Lake Of Sins: Secrets In Blood Kindle Edition

by L. S. O'Dea (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 182 ratings
The disturbing and yet exciting sequel to Lake of Sins: Escape.

Having discovered the horrible fate of her kind, Trinity has left her family behind and is fleeing from the Almightys. Her friends have promised to help her, but they don’t know that her blood holds a secret that some in power want revealed and others want destroyed.

Hugh Truent, an Almighty, learns that Trinity is a product of the mating of two different classes which is impossible, but if it’s true, it’s the discovery of a lifetime. He must catch her before she is destroyed, but someone will stop at nothing to ensure he fails, putting his life and the lives of those he loves in danger.

Review

5 STAR REVIEW -- Lake Of Sins: Secrets In Blood by L.S. O'Dea is the second book in an exciting and action packed young adult fantasy series. The characters are fantastically written and are fun to get to know. The world is gorgeous and interesting, the setting described beautifully, and the adventure throughout the landscape is breathtaking. The author did a nice job making the story and the setting work together to create a book that readers will have a hard time putting down. -- Janelle Fila for Readers' Favorite

L. S. O’Dea sees things a bit differently than most people. This is probably a biproduct of being the youngest of seven children in a time when TV was only worth watching in the evenings or Saturday mornings and there were no computers. Back then, kids had to amuse themselves and being five years younger than her closest sibling she was often the unwilling entertainment.

One day, before she started kindergarten, she really wanted to learn how to spell her name (Linda Sue). Her mother was busy so her brothers were told to help their baby sister. When they were done, she raced into the kitchen to show her mother what she’d learned. She stood tall and recited the letters of her name. L-E-M-O-N H-E-A-D.

To this day, she still receives a box of Lemonhead candy every year for Christmas.

    I love this series! It’s a bit different than others I’ve read. There are different classes of people in this world, and the Almightys are at the top, living lavishly, and relying on the lower classes to serve them, and take care of all their wants and needs, right down to the very source of the foods they eat (which is pretty unusual). Trinity, a “Producer” has escaped to the forest, hoping to find out what has happened to her siblings and others after they were taken away. Befriended and protected by Gaar and Mira, two different animal like species, she and her protectors set out to the “Finishing”, “Tracker” and “Handler” camps, where Trinity’s eyes are opened when she sees what’s going on in each of the camps. Meanwhile, “guards” belonging to the Almightys are searching for Trinity, and plotting evil against her and her parents. You’ll just have to read this book to discover all the twists and turns in it!

    This fantasy adventure is about different races of beings inhabiting the earth and the caste system that evolved. You'll root for the main characters to "free the meat" and change how the "Almighty's" (the master race) treat everyone else. Lots of bloodshed involved.

    This sequel to Lake of Sins is a fast paced action filled journey that will keep you turning the pages and staying up late as you tell yourself only one more page one more chapter. Trinity by leaving her camp has set in motion events that will shift the power of the classes, change the life of many and cause some to lose everything. Trinity sets out with Gar and Mira to save the other young Producers and the remaining Trackers. The Almightys need to stop them and will do whatever it takes to save their world even turn on each other.

    An even better read than Escape. There is more action, sometimes gory action. The transition from one characters point of view to another is one of the best I've read. It was a great way of experiencing things that would effect Trinity, instead of her just being told. I hope there's more to come from the Lake of Sins.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed Sequel
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015
    Format: Kindle
    This was, as the previous book, quite a ride. As before, I loved many things:

    – Trinity, our main character is quite likeable. She is honourable, and as Mirra keeps telling her, has too many friends. She keeps wanting to help all creatures, even under the most dangerous circumstances, but she is very mature about it most of the times and therefore tries to think things through, not going into the situations blindly, so her instinct of self-preservation remains most of the time. When she does attempt to rush things, she always seems to have someone around to help her through. So she is innately good and inspires others to be so as well, even during situations where they would naturally act in a different and even opposed manner.

    – The different species or classes are something utterly new and remarkable to me in the genre. They never cease to amaze me. I would like to stress out the relationship of Mirra and Gaar; it is truly fascinating. The perfect balance between rational and animalistic features of most of the classes is something that keeps me anchored to Trinity’s world.

    – There is a plethora of characters, but they all have their own voice and so it is very easy to follow who is who.

    – The world development is superb. I could clearly picture everything and it made sense, though it’s all fantasy. The scenery where action took place ranged from beautiful to scary to disgusting, amongst others, but always able to make you feel like you are there and was, at times, quite overwhelming.

    – The narrative is action packed and large sections of it are page turners. You just cannot stop until you know what comes next. On the other hand, there are bits of humour which made me even laugh out loud on a couple of occasions.

    – It is a very thought-provoking book. It subtly approaches subjects like vegetarianism (What meat do you eat? Do you know how it is treated before it gets to your plate?) and, less subtly, ones like the struggle between classes, with some thinking they are above others (Almightys view all other classes as their serves and below them in all aspects).

    This author has a unique writing style. The book is narrated in the third person, but each chapter focuses on one individual most of the times. Because of that, when the author uses the pronoun he or she, she is actually referring to the character the chapter focuses on most of the times, which can get confusing because it is not always done and because the last person referred is very often not that character. But it really is just a matter of getting used to it.
    However, it also means that we don’t really get to know much of what is going on in the minds of those ‘secondary’ characters, which I find a shame, since it would bring an additional dimension to the story, knowing what the others thought and felt about certain situations.

    There were a few things that bothered me throughout the book. Since the narrative did grip me, I didn’t take notes, so I will try to remember a few example (please go to https://anaslair.wordpress.com/2015/04/08/lake-of-sins-secrets-in-blood-lake-of-sins-2/ for full review with optional spoilers)

    Conclusion:

    I wish I could give this book 5 stars. But considering what I mentioned above, it is a solid 3.5 stars for me. I am rounding it up on GoodReads and Amazon solely because I enjoy this world a lot more than other books I rated 3.5 stars, but I did not enjoy it as much as the first one.

    Even so, please don’t be misled! It is still an awesome book that DOES deserve your undivided attention because, despite all the flaws, it is a pearl in the universe of dystopian fantasy out there. I can honestly say it is free of most clichés which riddle other books (I will ignore the love triangle thing because it has a minor presence in the story).

    At the end of the day, I am very happy I read it, and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

    Disclaimer: I would like to thank the author for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

    Trinity has discovered that the Producer adults have implanted tracking devices so helping her mother escape to the forest would not help. Trinity is continuing to search for the secret of where the missing children from the encampment are being held.

    Characterization & plotting are excellent.
