I have read all of the Original Sinners books and every one has been sensational.
This book is Nora's story. It is written now but is told through her "story time" with Nico, Kingsley's son. Nora explains her relationship's with her Father and Mother as well as how she met Soren, then Kingsley and how their relationship developed. It is an emotional story that will have you feeling happy, sad, angry and everything else in-between. You will laugh and you will cry. Break out the tissues.
I can't wait until "The King" comes out. Kingsley is absolutely crude and outrageous, and told from Nora's point of view should certainly be a scream (pun intended).
If you haven't read any of Tiffany's books yet, do yourself a favour and start with The Siren, then follow the series through, you will not be disappointed.

The story starts with Kingsley visiting Grace and Søren's son and he tells of the time when he and Søren reunited after 11 years apart. After leaving St Ignatius Kingsley joins the French Foreign Legion and Søren takes the path to become a Jesuit priest. Kingsley is at his unhappiest and he spends his time drinking, using drugs and having as much sex as he possibly can.
One evening Kingsley returns home to hear the piano playing, on further investigation he sees his old friend Søren playing. He is shocked to see him after all this time and wearing his clerics. Søren tells Kingsley that he has found the women they always dreamed of whilst at St Ignatius but she is in trouble and needs his help...
Kingsley has also found the perfect building to build his BDSM club and battles the leader of a religious cult for its purchase. Thus the 8th Circle is born!
This has to be one of my favourite books in the whole of the Original Sinners series. Just when I thought I couldn't love Kingsley anymore, I absolutely loved him all over again. I love the verbal exchange between him and Søren, I laughed till I cried with this book. An absolute masterpiece from what is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. The attention to detail, the development of the characters, plot progression - it's all there. Some bits are repeated but then there are parts of this book where they cross over form other time lines in the other books but I could never get bored of the Søren/Kingsley relationship. A definite good read!!

Soren's God complex in this one peed me off a little and I have to say, I began reading with a fear the "White Years" might not provide any new information but would merely be regurgitations of stuff we learned about in the "Red Years". In this book, however I actually began to see a new side to Elle/Nora while reading about what an utter pig her father was. A lot about her has begun to make sense.
This series is so, so heavy on the history that you do begin to wonder which bit of which part of their lives you've read in which book. It all gets tangled up. I noticed a continuity issue or two and forgave them because this is such a long series. I’m really sticking with these books because I want to know how it ends, but I skipped some sections, I admit.
I rolled my eyes during some of the scenes, like where Elle is fooling around with another student at college. Yeah she did it, but I didn’t need the deets. Also, when she's with Nico… I didn’t care for the sex scenes in this book. I mostly enjoyed the tender moments Soren and his Eleanor shared, such as the funeral and the moment he finally tells her he loves her. Little bits like that were good but overall, I found this book slow and lacking the same expansive dynamics of the "Red Years". I guess I was lucky to find this series at a time when all the books were out and available to read one after the other. This is also proving to be a con though too – because the books are all beginning to feel very samey. The "White Years" seems to be taking readers down the path of "yes, you did interpret all this stuff correctly… but here it is just in case you wondered…"
I wonder who pushed for more books, the agent or publisher?

So, here I was in The White Years and going back in time to first meetings...some may think oh no, not a rerun of the past...but no, not exactly, here you get the depth as well as breadth of events, the minutiae of events and the ultimate cause and effect on each of their lives...but it seems to try to prepare and lead the reader to a tragedy...and at each twist and turn, the apparent reveal, I found myself saying no, not that, you can't...but writers can and do, they can reveal so you hate, they can reveal so you change your mind, they can reveal so you love and then dash you to the worst case scenario and leave you fearful of reading on and finding the truth.
That is precisely what Ms Reisz has done here. I have shed many tears through this story, tears for Eleanor/Elle/Nora, for Soren, for poor Wyatt and all the poor Wyatt's who end as he, for mothers and father figures. I also stood at a lake once as Nora does and found the scene very emotional for me and cathartic.
In summary, Tiffany Reisz has gone on developing her skills as a writer and in my opinion has to be amongst the best of this genre and those of relationships, no matter how different or obscure they may seem to us in our daily lives. The truth is real life is still stranger than fiction but in The Saint Ms Reisz is getting there.
Has to be 5 stars plus from me. I will read The King soon, but my emotions need a short break first.

