Vampires have existed since almost the beginning of time, but not in the way we have been led to believe. These were not men cursed by the devil but warriors blessed by God to have great strength, agility, and eternal life.

When I first started this book, I had to fight through it. I'm not a big fan of telling multiple interlinked stories in one book. I prefer each to be a stand alone. I'm glad I stuck with it! I ended up loving each of the characters and their stories. I think Dimitri's was my favorite though.

I read this book in preparation for reading the sequel in the Read 2 Review. I'm really looking forward to the next book.

In The Society of Sinners it doesn't focus on the romantic development of just one couple, but rather, is a collection of five stories combined into one novel. In it the reader will find multiple supernatural races, each with their own path to finding love. At first, I admit to being a bit put off by how quickly the couples fall in love.

In it the reader will find multiple supernatural races, each with their own path to finding love. At first, I admit to being a bit put off by how quickly the couples fall in love. Normally, I like to see romance dragged out for awhile. With these stories being about 15k words each, though, they did need to step up the pace to get all the important elements fit in. This is especially true because romance isn't the only thing readers will find, but also plenty of obstacles for the characters to overcome--both emotional and physical. Not to mention a bad guy who inevitably shows up in every story to make things difficult (it wouldn't be any fun if he didn't). This kept the suspense going even when you knew the romance was pretty much a done deal.

Charity Parkerson doesn't blast her readers with a ton of world building up front either like some authors. It's doled out in just the right measures with each character adding their individual mythology and background to form a fuller picture. I enjoyed seeing the puzzle pieces brought together as each story progressed. It brought me deeper and deeper into The Society of Sinners world and helped me to care about them more as I learned how they all related to each other. Even when humans are involved, nothing is ever simple.

I must give a nod to the quirky humor interspersed throughout the novel as well, along with a sense of shamelessness amongst the characters. They generally aren't afraid--especially the women--to voice their inner thoughts. If you want reserved personalities that hold their naughtiness inside, this may not be the book for you. This novel contains twenty-first century women who aren't afraid to say a guy is hot and demand he take his clothes off. I'll be honest and say I usually prefer more subtlety, but the author managed to make such behavior fun and endearing. If I wasn't already married and still out on the prowl...

Anyway, my favorite element of all had to be the interrelationships amongst friends. I've never read a paranormal series where the romance, friendships, and sense of family came through so strong and in equal measures. You don't see it as much at first, but as you get through each story, it becomes very apparent. The group of characters truly pull together in times of need. I could feel myself getting misty eyed at the sweet moments that would crop up between all the action, sex, and drama. It'll make you long for a great group of friends like these who give of themselves so selflessly. Even if they are vampires, werewolves, and other things.

They only thing I have to complain about is some typos and formatting errors (some of these may be native to my iPad because I saw a lot of blue underlined commas others might not see on a Kindle). Luckily, they weren't so bad as to be all that distracting. The story telling keeps you in its grip well enough that you hardly care about them.

Beyond the above mentioned points, I must say I'm glad I gave this novel a chance. The Society of Sinners is fast-paced, original in an over-crowded genre, and full of fun characters. Readers who like their paranormal with a lighter touch and plenty of humor and sassiness should pick this one up right away. I plan to be reading a lot more by this author in the future. She's got me hooked. (less)

I must admit, whilst reading ‘The Society of Sinners’, I couldn’t quite decide how much I liked it or not (let me just add that, whilst I enjoy a bit of sizzling erotic fiction, vampires aren’t usually my thing), but I guess the fact that I kept reading and, in fact, finished the novel in just the one sitting, speaks for itself.

The book is the story of five men, members of the Society. Brandon, the vampire next door who ends up working with humans to help humans and vampires start a new life. Jazz, the vampire who is like a monk, serving God and the Society as a special elite warrior. Gabe, the werewolf, who walks away from the Society to try to live a normal life as a game warden for the mountain surrounding the little town of Jackson Station, Tennessee, where all the stories take place. Dominic, the vampire who tracks those who are sought by the Society, and Dimitri, a tainted vampire.

