Synopsis: Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver Trilogy. Everybody thinks they know Cole's story. Stardom. Addiction. Downfall. Disappearance. But only a few people know Cole's darkest secret -- his ability to shift into a wolf. One of these people is Isabel. At one point, they may have even loved each other. But that feels like a lifetime ago. Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved? (from goodreads.com)
Review: I wasn't a huge fan of the Shiver trilogy so I had no expectations from this book. But I liked Cole and Isabel better than the Sam and Grace so it seemed fitting to give it a try. And like the original series, it was just 'eh.'
Cole is out of control but so sweet toward Isabel. Even though he's all against the grain, he has a soft spot for her and you can tell he genuinely cares about her and their relationship. Isabel, however, is a cold human being. She cuts everyone off before they can get close to her. I felt so bad every time she was rude and snippy to Cole! She was even worse to her poor cousin, Sofia, though I did find her extremely annoying and whiny. I couldn't get a grasp on how old she was because she acted about 5 years old.
The plot felt weak to me, I kept asking myself "what's the point" and "where is this going?" It seemed to drag. And the end....totally saw that coming.
I probably won't pick up any further books that come out in this series. But if you really loved Shiver, I recommend you pick this up.
Recommended For: Fans of the Shiver trilogy
