Review:
Lucy Dennings is an outsider amidst all the hustle and bustle of New York City. She works for a nonprofit, has a crush on a co-worker who doesn't know she's alive and goes home alone each night to her small apartment and romance books. Her life is driven by routine until the day she discovers a gorgeous man in the alley by her apartment . . . a man who appears dead. A man dressed all in black with . . . are those wings? And then the man or being moves, and Lucy's life is forever changed. The stranger's name is Cyrus and when he looks at her, deeply buried feelings and memories overtake her. Who is this man, and why is he so familiar to her? The story that unfolds is emotional, passionate and heartbreaking.
The Sinner is one of several books to take me by surprise lately. It's been awhile since I read a paranormal romance story, but I was intrigued enough to accept this one for review. I'm glad I did as I couldn't put it down until I finished it. The emotional turmoil and desire swirling through these characters is mesmerizing. I'm not going to go any deeper into the plot line because it's truly best to read this one without knowing more as I did. Scott has rendered a heart wrenching story of love and loss and delivered it through characters that are easy to pull for. The ominous tone of hopelessness permeates the pages and drives the fast pace throughout until the shocking climax. Fans of paranormal romance are going to devour this book. Highly recommended!
Synopsis:
Shy, introverted Lucy Dennings lives a quiet little life in New York City, working for a nonprofit and keeping to herself. Every afternoon, she goes home to her empty apartment and Edgar, her houseplant, and every night, she loses herself in the pages of her beloved romance novels. Her lonely heart seeks solace in tales of passionate, enduring, all-consuming love, but more and more, Lucy feels she's not just reading for pleasure but searching for a lost piece of herself in the pages. As if she once touched something beautiful but it's been ripped away.
Until one day Lucy discovers a dead body in the alley behind her apartment. Even if it's too late, her first instinct is to help.
Her second is to run.
Because the dead body isn't so very dead, and suddenly, her little world isn't so little but one in which dreams feel like memories, "inner demons" actually lurk in dark alleys, and a beautiful creature of darkness with amber eyes and wings like night might hold the key to what her heart has been aching for...if she doesn't fall down the path of eternal damnation first.