Vampires are not cursed by the devil or made by evil but by God as warriors for good, to battle evil and protect humans. They are much more than the familiar undead from so many of the books on the species. They are living beings who eat, sleep, and live like humans, however they have the usual strength, agility, and the eternal life to be able to perform the duties given to them.

The organization that kept the vampires and other supernatural entities from evil and who avenged those who were harmed by that evil is the Society of Sinners. And they take their mission very seriously in this first book. The evil comes from other vampires. Those who have the same powers as the warriors, who were once warriors in their own but who decide they want to rule, to have power over others. They use those powers for their own gain and to harm others. They create minions by harming and turning humans into vampiric slaves, they kill, and because of their actions they and their progeny are targeted by the Society.

The book reads like an anthologized novella, written in segments for each main character with a prologue for each that defines the background of the vampires and the Society. The stories have a main focus on the character but it has the other characters involved as well and it connects with a weaving that is complex yet very beautifully done. Each story gives the character his own voice and sets up the next and the situations with smooth grace.

I've not read a paranormal romance quite like this one and I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series. (less)

Firstly, I loved the individual stories that were all interwoven. The only problem I had, was that just as I felt I was getting to know a character, they disappeared.

The story tells the lives of five couples:

Brandon and Stacey. I was immediately thrown into the middle of a story which I wish had been a little more developed. I would have liked to have been introduced to each character in a different way, and given a little more back story into their lives. I felt they went from being two strangers one minute, to lovers and then married within the blink of an eye. Everything seemed to happen too quickly and at times it was even a little confusing. The fact that Stacey accepted what she had become, so easily, was a little off-putting. She had just suffered through a terrible ordeal, only to wake up and find out she is now a vampire/tiger hybrid, and she was fine with it. I'm not sure if I could be so forgiving and accepting.

Jazz and Cherish. I really enjoyed this couple. Even though their loved seemed almost instantaneous, I did feel I got to know them a little better. The fact that they played a role throughout the rest of the book was also something I enjoyed. Unlike the first couple who appeared once or twice, but had pretty much faded out after the first few chapters. I'm not sure if I even remember Stacey being mentioned any time after the brief moment she talks Cherish into joining Safe Haven.

Gabe and Taylor. I enjoyed their interaction with each other, but again everything moved too quickly. And the constant jump between past and present was somewhat annoying, and again very distracting. For me Taylor was a weak character. One minute she is avoiding Gabe after discovering he is a werewolf, and the next, she is agreeing to marry him. I would have liked to see her stand her ground a little more.

Dominic and Mika. Dominic pops up in Gabe and Taylor's story, and at first I really didn't care very much for his character, but as his story unfolds, I found myself warming towards him. The love he holds for Mika feels real and unrushed, perhaps because they shared a life many years before. Mika is also a wonderful character and probably my favorite of all the female leads in the book.

Dimitri and Annabelle. Dimitri has suffered a horrible life. He's been a lab rat for The Society, lost his wife and turned to the dark side. But as soon as he is "freed" we see a different side to him. His love for Annabelle is genuine. Annabelle, is the daughter of Gabe and Taylor. She grew up loving Dimitri, at first as a friend but soon her feelings morphed into real love. Out of all the couples they seem to have the strongest bond.

I really did enjoy this book, with it's many characters, but all in all I would have liked to see and feel more sexual tension and chemistry between the couples. I did love the twist Ms. Parkerson put on the whole vampire lore though, and I will be reading the second book in the series.
Thank you to read2review and Charity Parkerson for giving me the opportunity to read The Society Of Sinners.

Society of Sinners has a distinct take on vampires and werewolves, and I always love when an author creates a new twist on the old folklores. Rather than portraying them as evil beings damned by God, they are warriors blessed by god, defending humans against evil.

Each part focuses on a specific couple, but all the males characters know each other, and are connected by their past. It was an easy, light read, but it definitely had more potential. This seemed like an introduction to a series as it is not developed fully, and the writing was not as smooth as I thought it could be. I would have liked more character development and better transitions into each story.

