The Sinner by Kelsey Clayton
1.0

I only read 63% of this book.

Grayson and Savannah used to be best friends when they were kids. Then something happened to make Grayson and his family disappear. Savannah tried to find him but it was useless. Meanwhile, Savannah’s father gradually turns to drugs and alcohol, bringing her life crashing down even more. And Grayson? He returns with revenge (towards Savannah) on his mind.

If none of that made sense it’s because this didn’t make sense to me.

It’s also icky. Grayson is 18 and Savannah turns 18 in the middle of the story. For me, this story is icky because it has adult situations for two characters who behave like they are fourteen. I don’t have a problem with dark romance (on the contrary, I prefer it most times), but there is dark romance and there is a story about toxicity. Which that, too, can be intriguing if done well. And, well, I didn’t finish this one so……

Just ew.
