Sweet the Sin was amazing! I'm going to be honest, and say I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did, maybe three stars-ish was the expectation, but I found myself captivated from the beginning, with the intriguing plot and characters.
The plot had me absolutely captivated... and I was intrigued from the first word, "Kelly"...
Nope. That did not have the dramatic effect I had hoped.
The characters in this story very real. They were conflicted, confused, angry and completely flawed. At times, I have to admit, they were not even that likable. That being said, this book had an impact on me, nonetheless.
I'm unsure I can really even tell you why this book was so impactful with me, why all these characters resonated with me, and why it took me two freaking weeks to write this review.
Claire Kent did a beautiful job writing this book, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel!
XOXO,
Kat
