The Sinner (Angels and Demons Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Emma Scott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,963 ratings
“I can’t possibly describe how much this journey impacted me. This book is the one that will ruin you for all others. I’ll never forget it.” --Harloe Rae, USA Today Bestselling author of Loner

"This is the book you must read this year. It was so much more than I anticipated and everything I could not have expected."--LB Dunbar, bestselling author of Love in Due Time

Shy, introverted Lucy Dennings lives a quiet little life in New York City, working for a nonprofit and keeping to herself. Every afternoon, she goes home to her empty apartment and Edgar, her houseplant, and every night, she loses herself in the pages of her beloved romance novels. Her lonely heart seeks solace in tales of passionate, enduring, all-consuming love, but more and more, Lucy feels she's not just reading for pleasure but searching for a lost piece of herself in the pages. As if she once touched something beautiful but it's been ripped away.

Until one day Lucy discovers a dead body in the alley behind her apartment. Even if it's too late, her first instinct is to help.

Her second is to run.

Because the dead body isn't so very dead, and suddenly, her little world isn't so little but one in which dreams feel like memories, "inner demons" actually lurk in dark alleys, and a beautiful creature of darkness with amber eyes and wings like night might hold the key to what her heart has been aching for...if she doesn't fall down the path of eternal damnation first.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Emma Scott, comes an emotional paranormal love story of passion, sacrifice, and the soul-deep love of a lifetime...more than one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully, Sad Love Story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Lucy and Casziel have become two of my favorite characters this year! Emma Scott's The Sinner is not a new book, but she is a new to me Author, and her words are SUBLIME.

    Lucy Dennings is a woman lost in her own head, one like many of us that goes to work, comes home and spends the rest of the evening lost in a Romance novel or two because she believes that is the best place for her to be. She doesn't have many friends, and she recently lost her father, and she is sad all the time when she's not lost in her books.

    On Lucy's way home one day home she runs across what she assumes is a dead body, only to find that Casziel is not dead. And suddenly Casziel is trying to explain to her how he got there, and exactly what he wants with her.

    Casziel is a demon who lost Lucy many, many years ago and his whole plan is to make Lucy fall in love with someone else again so he doesn't have to think of her again. Cas is the perfect grumpy guy, Lucy has all these questions as anyone would for this guy that just randomly showed up, but he hates answering her questions and that just makes her even grumpier.

    Lucy has the perfect suggestion, Cas can pretend to be in love with her and it will make this guy (his name is Guy 🙄!) in her office fall in love with her. She just knows he's the one for her, even though he's spent months? years? ignoring her. Cas is immediately jealous of this situation, but still working hard to make it perfect for Lucy, while in the meantime he only has 7 more days to be there and get this all done.

    I loved the side story of why Cas is trying to make Lucy forget him, why she's remembered him through all these lifetimes, and who these little demons are that are there to make her feel bad about herself on the daily. The battle Cas is waging for Lucy is heartbreaking, and this is one of the few books this year that made me cry throughout the story.

    Emma Scott's writing is perfection, there is so much grief she touches on with the death of Lucy's dad, and trying to salvage Lucy and Cas's relationship, I was sure that this would not have an HEA, but I was so surprised by the beautiful ending and how everyone got exactly what they needed AND deserved!

    If you like a beautifully sad love story, with a sublime ending then Emma Scott has written a gorgeous story just for you in The Sinner. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A love story that transcends time...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    If you have followed my reviews for a while then you'll now that Emma Scott is one of my fav authors and I adore most of her books. The Sinner was no exception to that. Another beautiful story about love that never ends, grief, forgiveness and redemption.

    Tropes:
    – paranormal (demons/angels)
    – forbidden
    – sunshine / grumpy
    – fake dating
    – second chance with a twist
    – mutual pining

    Lucy Dennings (h):
    Shy. Introverted. Sweet.

