Sinners & Saints #1
Sinner
There are preconceived notions about everything in life. A woman who lives on the streets and wears short skirts in public must be a sinner. A woman who attends church every week must be a saint. However, everything is not always as it seems. In fact, it rarely is.
Police chief’s daughter, Danielle Beckett, grew up knowing two things. One: anything worth having was worth hiding from her father, and two: she wanted to be the best at what she did. Her business, Sinners & Saints Modeling Agency, does well for itself but what happens behind the scenes does better. As an exclusive high priced call girl she has everything she wants while keeping everyone in the dark.
Life is great until her employees start being picked off one by one. Danielle starts missing days and everything falls apart. As her life unravels around her, she is forced to not only choose between her safety and her business, but between her business and the one thing she never saw herself wanting.
How can she keep her business and herself alive, when she knows one story, but the police know another?

Wow, just simply wow... I went into this book expecting one story but got a totally different one which kept me hooked and continually second guessing what was going on but it truly blow me away as the story unfolded....
Danielle, is the chief of police's daughter and as learnt that if its a good thing it's best to keep it from her father, and that's what she does.... Saints and Sinners is a modelling / high class hooker agency.... She has it all or so she thinks by living life by three simple rules....
Till the worse happens and her girls start disappearing and rounding up dead....
Her perfect life starts to come tumbling down around her and she has to start making life changing choices....
This story will take you on a rough road but keep you needing more as the secrets not even Danielle is aware of come pouring out.....
I really can't find the words to convey how much I loved and enjoyed this book without giving away spoilers but trust me this is a book you don't want to miss out on... it will capture you and keep you there till the very end.....
This is amazing start to a new series and I can not wait for the next book so see where this story goes.....

WOW!!!!
I was completely blown away by this book...at 4:30 am, just as the plot twisted I jolted up out of bed, screeching because I was absolutely STUNNED!!!! Sinner kept me swiping the pages from the very first sentence...I was immediately drawn in, intrigued and wondering what would happen next.
Dani has it all-a well put together business woman-owner of Saints and Sinners Modeling Agency. She has the world at her feet, and life couldn't be better. Sexy men eating from the palms of her hands, more sex than any woman could desire, and a lavish life to boot. Suddenly, her models begin turning up dead. You'll be left questioning who's behind the murders, but you won't believe it when the truth comes out. I was astonished. The plot twist is BRILLIANT!!!
I loved the characters in this book...each have their own personalities that are different, and realistic. I absolutely LOVED Brendon. My heavens that man loves with a strong, full heart-so endearing. I hope he gets the HEA that he deserves, but with the twists of Sinner, I am anxiously awaiting for what new twists and turns Katheryn gives us!!

4.5 stars
Katheryn has gone to the dark side and I can't get enough of it !
Sinner is a massive change in direction for this very talented author, but one that she excels at.
She writes evil so well !!!!
Danielle is living a double life, her model agency Sinners and Saints is a front for her high class call girls.
Her father is the chief of police, suddenly the girls that work at Sinners and Saints start to go missing and turning up dead. Danielle's secret life is starting to come apart, but who would do this to her and why ?
This book is very cleverly written and takes on many POVs during the story enabling the reader to form an opinon on all the characters. I'll admit I'm fairly new to the 'dark' romances so there were scenes I found shocking, and not for the faint of heart but these were the scenes that kept me gripped to this story. There were so many twists and turns I thought I'd end up with whiplash.
At some point during my reviews I swoon over the male lead but surprisingly the male lead in this book is the secondary character and I was more than okay with that in fact it's testimony to Katheryn's amazing writing skills she was able to entertain me with story content alone.
Don't worry though there are some very saucy scenes - well she is a high class prostistute
Where as I really enjoyed this dark tale, I will end with a warning this book will not be everyone's cup of tea but it is one hell of a ride and one I'm glad I took.
The only down side I need book two like yesterday !!!

OMG this book was a total mind fuck! I love and hate Dani but in a way I guess thats the point. This book is seriously twisted and keeps you guessing about who did it all the way through.

