REVIEW:

The Season of Sin by Stacy-Deanne will from the title have you thinking it is one thing but from the first words, you know it is something else again.

From the first pages I was drawn into the story and wanted to know what else was going to happen. The story started with Officer Brianna Morris recovering from an assault and discovering, Nadia, her friend has been murdered, probably by the person who assaulted her.

However, before we can get caught up in the 'who-doneit' we are intrigued by the relationship between Brianna and another officer, Steven. Immediately, you see there is history between them, but it doesn't stop the author from adding other characters to their mix. I loved the favors of the characters and the diversity. I also found the mystery and crime elements intriguing.

What I loved most was how the story was fully fleshed out and could be, mystery, romance or simply good storytelling. The crime felt real as did the romance and the 'sin' as indicated in the title. I recommend The Season of Sin to those who love good books.
