Sinner (Priest Book 2)

Product Information

So how does someone get rid of their demons?” Casziel glanced down at me, his gaze suddenly intense. His tone commanding. “Stop listening to them, Lucy. Starve them with inattention.” Emma have created a tantalizing world of demons and angels and an eternal love that transcends centuries and lifetime, a love so consuming and powerful and just plain raw. The effect this book has on me is ineffable. I was totally captivated and ensnared with this ethereal tale of love, grief, second chances, redemption and forgiveness! Un libro con una trama accattivante ma che ha lasciato a desiderare. Complice probabilmente anche capitoli lunghissimi in cui sto tizio, quello che indaga, non muove il fondoschiena fino verso l'8 o 9 o 10 capitolo. Anche questo non lo ricordo.

However, this feeling of disjointedness could just as easily be a result of the plot itself – Cora is so clearly disturbed and in her ramblings, she is revealing some truth and a lot of lies. Police Commissioner Grovian [and the reader] have to try and separate the fact from the fiction; so, it may well have been this that caused the disjointedness as you’re not privy to the entire truth until the end of the novel. Cora is constantly changing her story, so things are not making a lot of sense throughout the read, although you are able to grasp the consistent theme in her ramblings that link to the truth. Yes. Grateful that I had the privilege of knowing him. That this pain I’m feeling is strong because I loved him. I wouldn’t trade it if it meant not having him.

Lucy’s empathetic and curious nature had her taking a leap of faith. Would helping a demon be a blessing or her demise? The connection and longing between Lucy and Cas was tangible. I was immediately drawn to them and felt it all. They were perfect together. It’s impossible to set aside the prism of knowing what you know, which makes a simple line like “I thought I was ready, I’m not ready” into a heart piercing. A line like “Let go, baby” into a searing brand. And “It wasn’t your fault…I saw everything and you couldn’t have saved me” into the forgiveness you’ve waited a lifetime for. The Sinner is a 2003 mystery novel by Tess Gerritsen, [1] [2] the third book of the Maura Isles/ Jane Rizzoli series.

Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky, a Crime and Its The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky, a Crime and Its

Lucy Dennings is a lonely, introverted girl living life in her small New York City apartment, finding solace in her romance books. Casziel is a self loathing demon who approaches Lucy under the guise of needing her help, telling her “in your kindness lies my salvation”. But this is not the truth and Lucy knows he is hiding something for she can feel a deep connection to Cas. She also knows her dreams and visions are spinning a different story that Cas is adamant to deny. Reading this book made me hurt. It touched on so many fears I have lodged inside my heart. To lose my loved ones. The fear of the unknown. But it also touched on my hopes. That no one ever really leaves. That maybe the unknown is just a new chance. Another life. More life. More love. Lucy Denning lives an ordinary, safe life. Her world revolves around work, home and her romance books. She goes through life one day at a time, until she stumbles upon something otherworldly.... I don’t know what the pandemic did to the reading part of my brain, but for the past year and a half, I’ve only listened to audiobooks, and the majority were non-fiction. Any fiction listens were works I’d read before. Old faves. So I literally haven’t sat down and read a novel with my eyes in a long, long time. If you were to come home and found an unconscious demon lying on your front drive, what would you do?Cora goes on about a billion tangents and you have no idea what is the truth, what is a lie, and what she is just making up because she doesn't actually remember the truth. Having watched the Netflix series, I was interested to see how much the adaptation deviated from the book. The answer? Not much. There, there! Demon Cas is born. Admittedly, he should’ve gone to ✦afterlife therapy✦ instead of acting out his repressed feelings on humans and accepting position as Ashtaroth’s minion. Still, WHERE WAS THE SIN THAT LED TO HIS MONIKER, THE SINNER??? He’s fulfilling his duty as a demon, but he’s the least demonic of all. He’s pretty much just a lonely, bitter demon with a soft heart. I'm honestly not surprised at this point, because ES is just one of my all-time favorite authors- her writing style just works so well for me. I truly felt all the emotions when reading the book, and ended up falling absolutely in love with these characters. Why the almost 5-star review you might ask? Because I found Cora’s character fascinating and the book certainly delivers, in that her personality is even more complex than in the adaptation, because even though I knew what had happened it still managed to grip me, and because I found Cora’s relationship with the detective - given the differences - refreshing.

Cas is a demon who claims he has no love left in him. Yet the whole concept of this book proves that he does. Christ, if you can believe, he’s never even touched another woman in the FOUR millenium he’s lived as a demon.it wasn’t very steamy and it was more of a “telling” story rather than a “feeling” story. It’s a little odd for me because I’m normally drowning in my feels when it comes to this author. Still, the soulmates spanning centuries aspect was very strong and clear and I was fully engaged and enjoying my time with Lucy and Cas. The following words/phrases were used to describe Hero: a jaded, sarcastic tint colored his every word, an otherworldly magnetism, tired I don't read that many paranormal romances, so for me it was a very unique story and I loved the setting of it. Loved the main characters and side characters and can't wait to read Ambri's story when it comes out. If y'all like the tropes mentioned above, The Sinner is definitely worth a try. 💫 I almost gave up before the story even started! LOL! We get this glossary right at the start with a million expressions and names and whatnot paranormal things. But it wasn't too bad - you didn't really have to memorize them all. 🤣

I struggle with books that have been translated because I don't know if they haven't translated well, or if I'm just not into the book. Finally, I know who I am. Why I’ve been feeling like I’ve been missing something.” I swallowed hard. “It was you. I’ve been missing you.” I caught him looking at me sometimes the way a condemned man looks at the world on his last day of freedom.Demon stories always make my skin crawl just a bit and the author wrote them in a way that gave me chills here and there. It’s a personal story. It’s felt and experienced clearly. A thank you is not nearly enough so hopefully my words here will make do. Told in dual POV, The Sinner is a delightful read full of passion and tender romance. The historical aspects really enhanced the read because both characters were authentic and destined to be together! As the forces of good and evil battle to the death, Cas and Lucy hold on to each other with everything they have. "ɪ ᴠᴏᴡᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʜᴏɴᴏʀ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴅᴀʏ, ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛ, ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴍʏ ʟɪꜰᴇ." Overall, The Sinner will appeal to paranormal romance fans who enjoy an epic love story with lyrical text and complex storytelling. This was my first Emma Scott read, and I look forward to reading more from this author! Ashtaroth welcomed me into a realm in which the rage and horror of my fate could be channeled. I stoked it in humans until it became something outside of me. I didn’t have to suffer it; I reveled in it. My grief was no longer weakness but power.”
