This series just keeps getting better and better. This is Bk2 in the Cardinal Sins series. I tell you these ladies are fucking amazing together they have this way of sucking you into the story from start to finish pulling you through the twists and turns and taking you on a wild ride.
I have to say I don't know who I love more in this series Fletcher for his nerdy brain and his heart breaking past ugh that just brought back memories, so beware of the trigger warnings, Rick for his big heart and his amazing cooking skills who cares if he's a lil OCD, Vianna this lady is something else she's always done what she was trained to do without fear of things going wrong now she has 2 men who she's learning to care for and maybe, maybe falling in love with them as well.
Then there's Channing Cash Morgan FBI agent who you got a bit of his trying to track down the vigilante killer The Judge in Book 1.
Well he's gone so far as to land himself into hot water with the bureau for his obsessive hunt for the Judge. He just so happens to stumbles across Vianna one night and the next thing he knows he finds himself in her basement, so now how is he going to get out?
Just when I thought book 1 was so good these lady up their game in this book. After that ending now we'll have to wait for Bk3 to see what game is in play.

Oh man! What a ride....
This was a great read! Vienna definitely attracts a type - crazy. But hey at least they're hot and will do anything for her. The dynamic between Rick and Fletcher is hilarious. I loved how they worked up to a slow acceptance of each other for Vienna's sake. It was also really enjoyable to see their relationships with Vienna develop. She realizes she needs them both since they both give her something different to look forward to. She accepts them and claims them and that was nice to see. Fletcher has secrets and I wonder how that will unravel. The biggest surprise was Cash - he'll fit right in to the group, of that I have no doubt but I wonder how that will go.
My favorite emotional part of the book is the realistic portrayal of Vienna's grief over losing her dad. She'll be fine but then it'll hit her that he's gone. I don't think she's been able to grieve properly as she has chosen to focus on the mission but the sense of loss is familiar.
All in all I highly recommend the book and series!

I think it’s safe to say that I absolutely adore the FMC in this series. She’s strong, smart, independent and such a great character. I have enjoyed getting to know her more and seeing the changes she has experienced, and is continuing to experience. I know she’ll continue to surprise us and witnessing her journey is just another reason why I have been enjoying these books.
The guys are also a highlight for me. I had my favorite in the first book but now I’m not sure who I would pick. We’ve begun to understand them on a deeper level and how they work together within this dynamic.
There is mystery and intrigue but I have been looking forward to the characters with their drama and banter a lot. Not that the mystery isn’t interesting and I do want to know what’s happening, I just really like these characters.
The cliffhanger hit a bit harder than the first and I know that the next book will be even better.

OMG! Vienna is so amazing! She is so smart, resilient and morally grey! I am a sucker for a good morally grey character and Vienna is it! Rick and Fletcher are very supportive sidekicks and I love their devotion. Everything we learned about them, and Vienna was really eye opening and I loved diving into their backgrounds and learning about why they are the way that they are. Cash is also an interesting character. I loved the chemistry between Vienna and Cash and how they both try to one up the other to get information. I need book three because this one ended on a cliffhanger that is to be expected with all of Heather Long's and Blake Blessing's books.

Blake and Heather have done it again. Although, not surprised. They delivered another page turning, suspenseful book with our beloved Vienna. And I was here for all of it. Vienna is the girl you wanna be, the one you’re envious of, and want as your best friend all in one. She honestly makes the entire series. One of my favorite female heroines. The characters have developed and we learn a lot more especially about Fletch’s past. Vienna is just trying to navigate her life and slowly accepting new people in it. Especially learning to trust them. Never an easy feat especially with someone with her history. This book will leave you on the edge of your seat and begging for more when you hit that *dreaded* last page. Ugh WTF Blake and Heather…I’d expect nothing less so GREAT WORK ON A JOB WELL DONE

First Chorus by Heather Long and Blake Blessing is a dark reverse harem romantic suspense. This is the second book in the Cardinal Sins series.
Heather and Blake did a great job pulling me into the story. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I am loving relationship between Vienna, Merrick, and Fletcher. I can't wait to see what will come of Cash as the series progresses. I really enjoyed getting Vienna, Merrick, Fletcher, and Cash's points of view throughout the book. it really brought the story to life.
The book ends on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series High Note to be released on July 26, 2022.
I would recommend this book if you like romantic suspense, psychological thrillers, or dark romances.

Okay, it’s official. I’m in love with Vienna. Rick and Fletcher? Also great. But I have a big time girl crush on our main girl. She is incredibly smart, driven, (a little morally grey but that’s okay) and she’s learning how to be vulnerable which I love.
I loved getting a little more insight into Vienna’s work and why she does what she does. The dynamic between her and Cash was also very intriguing, and I can’t wait to see where that goes.
The ending? RUDE. Just so rude. But also so so good!!! I’m dying for the next book already!
