Greed by Lana Pecherczyk
4.0
Greed is the second book in the Deadly Seven series and features Griffin Lazarus, a data analyst(who can detect the sin Greed) and Lilo Likeke, a reporter at Cardinal Copy and Grace's best friend(Grace is the protagonist of the previous book Envy). It's not completely necessary to read this series in order as each book can be read as a standalone, since each one features different couples. But I would definitely recommend reading all the books in the series, to get a better idea of the world and the different characters present. You'll definitely fall in love with this series the way I did!
The series features seven siblings who were genetically engineered in a lab and have the ability to sense the levels of their respective sins in other people around them. When they meet their other halves, they are able to find their balance and also develop new abilities. But there is an organisation which wishes to use these powers for their own agenda, and is seeking to create more such soldiers with these abilities. So the Lazarus family has become a target for their various schemes.
This book was a fun read as I was waiting to see how the uptight Griffin would fall in love! He is so meticulous about maintaining the balance pertaining to his sin-Greed, that he literally plans his activities and actions around this. But he has a serious reason for doing so. An incident in the past has affected him greatly, and even his family doesn't know much about what happened to him.
Lilo is the complete opposite of him. She is bubbly, driven to report the truth and has little to no filter(I loved the first meeting between Lilo and Griffin, it was so hilarious!). Her past relationships have left her scarred and she has some issues with people deciding things for her, but she is an amazing and loyal friend.
I loved watching Lilo and Griffin interact with each other! The chemistry between them was off the charts from the get-go! The Lazarus family was a favourite as always. I really love Mary and Flint, since they are amazing parents to the siblings! They just know how to be there for their kids when needed.
"Okay. Good." He cleared his throat again and avoided Griffin's gaze. "Because, you know, I'm here if you need to talk. About anything, Girl stuff, you know. I mean, I was your age once"
Griffin stifled a smile. "I know."
XD
And I really hated Donnie! He is a grade-A asshole and I hated what he had done to Lilo, and how he still kept trying to control her!
All the characters in this series are well fleshed out(even the antagonists). They all have their own pasts and desires that motivate them. The plot moved quickly and I finished the book in one sitting. I'm really excited for the rest of the books in the series and I can't wait to see where the author takes the story and the characters!
P.S. I think the next book is Wyatt's and I'm very curious to know in which direction his story will go.