5 stars!!
“A hymn began. Elle looked back to the door of the sanctuary, and saw the new priest. The dream ended. The spell was broken. Elle woke up.”
This series is my all-time favourite series ever; I just cannot get enough of the forbidden it seems. Every single book in this series has been a work of art and every single book has been an amazing 5 star read and this book is no different. What I will say though is that this book is my favourite so far.
The way this story unfolded was unique to Tiffany Reisz, I must admit I was a bit worried in the beginning and I am still wondering why Nora was where she was, but once I understood how this story was being told I settled in for Nora’s bed time story. This book is told in a flashback, Nora telling Kingsley’s son, Nico, how it all began. I snuggled down and readied myself for a story that I would never forget.
“Losing him, losing his love was my greatest fear. And he made me face it. I faced it, I survived it. And ultimately…Ultimately, that time on my own turned me into what Soren said I was all along.” ~ Nora
“What was that?” ~ Nico
“Dangerous.” ~ Nora
This book was incredibly emotional for me, I always knew that Soren’s past was intriguing and unsavoury but the more I learned about our Padre and how his relationship with Nora started and developed the more I fell in love with and respected Soren. While on the outside people only saw the 28 year old priest fall in love with the 15 year girl, Soren did nothing about it for many, many years. He nurtured Elle/Nora, he wanted her to have the opportunities to be a normal teenager, live a normal life and then when she had lived and was adult enough to make informed decisions, only then would Soren reconsider his stance with his “Little One.” He loved her unconditionally, he was her fiercest champion, he was her protector, he would die for her, he would break his vows for her, but only when the time was right and that took a long, long time. It is this extremely slow build that I felt made this love story all the more real, all the more tangible. My heart broke for these two many times.
“I’m working my ass off in the sanctuary scrubbing two hundred years of farts off the pews and you’re sitting in your seventy-degree office drinking tea and writing homilies. It’s hot as Satan’s balls in there, and I’m sweating like a whore in church.”
So many gaps in the Red Years are filled in; to see how Nora and Soren began was a gift and personally I felt made their relationship all the more profound. To see the rebellious teenager that Nora was, was a treat and who would have thought that ultimately this became the beginning of the Soren, Nora and Kingsley Trifecta. I loved finding out about how the name “Nora Sutherlin” came about, it is these little snippets that are interspersed throughout the book that will have you ahhhhing, like the light bulb just went on and only makes you appreciate the Red Years all the more.
“faith is the assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.” - Hebrews
Nora’s beginnings were told in detail too; never having that feeling of being wanted or loved was hard for Elle/Nora to take and left their marks on her outlook on life. She always knew she was different but could never quite come to grips or see how they would fit into her life going forward. It was Soren’s guidance that made her realise that she was perfect as she was, not everybody’s normal is “normal,” what is “normal?”
“When you aren’t trying to look beautiful, you look beautiful. When you are trying to look beautiful, you are stunning.”
The humour in this book had me crying with laughter, Nora has always been a scream but it seems that she must have been born with the sassy attitude and quick wit. Never intimidated by “Blondie,” Nora always gave more than she got and it was this attitude that alerted Soren to the fact, that he may have just met his match. These two were destined to be together, no two people have ever been a better fit and while I wouldn’t want to be in Nora’s shoes at the hands of Soren, it was right for these two. They both wanted it, the both needed it, it centred them, it was just Soren and Nora and Nora and Soren.
“What is it?” ~ Nora
“Open it.” ~ Soren
“Like it?” ~ Soren
“Woof.” ~ Nora
“A dog collar?” ~ Nora
“A slave collar. You belong to me always…”
The last third of the trifecta is ever present, Kingsley, and I loved seeing the relationship that he and Soren have. The banter between these two also at times had me in stitches and you can already see how Nora was going to fit into their dynamic.
“Your French is improving. Now let’s work on your attitude.”
“King, you’re like the big brother I never had. And never wanted.”
All I can say is that this is another masterpiece from Tiffany Reisz, she continues to amaze me with every book she pens. Her writing style never fails to consume me and once I start I know that I am going to be checked out for quite some time. As usual the writing is flawless, spell binding and mesmerising and I don’t think I can ever get my fill of these characters. Nora still remains my favourite heroine, from the get go she imprinted herself on my heart and this book has only cemented her place. I truly loved this one.
“Yes, it hurt, but so did everything that mattered. Love hurt, life hurt, birth hurt, changing hurt, growing hurt. The dead didn’t hurt, only the living. She had never felt so alive.”

This book as always is brilliantly written to evoke such strong emotions and feelings that stay around your mind for ages.
