Sinner by Lana Pecherczyk

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
