So again HOW GOOD CAN A BOOK BE!
Loved this! And this was even darker than the first one, did not see that coming! And maybe thats way i loved this one too!
Can’t wait other ones! Hope they are as good as the other two had been!
These covers are so pretty! Love when people make effort for the covers too!

 Sin is an unhinged, morally black MMC. He cares about one thing and one thing only, and that’s Elli.

Elli has had a traumatic life, and in Sin she finds both her devil and her salvation.

This book is dark, spicy, and fully of mystery. The writing is captivating and Shantel keeps you hooked, giving you just enough that you want to know what will happen next. 


Sinner is everything you want and expect from a shantel book. Dark, gritty, spicy and intense. If you have triggers please be sure to read them before diving in.

My only qualm is that I could of done with more plot and less spice, which is something I don’t commonly say. But if you loved Ritual, you will not regret taking the plunge and reading The Sinner.

But let’s be clear, reading Ritual is not mandatory to enjoy this book. It definitely can be read as a stand-alone.

Should I be ashamed for rating this 4 stars? Probably. But you’d be lying if you said you didn’t want someone as obsessed and protective over you as Sin was with Elli 👀
