I have finished Sins in the Night by S.H.Timmins and all I can say is 'WOW!' This is definitely my kind of book! It has everything a good book I love should have, intrigue, suspense, drama, its full of action that I read this book in two sittings. And of course, steamy sex scenes that will make you wish you were in the female lead. (I did.)
Sins in the Night is the first dark book by S.H Timmins and I read and I hope it isn't the last as I am amazed at how she can so effortlessly go from light and fluffy books like her Destination Series (Bent, Buffed, Bound.)to Sins in the Night that is rich in blood and darkness. If you haven't read the Destination Series you must they are so humorous you'll be laughing out loud. This to me shows that S.H Timmins is a truly talented author when she can write different genres of books and do them so well. Her style of writing is descriptive and eloquent with a natural flow to it. The story line is captivating as S.H.Timmins draws you in until the book is over and you'll scream 'now what?' I will definitely be keeping an eye on her career.
Sins in the Night is about..
Debbie: a woman completely on her own in life, no friends, no family. The only family member she had left was killed in front of her ....by him.
Loki: a killer, who's thirst for blood consumes him, he must feed his demons but witnesses are not to be left alive. Ever. He slipped up once and he vowed never to do it again.
An unfortunate situation allows them to cross paths again but this time will he allow her to survive? He let her live once after she has seen his face, but twice? No. He will play with his 'little cat's before he will dispose of her. That's his plan but plans have a habit of changing, don't they?
What I loved about Sins in the Night is the following:
1.Debbie,a female who is not fragile or a damsel in distress but a strong and independent woman who can survive all that life throws at her. I love that she doesn't crumble into a mess when she has every right to nor does she feel sorry for herself.
2.Loki's need to control and dominate to get what he wants regardless of the barriers or people involved. I love the relationship between himself and Blake. It was good to see the humorous side of Loki as well as his dark side.
3.The two different pov's worked brilliantly for me and there was evident of character development throughout the book. The two povs give us the reader such an in depth insight to what is going on in each mind. I found Loki really interesting as a character especially as he became conflicted about what he should do and his inward struggle to deal with his own emotions.Ones that have been long dead and buried.
4.This storyline will leave you constantly guessing at what Loki will do next with a few added gasping moments as well as 'wtf, did he seriously just do that?' moment that will leave you rereading the last bit, only for you to go 'yep, he really just did that' EW!
One thing I would really love is that the story of Loki and Debbie to continue.I think S.H Timmins has so much scope and depth in the story and characters that it needs to carry on. I need to find out what happened next to Debbie and Loki, I also want to hear Blake's story. Plus once you've finished you'll agree too.
This book that is steeped in my kind of darkness. Everyone had a different view of dark books. Some may think that this book is very dark, others may not think it's the darkest thing that they've read. But regardless of you think that is book is dark or not, it's one amazingly enjoyable 5 star read that you won't put down until it's over and I promise that you'll be in book funk. I was.
