Mhm. Das war jetzt in Ordnung. Nichts allzu überraschendes und ein paar Punkte waren einfach klar. Als Hörbuch ganz nett für Nebenbei!
medium-paced
Had a slow start but did pick up a buy halfway through. A fun read. Will continue with book 2 to see where the story leads.
Hello, and welcome to my new favorite found family! Sin & Chocolate was amazing for many things, but what I loved above all else is Alexis and her teen wards, Daisy and Mordecai. The three of them are a nice unit and who have each other’s backs. Daisy is witty and resourceful (and I hear she’ll be getting a series all of her own which makes me very excited!), and Mordecai is a sweet cinnamon bun with a lot of alpha potential who must be protected at all costs. Yeah, they were definitely my favorites in this book.
Alexis was an amazing protagonist. Having read Breene’s [b:A Ruin of Roses|58785677|A Ruin of Roses (Deliciously Dark Fairytales, #1)|K.F. Breene|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1629116168l/58785677._SY75_.jpg|92563581], I recognized the author’s sass seeping through the pages and giving voice to her protagonist who’s both smart and hilarious. I was also very intrigued by the mystery of her powers, given that she’s mistakenly convinced that they’re nothing special, and also by the whole Ghost Whisperer aspect. Ghost Whisperer is also a show I used to be obsessed with, so imagine my delight when I saw that Alexis could actually talk to ghosts. As for Kieran, I appreciated his step-back from the typical alpha-hole character. He admits his flaws and wants to be the best version of himself, and he does so without losing that touch of dominance that I love in a supernatural love interest.
I’m so excited to continue this series and see where the story leads!
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy of book 1. Opinions are my own.

Do you know that feeling when you finish a great book, and you want to dive immediately into the next one but can’t? That’s the anguish I’m feeling right now, friends. I loved SIN & CHOCOLATE! While this first book isn’t as smutty as A Ruin of Roses—which I expected, given that this is a longer series—it’s no less entertaining, and the feels are all there! This book was funny, sexy and entirely emotional.
Once again, the author found the perfect balance between world-building and plot. I adore her take on Greek Mythology and the way she wove it into something completely new and original within the larger frame of the magical and human factions of her San Francisco. The characters, however, were my favorite thing about this book. The found family dynamic between Alexis, Mordecai and Daisy stole my heart and took me through all the feelings in the feelings spectrum. It was such a wholesome and hilarious group—my favorite kind! I’m also really intrigued by the romance between Kieran and Alexis. Theirs is an instant attraction followed by curiosity, antagonism, forced proximity and slow-building tension—all of my favorite things! I have a feeling when the sparks truly fly between them, it’s going to be absolutely epic! In the meantime, I’m fully on board with this ship already. I loved them as individual characters as well. Alexis is my brand of strong and sassy, while Kieran is the kind of protective alphahole that I just love to read about. Also, he’s Irish. Literally, that made my entire life.

What a ride!!!!
I can't wait for the next book.
This book is a little different from KF other works, but I love it just as much. The main character Alexis is amazing, strong willed yet compassionate and caring. Very funny too.
The make lead is the good/bad guy that everyone loves.
I've loved reading this book and can't wait for the next one

Thank you so much to the author for sending me a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions expressed below belong entirely to me.
I am a huge fan of K.F. Breene's Deliciously Dark Fairytales series, so I was super excited to give this one a try! My biggest takeaway was the intriguing nature of Alexis' powers and the slowburn build between her and Kieran was fabulous.
I read the audiobook version and really enjoyed it, especially the found-family relationship between Alexis and the two teenagers she protects as her wards. The nonstop Lord of the Rings references were greatly appreciated!! I'll definitely be continuing with this series.
