Review: The Rebirth of Sin

The Rebirth of Sin The Rebirth of Sin by Courtney Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A New Design


MY THOUGHTS?

When I read the first book I wasn’t quite shock, ‘cause as you all know I’m used to read quite dark & rough things, and this one had a quite light version of it, at exception of some dentist issue, of course. But let me tell you that the warning of the first book, comes mostly in handy for THIS BOOK.

The author touches the surface of contemporary themes that are a bit conflict nowadays, such as the misinterpretation of certain religions to certain texts, the hypocrisy of the higher masses & the need to find a way to conquer our fears.

I liked the complexity of the book. Wasn’t too erotic, rather a really awful version of rough BDSM, until Breadan comes into scene
The story is high paced, told from the POV of ALL the principal characters, and throws all your sympathy, all the thoughts you might have at certain point about the characters right though the window, every now and then.
If the first book made me remember to that Tom Cruise movie Eyes wide closed…this has nothing to do with it, so I’d go with an extreme version of 50SoG for a couple of chapters…I guess.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED

STORY
So, do you remember these guys?
description

Well the first book leave us with the premise, that they were gonna give it a go in order to make things work out , in the real world. So we get to see their lives in their brand new reality and how things that used to be well cimented for us in the first book, take an interesting TWIST

So, everyone would thought that NOAH would struggle with his inner demons in the real world in order to be with Keaton, right? But what we didn’t’ see is that he would actually EMBRACE THEM FULLY, and that Keaton would become in a huge part of his plans.
KEATON, well she’s finally back at home, back to her fortune, her parents and her friends, back to the life with the big socialite…right back at the place where she ran from.

She’s actually struggling with herself, her fears, weaknesses and real demons…in other words she’s at the mercy of anyone who can seems to bring her a bit of light & balance to her caothic life.

So
SHE needs a knight in a white armor that makes her feel safe
HE needs an innocent and broken girl that abides to his will
• Put both together and what will we get?

Remember that they are now in the real worlf, right in front of the eye of everyone to see, and you should know that our lovely Noah…is a terrible actor, so everyone that cares for Keaton would do the impossible to help her and knock some sort of sense inside of her thick head.

Now, remember that Keaton needen a Knight in white armor?, well… looks like her family ran right into the perfect one.

But Keaton, being Keaton and with all her inner issues…well…

OMG!!!!
This was soooo good, can't seriously wait til I get book 3 I'm my hands. Please that day couldn't come soon enough!
So many themes, so many twisted, so many things.
I believe that the warning of the first book comes in handy for THIS book 'cause definitely this is not a love story!
I'm in shock & also I'm in awe! I don't have a clue who's the good guy anymore! But I can't deny that I also fell in love with Braedan... And the way he talked about Keaton in the past and now....f*ck! The things Noah did!! That guy really made me afraid sometimes.
I just ...wow!
I love when a book throw me out of the curve and leave with confusion after so many twists.
Lets just say that the full review to come is gonna be really long!

So glad I could get myself an ARC
Totally recommended for those who can stomach things quite rough! And not rough in a sexy meaning of the word oh and a bit disgusting... The last scene... Totally gross!!! But they deserved it! Hell yeah they did!

Review: The Sect by Courtney Lane

BLURB
WARNING: This book contains pretty much every dark theme there is. Not recommended for those with any triggers or sensitivities to violence, dubious and/or absent consent, and deviant sexual acts.*****This is NOT a romance and it is not a story of "true love". Keaton Mara ran away from a life that had become a nightmare to live on the streets. While the location she now calls home is a dangerous place, she is protected by an unlikely friendship. The streets provided her with the education she could've never earned from the prestigious university she attended. Regrettably, the term 'educated fool' becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Due to meeting a man with whom she shares a captivating chemistry with, her judgment is clouded, resulting in a fateful decision. The consequence of trusting the prepossessing stranger results in her being stolen away to a place unknown. Her deceptive new surroundings are just as beautiful as the people who reside there. She discovers that it's a place where the culture of sex without limits or morals is their religion. Keaton quickly begins to realize that the beautiful scenery serves to hide a very dark truth. The seductive and enigmatic man--who lured her there--desires to save her soul. His intentions are sinister, because saving her soul is synonymous with breaking her. Because Keaton believes her soul was brutally stolen from her many years ago, she thinks he can't save (or destroy) something she no longer has. She...was...wrong.

yep! Pretty much Eyes Wide Shut style XD
Yeah we have a lot of that.

The first warning of the author? I think was a bit unneeded except for this part.
If you believe some things should be left sacred or untold, this is definitely not the book for you.

I come from a catholic school, what can I say
Besides of it? There’s nothing to worry about at all!, at exception of a twisted visit to the dentist, that is

So, a very promising beginning where we get that the female character is already trying to escape from a nightmare,what nightmare?...you have to read the book.. XDanyway our heroine goes so far as to go as homeless by a while in order to escape from it…and in that scenario, the rumor was that this generous and millionaire guy was helping homeless people in a very encrypted way.
Most said it was an urban myth and Reven was simply a motivational speaker who traveled across the country, doing his charitable duty to help the less fortunate with his words or good deeds.

Lucky her! …She got picked.
Only to realize that, in that Paradise
A mentally unstable individual twisted the meaning of a religious text.



Once there… is where everything turns interesting.

So…trying to break her, right?