    Lucy is living a very quiet and boring life. She is struggling with the death of her father and other areas of her life and the only comfort she has are her romance books. Until one day she finds a dead body behind her apartment.. or maybe he's not so dead after all. 😈

    Usually, Lucy is not a heroine I find myself drawning to, cause she's so sweet, can come across as naive and has quite some demons and I'm struggling enough in real life and don't need other people struggling that much when reading too okay 😤🤚 but Lucy was such a relable character. First of all she loves reading romance books how can I not like her? She's going to be my new bestie 💫

    Lucy works at a nonprofit organization, but is not very outspoken about her ideas to save the world, because she has quite some demons that are constantly talking down to her and trying to tear her apart. I liked that Emma used these fantasy elements (demons) and made them graspable, because every person has these inner demons/voices that are not there and trying bring you down.

    I enjoyed reading about Lucy's character development and how much she learned about herself throughout this whole novel and got more confident.

    Casziel Abisare:
    Angry. Sarcastic. Lonely.

    I liked Lucy, but what made the book for me was Casziel. There is just something about the way Emma writes the Heroes that make me soft 🥺 they could all be tough looking guys with the biggest resting bitch face and I just know that deep down they are the teddy bears with the biggest hearts. But not only has Casziel that, he also has quite a .... wingspan. 😌 💅

    Casziel has my heart. He comes across as a pissed off demon who hates everything, but the truth is that he is sad and lonely. He's crashing into Lucy's life asking her to help him with redemption for his past sins. But nothing is like it seems.

    What surprised me is that even tho for the most part I still consider Caziel a teddy bear and put him under my "soft-boi" shelf for a reason, he is still rough around the edges and for a Emma Scott Hero, I would almost consider him an anti-hero.

    Romance:
    What I love most is when there is unrequired love from the Hero's side and The Sinner had that. Casziel told Lucy that he is on this side, because he is in need of her help to redeem himself, but with each chapter more of their story is unfolding. Lucy and Cas' story is tragically beautiful. A love that shouldn't be, but is inevitable.

    Casziel pining for Lucy was a shot to my heart every time. It hurts so good. He pines for her and she pines for him too, but he doesn't know it. Lucy at the beginning of the book is actually crushing on her co-worker Guy. As part of Casziel's redemption plan it is to help Lucy find happiness so Cas and Lucy are starting to fake-date to get Gus interest. The angst of it... it was delicious. 🥰

    Lucy and Casziel together in the present were beautiful, I wished that we would have seen a little more about their past and how they fell in love with each other. I love the concept of being soulmates in every life and would have love to see more of why Casziel fell in love with Lucy at the beginning.

    Conclusion:
    I don't read that many paranormal romances, so for me it was a very unique story and I loved the setting of it. Loved the main characters and side characters and can't wait to read Ambri's story when it comes out. If y'all like the tropes mentioned above, The Sinner is definitely worth a try. 💫

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Was not expecting that from this book.

    Lily is just like so many of us, quiet and shy but only because those little nagging voices in her head won't leave her alone to be more than that. She'd rather be alone and read about love then put herself out there and make a fool of herself.

    Those voices though aren't in her head, they are her demons working to bring her down.

    Shes always been alone but she wants to have a great love like her heroines but there's just something missing.

    After meeting Cas she starts to suspect there's a reason she's alone. That's because she has been searching for her love the whole time. She just hasn't been there till now.

    Their love has lasted through the ages and lily's different lives. This was beautifully written and god can you feel the love and the despair they both go to. Lily wants to have her love back and cas just wants her to let him go so she can be happy.

    Their redemption at the end was stunning and definitely brought a tear to my eye.

    I’ve read a few books recently that try to convey a deep emotional connection between the main characters but fall flat. This book - absolutely not one of them. The Sinner grabbed hold of me on the first page and hasn’t let go yet.

    Cas and Lucy’s love story is a through-the-ages story and a story of the individuals finding themselves again - not just each other. It’s a story about demons - literal and inner. The danger feels real. The losses and wins feel real. The characters and relationships are ones you can imagine encountering in reality. I want more from this world.
