroes because it has that type of feel.
Content Warning: Mary was abused as a child; references to infertility

I kicked off my journey with this author with the "Sinner and the... " series. I was instantly obsessed! On a side note, I am so freaking excited for June to read the new one!!! I have also read a few books in the Fae Guardians series.
Anyway, I thought I would try this series out as they were mentioned in the Sinners books. I started with this introductory novella just to test the waters just in case I wouldn't be drawn in. Holy heck, I am glad I picked it up.
To me, her writing style is so... I don't know how to explain it... Warm and comfortable. It leaves me with the feels, regardless of the content. This story was obviously released to set the scene and (besides the excellent writing) it is a unique premise. I am so excited to start with the first book, Envy.
Holding thumbs that the series lives up to my expectations.
Spice level 🌶 1/5
