Sinner (Priest Book 2)

Product Information

If you were to come home and found an unconscious demon lying on your front drive, what would you do? What I love most is when there is unrequired love from the Hero's side and The Sinner had that. Casziel told Lucy that he is on this side, because he is in need of her help to redeem himself, but with each chapter more of their story is unfolding. Lucy and Cas' story is tragically beautiful. A love that shouldn't be, but is inevitable. I caught him looking at me sometimes the way a condemned man looks at the world on his last day of freedom.

Cora goes to the lakeside to enjoy the sun and water with her husband and young son. There she inexplicitly stabs a man to death. There are witnesses and Cora’s own confession but the police commissioner does his own investigation into Cora’s past, uncovering secrets even Cora has trouble remembering.If you don't want to have to slog through this, I'll spoil the beans on the crappy twist of the book: 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. It is the weekend and as my public service announcement, if you haven't watched the series, The Sinner then you have missed out. I just finished all three "seasons" and, boy oh boy, this was something very different.

Such a beautiful and poignant story because LOVE does transcends time and is an all and powerful emotion. I’m not even sure I can properly review this book except to say that I felt it deep in my bones. The paranormal aspect of the story worked because it was written from love and loss. It had a personal touch that the author experienced and from that loss she was able to create this truly emotional imaginative story. 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. 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.” Lucy’s initial reaction upon finding Cas’ body might be unrealistic, but it somewhat makes sense considering the kinds of books she’s consumed. Besides, this is an urban fantasy paranormal romance story to begin with—a bit of suspension of disbelief is warranted. Furthermore, I have to admit that her feelings on books, love stories, and reading in general were relatable to me.Cas is a demon. But he’s not one because he was inherently evil or had committed unforgivable sins in his past life. Rather, it’s because he was RECRUITED to become one. At least, that’s from my understanding of his past history. You see . . . I had a life, once. A long time ago. I was a commander of armies. Now, my armies do not wield swords; we incite battle among humans. We fuel the rage in men’s hearts. The wrath.”
