As Grace and Sam continue to built their own lives Cole wants to go on his own to get his career back, but also to chase after Isabel. So to California the werewolf goes in the pursuit of the girl he loves while on a reality show recording an album and on top of it all Cole has to prove he is truly sober to the world. Or at least for the most part he is sober. Yet it does not go as planned considering Isabel would rather be an Ice Queen protecting her heart than to throw all logic out the window. She knows Cole is a wolf. She knows his past. She refuses to allow her heart to melt no matter how much she feels for the musician because of the way life has gone. Isabel would rather protect herself and have an existence without Cole than allow herself to experience the pain if it does not turn out to be a happy ending.
Sinner is about redemption for Cole and Isabel. Cole has to work through his demons and the tragedy of Victor. He has to survive the show. He has to be worthy for Isabel, who is still stuck on the pages of losing Jack. Isabel has not quite healed since her brother died. She has to make it through her parents’ separation. All she wants is to make it through CNA classes.
Will they both endure their losses? Can Cole actually be sober and there for Isabel? Can Isabel let Cole in and be part of his parade? Or is it all going to go up in smoke? Is anyone else going to end up dead?

““Why did you even come here, Cole?”
I touched her chin. This place, this beautiful place, this girl, this beautiful girl, this music, this life. “I came here for you.””

Even if Sinner is not an ongoing tale about Grace and Sam does not mean it is without what made us love the first three books of The Wolves of Mercy Falls. It is simply focused on the other strange werewolf Cole and his everlasting love for Isabel even if is rather obvious she would not logically go for someone who has been an addict and desperately wanted to die because she refuses to be in such misery no matter if she is hopelessly pulled to Cole, too. For myself it is a curious way to put an end to the series as we sort of get an idea of what happened afterwards to the wolves, but also an understanding more of why Cole St. Clair is so unusual and if he can ever find his happy ending with or without Isabel (the same going for her as well). I actually liked how Sinner takes place in California rather than Minnesota because it adds to the atmosphere that the book is about the two characters from the previous books and not the whole pack. I truly liked the fourth novel for what it is and not how it could have been like other reads have mentioned.
Sinner stands beautifully on it’s own and with the rest of the series. There is unquestionably nothing wrong with the differences this book has. It was a pleasant read and should not be shoved aside. ...more "
