My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sins & Needles, the 1st book in Karina Halle’s The Artists Trilogy and it’s the first time I have ever read anything written by this author.
Gosh, why did I take so long to discover Karina Halle??
What a fantastic beginning to the series! A sexy, gritty, action-packed romance filled with the most unforgettable characters. Characters that you would never imagine liking!!!
A beautiful con artist, liar, manipulative, thief, pill popping on the run heroine!!!! Ellie Watt is all that but also so much more.
Used by her parents from an early age as bait in their grifting profession, she has experienced a lot of pain, both physical and psychologically most of her life. She has reached a time in her life where she wants to give it all up and have a normal life. Going back to her hometown might just be the answer.
Camden McQueen, tattooed and guitar playing ink artist and ex best friend of Ellie is the first person who recognizes Ellie when she’s back to her old home.
He has been in love with her since the first time he met her at school and was the only person who cared for him during his “Goth” and weird days!! He’s never forgotten her!
I hate you, Ellie Watt," he whispered, lips coming closer to mine, "because I still love you after all these years.
You cannot help liking Camden. He’s this lovely and beautiful person, inside and out and as we see another side of Ellie, you just have to fall in love with her.
The character development is fantastic. These are not perfect people…they are damaged, scarred, battling the demons in their lives and that’s what makes them so real and engaging.
The chemistry between Ellie & Camden
It’s sparkling, crackling and sizzling!!!
I loved the writing style.
Great storyline filled with suspense and mystery that just keeps you turning page after page.
Ends with a cliffhanger….which will be revealed in book #2, Shooting Stars. I am so looking forward to reading more about these characters.