Danielle Beckett is the daughter of a police chief and publicly runs Sinners and Saints Modeling Agency. Yet behind closed doors she is actually running a call girl agency. When several of her girls end up murdered she knows she has to be careful but at the same time she must hide her secret business from others.
As Danielle tries to deal with all of the stress piling up she also has to contend with her new hire, Harper, her long standing client Brendan Ledger and a bitter employee, London.
Can Danielle contend with everything she is up against when she knows something is not right?
This was a very entertaining book with some awesome twists that make you wonder what is really going on.
Danielle knew what she wanted from life and had two sides of her business - the legitimate one and the illegal one and it was interesting watching her balance it all. I felt like she was legitimately torn in how she felt about Brendan as she really cared about him but she didn't consider herself worth enough for him and she didn't want him risking his position for her.
Towards the end my jaw began to drop when there was a Tara incident and then the pictures. I was absolutely shocked at what was revealed next and I couldn't believe all the secrets that had been kept from her and how she just had no clue.
The very end was OMG and I can't wait to find out what happens next!!

Hmmm...
I kind of guessed where this was headed by the third chapter, but it still managed to hold my attention. Not sure how I feel about the characters, but I can say that I loved the plot.

REVIEWING FOR SASSY DIVAS BOOK BLOG
5 PAGE-TURNING, SUSPENSEFUL STARS!!!
OMG!! What a fantastic book!! I seriously recommend you just go right ahead and skip this review, buy it, read it and then come back. It had me turning those pages so fast to find out what was going on that I thought my Kindle was going to start on fire!
I loved the suspense in this book, it had me hooked right from the start and it's been awhile since a book has had me feeling that way. I read the book in
less than a day!!! <3 when this happens.
So let's get to it....we have Dani, the daughter of the the local police chief and owner of Sinners & Saints Modeling Agency and a little hanky panky behind the scenes. Her employees start disappearing and showing up dead. Her dad is worried sick about her and is scared that she'll be next. She beefs up her security, double checks her client list and does not see why or who would be doing this to her. Only her employees/clients know about the call girl service that she has and those clients are high salaried men that do not have any inclination of hurting anyone.
While visiting her dad at the station, she sees this helpless girl, Harper and decides to take her under her wing and help her out. The girl has no idea who she is or why she's there. She hasn't been listed as a runaway or missing persons so Dani figures she can at least get her back on her feet. She takes her back to her place, explains the day-to-day dealings of her business and gives her a job.
After getting to know each other a little bit she has a conversation with herand she says a few things that don't add up and that she doesn't remember saying or doing. She decides she better get a background on her and see if there is anything that she can find out about her.
Oh and just wait until you meet Tara!! That bitch is cray cray!
A few quotes to peak your interest just a bit more...
"It's only nice to feel used when you're being paid. Next time, stick to what you know. Feelings and flings aren't your specialty." -Tara
"My issue is that you're in here wallowing instead of standing up and fighting. You've lost multiple girls to this sick bastard. When is it going to hit you that you survived, that you get another chance at this? Wise the fuck up and realize that." -Harper
"Oh my god! Will you just give up already? Nobody loves you. Nobody will ever love you. You're nothing but a tainted whore." -Tara
"You're nothing but a weak, hopeless whore. Better get used to that feeling because without me, that's all you'll ever be. No matter what Brendon says, without me, he won't love you as much. If I have anything to do with it, every person that loves you will hate you soon enough.." -Tara
One-click, one-click, one-click!! What are you waiting for?!

Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
Danielle, or Dani, is the owner of the Sinners and Saints modeling agency. By day, her employees work as fashion models; by night, they double as high class call girls. Her business is successful, raking in money and keeping herself and her girls happy in their upscale lifestyles, a feat considering Dani’s father is the chief of police. When her girls start showing up murdered, the agency comes under scrutiny, and Dani’s life will change forever. But is her life really what she thought it was? Or is her family keeping secrets from her that shed light on her past and influence her future?
Brendon Ledger is a senator and a regular client of Dani’s. Unlike a lot of her clients, Brendon is unmarried, unattached, and really has no reason to employee the services of a call girl, however after years of seeing Dani on a business transaction basis, he looks to take their relationship further, actually becoming a legitimate couple. While Dani thinks a relationship is something she can never have. She is concerned about what the fallout might be for Brendon’s career if caught in the scandal once the police start investigating the murders. Brendon however, is willing to give up his career just to be with Dani. But once those secrets start to come out, is he going to be there for her when she most needs him?
There is a plot twist that you won’t see coming and it will hit you like a truck. Seriously. I won’t give any spoilers because you need to experience the WTF moment yourself, but let me say, you’re going to shake your head saying, “what did I just read?” Ms. Kiden definitely has taken the genre of romantic suspense to a different level and the result is a page-turner you won’t want to put down.
The relationships between the characters are complicated, especially given that Dani and her father are on complete opposite sides of the law. She has a rapport with the police, which seems to keep her under their radar. But when a new detective, Cooper Hayes, comes on board, suspicious of Dani’s business dealings, she finds her relationship with the department in jeopardy.
The story is complex, steamy, and well written and the characters are well developed. I found myself pulling for Dani and Brendon, hoping that they can find their happily ever after despite the circumstances, especially given the hand that Dani was dealt. This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Kiden and certainly not the last!

