Review - Vicious (Sinners of Saint #1) by L.J. Shen

30839185

Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true. 
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares. 
He is a brilliant lawyer. 
A skilled criminal. 
A beautiful liar. 
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover. 
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him. 

Vicious

She is a starving artist. 
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. 
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. 
She paid the price. 
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate. 
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t. 
So she hates me. Big fucking deal. 
She better get used to me.

From the moment when Vicious  showed up on my FB several times (Thanks for Becca) I knew it was a sign and I grabbed it immediately. 

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ.
I just want to mention that this is a standalone novel. Yes, it is a part of the Sinners of Saint, but that is a series of standalone novels.Each book is a complete story.

“Why cherry blossoms?” I asked .... 


“Because it’s beautiful and…I don’t know, the blooms are gone so fast.”


It was my first book from LJ Shen.
I want more and more. More Trent, more Dean, more Jaime
All THE FOUR HOTHOLES. The more the better.

This is one of those stories that really CANNOT put down from the first page. You just desperately needed to keep reading. I was glued to the page. 

The story telling was perfect. LJ Shen writing style is so readable. 

This is Emilia and Baron - aka Vicious - book and told from their POVs.
It's the story of a normal girl whose entire world is turned upside down when She moved to Todos Santos, a small town, where met this BEAUTIFUL JERK. Vicious makes Emilia’s life a living hell during the senior year. Every single day is a new opportunity to make her life miserable. But on the other side, Emilia is an untouchable for everyone else - almost. 

He was toxic, poison, and he was going to kill everything beautiful in my life if I let him. He was the storm to my cherry blossoms.” 


He is a brilliant lawyer. 

A skilled criminal. 

A beautiful liar. 

A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.

Timeline: All Saints High senior year in Todos Santos and Present days (10 years later) in New York city. 




Emotional roller-coaster: ✔️  
Damaged hero:  ✔️  
Strong heroine:  ✔️  
Love/Hate Relationship:  ✔️  


It was a mix of crazy intense hate and love, a total emotional roller-coaster.




"... love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. 
The passion is the same. The pain is the same."

Needless to say ....  I have a crush on Vicious. #oneclick
