Synopsis
I loathe Alastor Shaw.
The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists.
In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground.
We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch.
Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game.
I’m fixated on her for a different reason…
She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. Want things I never wanted.
Only she can make me lose control.
I don’t know if I should protect her at all costs… or destroy her before she ruins me.
Mara knows I’m no saint. But she has no idea she’s dancing with the devil…

Review
In There Are No Saints, Cole, the male main character, is a serial killer.
I absolutely enjoyed the premise of this book. I loved seeing how he interacted in public and his different personalities and sort of getting into the mind of a serial killer. This may make me sound crazy, but I enjoyed it, and I don’t think I’m the only one. While I loved the character of Cole, Mara was a bit lacking for me. I found her a little annoying at times, and I felt like she put onto much of a tough girl front. I wish she had been a little bit more vulnerable in the store, that would’ve made me like her a lot more.
This book focused more on Cole and Mara’s relationship, there was certainly a story in this book, but I think the second book will focus more on the actual plot and the inner workings between Cole and Shaw. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. That being said, I love seeing Cole stalking Mara and how he got to know her more in his weird sort of way. I also really enjoyed that even though Cole started to care about Mara, his overall personality still didn’t change. I feel like often in books like these, with a main character who is an antihero, the main character does a complete 180 personality-wise. That didn’t happen here at all, and that was refreshing to see.