Have you ever read a story that instantly pulls you in then completely blows your mind?? Well this book will most certainly do that. I would give this book a 4.5 stars! I fell in love with Katheryn Kiden's writing in her Save Me Series, Sinner for me solidified that Katheryn Kiden is a flipping genius! It is the first book in the Sinner and Saints series and will end in quite the cliff hanger that will leave you mystified and spellbound. I have to say this book exceeded my expectations by a long shot, and just a fair warning Katheryn has a very twisted and dark mind in this book so it is not for the faint of hearts. If you love a dark seriously mind twisting love story then this is definitely the book for you. I don't want to give away much with this review because there are so many secrets and twists that the wrong wording could give away so much.
Dani is a very successful business woman who prides her self on being elite in her business and personal life. She doesn't do love or relationships because of her job and it just doesn't fit into her world. But when her world will get torn upside down when secrets from her past meet the present. Her business life becomes nothing to her because her personal life takes a turn in a direction that she never expected. Through twists and turns and life and death situations she will find her path in life wasn't at all what she thought it was. One thing she will learn is she doesn't know who to trust, and most importantly she will learn she has a secret that she didn't even know and this secret will start to consume her.
There's always going to be someone who leaves us too early. Someone who changes your life, either for the worse or better; but life always goes on without them. You mourn and grieve for a while, and then you just pick up and move on. Maybe every now and then the fact that the person is no longer with you will hit you, but no matter what, you survive.--- DANI
Will her secret make her see the true way her life should go?? Can one man change everything she ever knew about love? Or will this secret turn him and everyone she knows away from her forever?
Go get this book ASAP! You don't wanna miss out on it.. my review is vague but you will understand why I have to keep it that way.. no spoilers will be given here and I hope everyone out there keeps it that way. Thanks Katheryn for a great story and I need Saintlike yesterday!

Katheryn Kiden has done it again with her new book Sinner, book 1 of the Sinner & Saints series! This book has a little bit of everything to entice the reader to continue to turn each page with baited breathe and an anticipation that rivals nothing else. If you enjoy a good love story embedded within a murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very ending cliff hanger, I suggest that you hurry over to one-click this book and begin reading immediately! I give this book 4.5 stars and I am not so patiently waiting for book 2; because my curiosity needs to know how Danielle's story will play out. Amazing job Katheryn!
Danielle Beckett is the daughter of the Police Captain and owner of the modeling agency Sinners and Saints. Sinners and Saints is so much more than just a modeling agency; it is a high end escort service, one that her father knows nothing about. Danielle takes care of the girls who work for her, ensuring that they are more than compensated for their work, letting them all live the high life. The clients are screened thoroughly to ensure everyone's safety, and Danielle even takes a few clients herself. But are the girls truly as safe as Danielle believes them to be? It would seem not when the first one of her girls turns up dead.
As the investigation ensues, both Danielle's father and his new detective Cooper worry for her safety. They would probably worry even more had they known about the pictures she was receiving after the murders occur. Someone is targeting her specifically and she had no idea who or why. When Danielle begins to worry about her own safety and the safety of the girls is when the story becomes even more interesting, as the reader tries to anticipate who is behind these murders. Will your assumptions be correct? I know that mine sure weren't and I gasped on more than one occasion while reading when new information was divulged. This series is a must read!!!

Holy freaknflips! This book is the one that will make you late to work. Dahum, it keeps you guessing and ends with an unexpected whammy!
Dani runs a modeling agency called Sinners & Saints. Where the models are also high priced call girls. Her models have been ending up gruesomely beaten to death. We get to see the killer as the girls are taken and beaten. The killer is terrifying in being creative at torture. Dani thinks she is safe from the killer and not just because her daddy is the Police Chief. The killer wants Dani to see what has happened to the girls and make her stop and is taunting Dani. Dani is also seeing one of her clients, a senator. Between the senator, the police chief, and the killer wanting her alive, that should keep a girl safe shouldn’t it? And then there’s Harper, the stray girl that Dani picked up out of the jail lock up. Is she more than she seems and involved with the dead models or just another victim? Dani can’t just go to the police when she is threatened and blackmailed or else daddy and everyone else will know about the side of her company that she wants to keep quiet. Not only will it ruin her life but that of the senator’s. What’s a girl to do when she can’t even go to the police?
Just when you think you have one part figured out here comes the next surprise. I wish I could tell you more but I don’t want to spoil the good parts – and it’s ALL good. This is a wickedly good ride!

