Sin & Chocolate by K.F. BreeneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Demi Gods and Ghost Whisperers
I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I’ve read a few KF Breene books before and have enjoyed them, so thought I’d give this one a punt. It’s a bit different to what I was expecting, but very enjoyable.
Alexis is magical, but it’s in useless field, talking to ghosts doesn’t really pay the bills, especially if you have no contacts or training. She’s worked a series of dead end jobs in the Dual-Society Zones, where both magic and non-magic alike can live and work. She is also raising two teenagers her mother found on the streets, and brought home. Her mother died a few years ago and she’s struggling to keep enough food in the house to keep them all alive.
Kieran is a demi-god. His father is a son of Poseidon and Kieran has inherited his father’s power. He nearly runs her down in his car and he is stunned by her less than deferential attitude. He decides to follow her and soon becomes both captivated and intrigued, especially when she seems to have so much more power than she should have.
This book is a battle between someone trying to do the right thing the hard way and someone who has enough power to run right over anyone he chooses to. It’s interesting watching them both trying to get what they want whilst holding onto their sense of self.
I loved the two teenagers in this book. Daisy and the very sick Mordecai are both gems of characters. Their banter and belligerence conjures up every teenager on the planet, whilst at the same time retaining their unique individuality.
The book is really well written and the plot tugs you along nicely. I’ve been left with lots of questions to be answered, but that is the purpose of the first book in the series, to intrigue you enough to read the next book. That has succeeded in my case.
