His Sinner / Saint & Sinner Duet #2

Blurb
 He’s her saint . . . now she’ll be his sinner.
Saint
Briar is more than my muse—she’s my soulmate.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
After a writing retreat in seclusion with me, she’ll never want to leave. And if she does? Perhaps I simply won’t let her.
After all, what’s a saint without his sinner?
Briar
My masked stalker is forcing me to stay with him in his Gothic manor. He claims we’re here for a writing retreat, but I know the real reason he brought me here.
I’m his muse, and he’s going to lock me up forever.
But I can’t leave my life behind. I won’t. No matter how much he makes me want to stay.
Especially when it seems like Saint de Haas may not be the only one stalking me…

My Review (spoiler‼️)
Alright, let's dive into His Sinner… 
Remember how I mentioned the uncanny similarities to "Haunting Adeline" in the first book? Well, hold onto your hats, because Part 2 takes it to a whole new level. It's like the author threw subtlety out the window and decided, "Hey, let's just copy-paste scenes from the original."
I mean, come on, the gun scene? Really? And now, not only does our protagonist have one stalker, but she's got a brand new one to contend with. Talk about beating a dead horse.
I'll be honest, folks, I was this close to calling it quits on this book. I soldiered through, doing my best to skim-read some parts, but let me tell you, by the end, I was kicking myself for not throwing in the towel sooner.
And don't even get me started on that whole subplot with her father. Completely unnecessary and about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
But wait, it gets better. Or should I say, worse? Suddenly, everything starts connecting. Every single character, every story, it's like a web of clichés and recycled plotlines.
It was like the author didn’t give a damn through the duology about being unique and just copied/ whitewashed a bestseller, but than all the sudden got her creative juice flow and tried to ram every possible connection and twist to the ending. Well, it didn’t worked for me. 

In the end, this duology falls flat for me. It's like the author gave up on being original and just decided to ride the coattails of a bestseller. Sorry, folks, but this one's a swing and a miss for me.

Deviant King / RinaVerse #2 / Royal Elite #1

 This book dives headfirst into the unhinged mind of Aiden King—a man with zero boundaries, no sense of morality, and a possessiveness that is downright terrifying. It’s the kind of dark academia romance that will have you questioning your own sanity for enjoying it—and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m here for every crazy minute of it. Aiden King is everything you’d expect from a dark romance anti-hero. He’s arrogant, dangerous, and a complete psychopath hiding behind the perfect mask of a star football player. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and he makes that clear from the get-go. Aiden’s possessiveness is toxic and more often than not, far from charming—he’s the kind of guy that, if you met in real life, you’d probably want to avoid at all costs. Those grey eyes would be enough to make me want to play dead if I ever crossed his path. Try run, and he’ll chase. But in the safety of the pages? I couldn’t get enough of his twisted mind. Or maybe I just need therapy. Aide...

Cruel King / RinaVerse #1 / Royal Elite #0

I’m going to start by saying this: Cruel King is a cornerstone of the “RinaVerse” and an unapologetic guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, I’ve read it more than once, and despite all the hate this series gets, I’ll never be among the critics. This is a dark romance, and for those who love the genre, it delivers exactly what it promises: a whole lot of angst, intensity, and some serious emotional rollercoasters. Let’s talk about Levi King, shall we? He’s a bully. He’s crazy. He’s a total dick most of the time. He demands that everyone bow, break, and bend the knee before him, and he expects no less. But honestly, what do you expect from a dark romance “hero”? You don’t get sunshine and roses here—you get rain, thorns, and all the twisted emotions that come with them. Levi King is ruthless, and that’s part of why I love him. I’ll join him to enjoy the rain any day, thank you very much. He’s one of those morally dark heroes who sticks with you. Sure, his methods are unhinged, but I love every m...

Twisted Kingdom / RinaVerse #4 / Royal Elite #3

  Twisted Kingdom is a fitting, intense end to Aiden and Elsa’s wild, twisted journey. If you’ve followed them through the first two books, get ready, because this one takes a slightly different turn. It’s still as unhinged as ever, with Aiden’s psychopathic tendencies and Elsa’s blind stubbornness in full force, but this time, the story dives even deeper, becoming more emotional and—dare I say it—heartbreaking. In Twisted Kingdom, the revelations about Aiden and Elsa’s past hit hard. Watching them confront the darkest parts of their histories was surprisingly gut-wrenching, and it added layers of emotion I didn’t expect. While Aiden is still the headstrong little psycho we know and love, Elsa starts to grow in new ways, finally coming to terms with her place by Aiden’s side. This book is more about closure and self-acceptance than just their toxic chemistry, and seeing Elsa finally accept her fate—knowing it’s always been with Aiden—was incredibly satisfying. Unlike the previous b...