First story was Brandon and Stacy’s Story:
Brandon and Stacy were neighbors with a secret mutual attraction, until one day Stacy spied Brandon “biting” the pizza delivery man at his front door. For some reason, it not only peaks Stacy’s curiosity, it turns her on as well. The beginning of the story happened too quickly for me. There wasn’t much build up or sequence of events leading up to things, and actions just occurred. I didn’t really feel Brandon and Stacy’s love grow…it just was there. Stacy learns about the Society of Sinners. As Brandon's woman, Stacy was now part of the action.

Second Book: Jazz Anderson and Cherish Tyrone’s Story:
This was my favorite story. Cherish was a vampire in hiding, working as a bartender. Jazz was a regular patron who came into her bar every Friday. One night, a drunken patron disrespects Cherish, and Jazz stepped in to demand he apologize to her. Jazz then asked Cherish out on a date and their story builds from there. They were a couple of loners looking to belong to someone. The lack of extraneous characters in the beginning of their interaction also made this one more enjoyable.

Third Book: Gabe Woodsman and Taylor Powell’s Story:
This was my runner-up for favorite story. Taylor was a woman looking for love, and would stay out at night fantasizing, when one day her fantasy guy becomes real. The two make love under the moon, but the next morning she finds herself back in her own reality. Alone. Imagine her surprise, when her fantasy guy walks into the diner where she works. My favorite Quote in this entire book was an exchange between Cherish and Taylor : “What can I get for you tonight, Taylor?” “A husband.” Cherish looked behind her, as if searching the shelves for just such a thing before turning back to her with a smile. “Sorry I’m fresh out. Maybe I could interest you in Vodka sour instead. It causes the same effects as having a husband. First you get a rush of euphoria only to be replaced by regret in the morning.” The humor in this story made laugh out loud. The relationship between the Gabe and Taylor was more realistic. What I liked was how Gabe immediately wanted to be a part of her life, even though he wasn’t sure how he would convince her to give him a chance. This was the first story with a good glimpse into the Jackson Station community. It showed a community truly concerned with the happiness and protection of their own. I also enjoyed the friendships the various couples were forming with each other. Each couple’s love was developing in a nice pace.

Fourth Book: Dominic and Mika Nikitin’s Story:
Dominic can feel and hear people’s thoughts so he wears gloves. Mika was his wife who we thought betrayed him years ago. They were hunting a changeling named, Dimitri Ninotchka, but Mika helped him disappear and Dominic misunderstood her reasons. This story helped the married couple work out their issues, and also showed a little dissension with the Society’s agenda. At the end the new couples all worked together to help Dominic, Mika and Dimitri.

Fifth Book: Dimitri Ninotchka and Annabelle Woodsman’s Story:
This story occurs 25 years later. Annabelle is Gabe’s daughter. She’s almost twenty-seven years old and she has a crush on family friend, Dimitri Ninotchka. We quickly see it is a mutual attraction, as Gabe has been hiding his affection for her. All roads point to Gabe having a fit if anything more develops between Dimitri & Annabelle. This story felt like author was trying to wrap up the story with a nice bow, with everyone getting their happily ever after. Regardless, it was a cute read, and I enjoyed how all the couples were connected both by their past and by their present choices.

I recommend this book for those who want a light and quick read. There is nothing too heavy. As it is only book 1, I expect the sequel to be much stronger.

Incredible! This novel is like waking up Christmas morning to find that Santa brought you every single thing you wanted on your wish list!

The Society of Sinners is a compilation of five different short stories making it refreshingly unique in this genre. Each one tells the story of a specific character; however, they are all interlaced by bringing characters in and out from the other stories as needed, and by keeping the overall plot the same.

I had a bit of trouble following the characters at first but once I figured out how they all went together I couldn't put it down! I will now be anxiously awaiting the next one as the ending leads you to think that.
