The Miracle Sin by Marcus Hawke
4.0
This book does not hold back, it does not shy away from the nitty-gritty, and certainly keeps you coming back for more.
Following Mason Cole and company, readers are quickly drawn to the characters presented in this book. From the perfection of how they are all introduced, woven into the story in such a way, it makes them truly pop off the page. Each character had their own pattern of speech, their own quirky ways that made them stand out from one another. It was done so well, that one would not guess this is a debut.
The first act, I was absolutely submerged in the story. The way the tale is told is superbly done, there is not denying that. I enjoyed how really, anything could happen in this book, and there was no way to predict what was going to come next - but nothing felt left field or out of place.
The growth of Mason is tremendous, and absolutely believable. Not just his growth, but everything about Mason. He was relatable on various levels, making him a character you root for, because you can see yourself in him. On the flip side, you can also see yourself in the villain. A villain with charisma, a villain with just enough good peppered in so readers can understand and sympathize - that's the perfect villain.
I got a little bit lost here and there, but nothing major that deterred my enjoyment of the book. There was just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek humour, as well as laugh-out-loud humour. I find laughability a staple in a good book. Overall, I really enjoyed "The Miracle Sin", and am looking forward to more by the author.