Let me first start off with… Katheryn Kiden, I hate you right now. After staying up way past my bedtime, you throw that plot twist at me. COME ON! You can’t do that crap to me! You blew my mind and my ability to sleep for days with this series. My husband blames you for the grumpiness, by the way.
Sinner begins with the not so good girl, Dani and introduces her modeling agency/high dollar escort service. Dani’s women are beautiful creatures that can take a turn on the cat walk and turn very rich men’s eyes to what they can offer them. But, the life of a top dollar escort has begun to take a dangerous turn after several of Dani’s girls turn up brutally murdered. The spotlight turns to her and the suspicions of her father and his brothers in blue run high. Yet, there’s a secret lingering in the dark that several people have kept hidden for years. It’s the kind of secret that when it is revealed will leave you so devastated that you’ll be so mentally messed up that you can’t stop reading. Kiden’s penchant for the dark literary arts are captivating and I for one, cannot wait to see where this series goes. I have a feeling that Ms. Kiden isn’t done quite yet with messing with our minds. There are far too many hearts left beating that may just be marked for the reaper’s scythe.

4.5 Stars! Holy sh*t! Talk about a crazy, twisted, dark read! The first chapter had me second guessing what I had gotten myself into! I am a fan of dark reads, but there were some scenes in this book that were hard to read. This was the first novel I have read by Katheryn Kiden so I really didn't know what to expect. It was well written, had a very addicting storyline with intriguing characters, and had some super HOT scenes! I LOVED it!
Sinner is about Danielle, the owner and head of a high priced escort service under the cover of a modeling agency. One by one, her girls are being brutally murdered by someone trying to rid the world of one whore at a time. While her father, the Chief of police is trying to catch a killer, Danielle is fighting to protect herself from someone who is out to destroy her and also from opening her heart to the one man who could ruin her forever.
I read this book in about one sitting. Once I started, I could not put it down! The twists in this novel will have your head spinning and the cliffhanger at the end will have you dying for book 2! If you are a fan of dark, twisted, crazy a$$ reads...then this is the book for you! This is one hot, psychological thriller that is a must read!

Danielle is the police chiefs daughter, but she is not what everyone thinks. She owns her own business, Sinner and Saints Modeling Agency, which is completely legal, but there are illegal things that go on. The models double as escorts (hookers)!
She has everything she ever wants or needs, but then again i'm sure we all do. Things start to happen, especially after this new girl Harper joins her models. Time goes missing and Dani can' t remember what she did during blackout moments. Her girls end up dead, mutilated!
Trying to find out who is killing off her work family is a lot harder than she thinks, especially when you are the number 1 suspect.
I really enjoyed reading this, there were a few things that I was like, WHAT? I wanted to know what is going on, and what is happening to Dani. I started to piece certain things together and by the end it all wrapped up nicely, well almost. I need to know the rest, will Dani come back? Or is she gone forever!!! It left me hanging!! Good cliffy though, it makes you buy the next book!!! Good Job!

OK.... For the first time in a very long time I am seriously at a loss of words. I am very familiar with Ms. Kiden's work; I love all of her books. But Sinners, Sinners was just freaking out of this world. To say I was shocked throughout the entire book is a complete understatement. Sinners was just amazing. Theirs not much I can write in this review, being that the littlest detail could spoil the story to those who haven't read it yet. So what I will say is that this has to be my favorite Katheryn Kiden book so far.
Sinners is a dark book, so if you're not into the gory shit, that will make you want to scream, this book isn't for you. Luckily I loveeeee the dark stuff. Honestly nothing I say will even amount to how much I loved this book, so all I can say is it's deffinatley a 5 star read, and you just have to go one click it to see for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed!!

