The final book in The Original Sinners Series – The Red Years.

There’s punishment-and then there’s vengeance.

Nora Sutherlin is being held, bound and naked. Under different circumstances, she would enjoy the situation immensely, but her captor isn’t interested in play. Or pity.

As the reality of her impending peril unfolds, Nora becomes Scheherazade, buying each hour of her life with stories-sensual tales of Søren, Kingsley and Wesley, each of whom has tempted and tested and tortured her in his own way. This, Nora realizes, is her life: nothing so simple, so vanilla, as a mere love triangle for her. It’s a knot in a silken cord, a tangled mass of longings of the body and the heart and the mind. And it may unravel at any moment.

But in Nora’s world, no one is ever truly powerless-a cadre of her friends, protectors and lovers stands ready to do anything to save her, even when the only certainty seems to be sacrifice and heartbreak….

Wow! I am speechless. Damn, that was epic. I don’t know if reading these books back to back was the smartest thing to do. I do have a life to live, but these characters have invaded it. I’m addicted to this series.  If I’m not reading I’m listening to it. I’m a glutton for the morsels of information constantly being sprinkled throughout this series. I’m positive I’m witnessing real lives unfold. This is madness!!!! These are the types of characters that stay with a reader forever. I was terrified to read this one because I read reviews and I knew something terrible would happen.  I even attempted to read other books in an attempt to forget about this one. LOL, the withdrawals were no joke. So I had to bring out my inner Nora and face my fears. It was worth it. Yes, I am freaking pissed at Soren! Nora went through so much in this book and it appears she’s going to go through so much more in the next.  Nora is one of the strongest female heroines I’ve ever read, I have faith in her. She’ll get her HEA. Nonetheless, I’m panicking. This is a disaster… Where is the next book?!
