Wow, this book gets really dark! I mean, it was pretty dark already but this one takes it further – the physical situation the characters are in, the psychological toll, the past with all the twisted secrets and motivations that come to light, and the Sins of the Mother bill that openly announces what up until then our characters have only suspected. This is not a temporary situation; their parents have no intention of giving up their get out of jail card. Arlanna and friends are forced to take desperate action as the alternative is untenable. Paxton’s gift, or curse and its awakening was interesting too.
Book 2 of 3, so the immediate threat gets resolved, but there are even bigger issues left for book 3. Gray especially just seems so lost at the end. So much heartbreak, pain and betrayal! This is building to a HUGE explosive ending
All of the characters are back in this second book in the series s Arlanna and her friends try to find a way to escape the prison while her friends keep her safe. Now not only does she have Gray/Rafe the forbidden werewolf as a boyfriend and protector in prison but her long lost Prince Paxton is also. Cass, Charlotte, Nurse Jen, Sloan and even Arlanna’s father help the escape plan. Such a good story

This was an excellent book even more so than the first installment. The social commentary the author makes is strong and righteous. The strength of the story is bolstered by the believable and poignant characters as well as her outstanding world building which is complex and thorough. I can’t wait to see what happens in the finale.
The story now gets deeper into what’s happening and plans for getting out of the prison are getting closer. Of course, this is no simple jail break. There’s a lot our characters need to finish their plans and carry them out before it’s too late. Very fun read and well worth the time!
This book was simply amazing! I thought the first one was great and this picks up right where it left off, and now Prince Paxton is part of the ‘crew.’ Arly, Gray, Charlotte, and Cass are joined by Pax to try and use their extraordinary powers to free the prisoners that are imprisoned to pay for their parents’ sins. The ‘Father’ bill has them serving time, and now the ‘Mother’ bill goes farther as wanting to tattoo the crime on the child. This pushes the group into taking the actions necessary to keep all this ridiculousness from actually happening. Emotions are exposed, a little bit of romance and lots of action keep the reader on edge in this well-told tale that will appeal to all genres regardless of your favorite. Likable characters standing up for what is right…twists and turns that keep you swiping the pages on your Kindle. The first book was great, this one was BETTER, I can hardly wait to read the third, and just so you know, the first book and this book both end in cliffhangers! I received an ARC of this book and am delighted to share my opinion of this book with you!

Whilst book one has left us with questions and book two has given us answers for all of those questions. We find out why they have been separated all of their lives. The guys take things to another level as they try to save everyone from a new bill which would force them all to have a tattoo of their parents’ sins placed on them. They are learning how to use their powers without giving the secret away. And the story has more than just this secret. There are surprises for you and the book ends on a cliffhanger dada dada……..

Magic and love in a new adventure in a prison. Her unique and diverse characters always become so important to me.
I loved the continuation of the Sinfully Sacrificed series! So many twists and turns in Sins of the Mother had me furiously flipping through the pages. The main characters from the first book return as the second book picks up right where the first left off. Arlanna, Gray, Charlotte, Cassia, and now Prince Paxton are working furiously to get out as quickly as possible, especially with the new outrageous bill that was just passed. I can’t wait to see what happens and continue the series in book 3!
As if being imprisoned for her father’s crimes was not enough, the new law seeks to have the sins of the parents forever inscribed on their bodies.
This is book two of the series. The book works fairly well as a standalone, but I recommend reading them in order to get the full effect.
This is a paranormal romance with a dystopian prison setting. The story is well written and easy to read, but comes with a rather complex plot that is full of twists, turns and revelations. The characters are also well done with unique personalities and quirks, both good and bad. Like the first book, I was drawn in early and had a hard time putting it down. We do get some answers in this book as well as some new questions. Overall, a very enjoyable read and I am looking forward to the next book.
Highly recommended.

OMG this is a fantabulous second book! Carrying on from book one a whole host of questions are answered and we find out why Arlanna and Paxton have been separated their whole lives! Well written with a unique and exciting storyline and some great characters, I just could not put this down! I cannot wait for book 3!
An intriguing storyline set in the paranormal world, I was entranced from the beginning. The whole premise of this story was laced with intrigue and it was palpable throughout the story. The characters are ripe with subtle little details that were played upon by the author. The reveals added to the drama and tension and only made the story better. Great storytelling.

Wow book 2 is fan-freaking-tastic! There is such a great story here! There is a mild cliff hanger as there is another book this book kept me on the edge 9f my seat turning the page to see what happens! Excited for book 3
This book picks up right where book 1 ends. The prison is still volatile, Arlanna’s still hated but recognizes her purpose, she and her band have one heck of a fight ahead of them. I got a lot of questions answered but, sure as heck have a few more added. Great adventure, enthralling excitement and a fresh, unique story that keeps me guessing.

I loved the arc that this story took now that Paxton has joined our lovely group in prison. Poor Arlanna is still being abused horribly, in fact if anything it is getting worse and Gray, Cas and Charlotte cannot be with her all the time and her tormentors pick their times very well. Charlotte knows that Paxton has a role to play in her plan to have the Sins of the Father bill overturned and all the innocents in prison released. Paxton and Arlanna have a past, one that Paxton remembers clearly but for some reason Arlanna doesn’t. Gray and Arlanna’s relationship is as strong as ever and now that Paxton is added to the mix things start getting interesting. The characters are so charismatic and the story kept me enthralled from start to finish.

Somehow this book is better than the previous one. More action. More tears. More laughter. We get more insight into the characters and i really feel they’re fleshed out individuals.

This author is such an excellent writer that, despite the subject matter that would have turned me away, I knew this would be a really good book. Book 1 put forth the concept of the punishment for parents’ sins/crimes being put on their children rather than the parents serving any prison time. That can fill most people with indignation at the injustice of it all. But now a new Bill is being considered to have the parents’ crimes branded onto the child’s skin and their magic removed forever. This horrible possibility spurs the prisoners to action.
Arlanna and her crew know that they are running out of time and must escape now or have their skin burned with the details of their parents’ crimes. Prince Paxton joins Arlanna, Gray, Charlotte, Cassia, and Paxton as they try to prepare for an escape to save the prisoners. With magical power rekindling, they just might have a chance now!
The story line will keep the reader on edge, the characters are well done with emotions clearly revealed so that the reader can share on that level and stay closely involved. It’s not just a matter of keeping your head down and out of trouble in prison. Arlanna wants out, and she’s not going to stop until every prisoner has been freed, no matter what it takes. Grab your copy and be pulled into this exciting story.