** I received an ARC from the Author for an honest review.**
The only thing that I can say right now is WOW! Just WOW! This book is a complete mind f***. I have no words for how this book left me. I am still reeling from the things that were revealed and how the book ended. I will admit that I kind of had some idea of where the author might take this book, but actually reading it was so much better than where I thought it was going. I am such of fan of books that mess with your head the way that this one did.
I really don't think that I can go into any details of this book without giving anything away so I will just say this. If you are a fan of books that make you keep guessing, then you should give it a try. If you like books that mess with your mind and make you say WTF then you should read this book. If you like a great story with some mystery, suspense, murder and hot as hell sex.

Wow!!!! That is the only word that is in my head at the moment! My sister told me I needed to read this story because it was such a mind change and she is absolutely correct!! If your looking for a story that totally messes with everything you know, this is the one you want!
If you are not into dark stories, I definitely would say you should not read this. This story had every dark aspect that you can think of. However, if your like me and you have a little dark and crazy in you (which I'm not sure if I should admit that) then I would pick up a copy of this book! It had me trying to figure out what was going on the whole time while giving me chills in different parts of the story! When things finally came out and I started putting things together, and I figured out what was going on, I was like.... what the heck!!! Lol .. So worth staying up way past my bed time knowing I work tomorrow! Can't wait to start book two and see what will happen next!

Well talk about starting off a book all nasty and dirty and so violent I almost got a stomachache (or headache) reading it! It was just the tip of the iceberg with this steamy, sexy and very interesting dark mystery. I sort of figured out partway through what was going on, but not really who the bad guys/good guys were yet...so that ending was a mind blower for sure and that cliffhanger...oh yeah, it was designed to make you hurry up and grab the next book.
I really enjoy a cleverly written psychological thriller sometimes, and this one had enough romance to keep me interested...although I'm still needing some "brain bleach" to get rid of some of the disturbing images this author presented with no holds barred and very explicitly.
Wow... you need to grab this one if you like to be surprised and figure out "whodunit".

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is a captivating and spicy full of sexy episodes, story about, Sinners and Saints, the elite modeling agency consisting Dani and of all her girls.
As dark erotica, the sexual content does get explicit and there are scenes of violence and mild to moderate gore.
There are several supporting characters essential to the the story as it develops and deepens into the beginnings of a series. There are twists that will leave you astounded and surprised and another a bit disturbed but all should make you want to read the next in her series.

This was an unusual one for me. I liked the suspense elements, but maybe I'm in the minority because I had deduced who the killer was, in body if not in mind. It was, however, a surprise for me at the very end when it revealed who else was involved. The story was much darker than I'm used to, and there were several points in the first third of the book where I almost gave up on it, but I figured with as many positive reviews as it had, there must have been something I either missed or hadn't yet reached. I'm glad I kept with it, but I don't see myself picking up the next book.

I didn't finish this one, perhaps one day down the road I will go back and try again. Something about the writing style bothered me, and the graphic torture scenes was too much for me. I am normally a fan of dark reads, and have read many. My belief is that 'dark' stories need to be really well written - they are a difficult genre. I get the impression that there are some twists and turns in this story, and I really love that kind of story, however, I really couldn't read on at this stage.

Well, Katheryn had advertised this book as completely different from her previous works, and she was right! I won't spoil the plot for you - I will say I enjoyed the story, the suspense and twists, and the way Danielle and the other characters were written. I found myself lost in the world while reading, which doesn't happen too often for me. In my opinion, I think this is Katheryn's best book so far!

This was a rather interesting book....I liked the characters, the way they interacted...what threw me was Dani's black moments. I kind of thought maybe something was up with her...but never imagined her to be like she was. What was uncovered was rather interesting and with the ending, I couldnt wait to dive into Saint.
Well worth adding to your TBR list!!

"A twist in the tale"
Not for the faint-hearted this one! Graphic violence, graphic sex; graphic violence AND sex. The story is told through differing points of view and you may or may not see the truth until the 'reveal' in the last few pages. If you like a walk on the wild side then this is for you. If not, and you still read it, you might find yourself just wanting a taste.

OMG what to say about this book but I had me on a real mind F**K. Dani was the ultimate B**ch but you had no choice but to love her. This book had me up and down and than to see who was behind the whole thing WTH, although I figured it out pretty early I was not disappointed one bit.

Mind Game
I enjoyed this book. There was just enough to keep me guessing. I mean really who done it and why? Suspense thriller with a twist and love. Good job. Buy it if you want something a little different. Sorry no spoilers for you.

Mind blowing!!!
If you love a good thriller, this is your book. Just when you think you know who the killer is, the rug is ripped out from under you. Then the shock of why, and if they can be stopped. Who is next on the list??
