Nora has found a new life in New Orleans. This time ‘after Soren’ is full of promises for the future. Kingsley and Juliette are expanding their family, and Nora couldn’t be happier in her role as Aunt Nora. While planning for the newest arrival to the Edge family, Nora can’t help but reminisce on the life she has led with Soren and Kingsley. So many events have led them to this place in life.
When a private detective show up with questions about a murder, Nora finds herself inadvertently drawn into this chaos. With questions that lack answers, Nora can’t help but feel pulled to the mystery that followed her via business card. Nora and the detective scour the streets of New Orleans to uncover the mystery surrounding a priest’s death. Vampires, Witches, and dungeons will lead Nora on a journey that will delve into the depths of her own delicate heart.
The Priest is the latest book in the Original Sinner series. As the sequel to The Queen – The Priest pulled me back into the lives of my favorite Sinners. Kingsley, Nora, and Soren all play a part in this saga. Each adding a layer to the journey that Nora finds herself embarking upon. While the novel is a standalone, I cannot stress enough how important reading the rest of the series can be. So many nuances are involved in the past books between Nora, Soren, Kingsley, and Juliette.
While the book is titled The Priest, our beautiful Soren is NOT the Priest that is referred to in the title. Nora’s adventures will involve a Priest, a mystery, and a self-reflection that will change how this Sinners head into the future. Simply put……I loved this book!! I can never get enough of Soren, Nora and Kingsley!!
In these uncertain times it was indeed a great bonus for this book to be released early.
As with all the books in this series this latest edition was a runaway success with me. Having now moved to The Big Easy it was awesome to catch up with our favourite characters. This tale has many twists and turns and we are once again left guessing where Nora and Soren will end up.
This book is expertly written and is a full captivating novel. Although the 9th book in the series there is no loss of pace and the back story remains believable whilst keeping true to the original characters.
I think I love Soren even more than ever and Nora is just such an engaging character to spend time with.
Brilliant addition to The Original Sinners.
This. Book. Was. Amazing. ……All. The. Feels.
Anyone living in a shoe box might not have heard of this series that is just Phenomenal…. I loved it.
It makes every kind of love just feel possible. Father Ike commits suicide and police ask Cyrus to quietly question around. Nora’s card was found in the Priests pocket.
So from the last book Soren had been excommunicated by the Jesuits for a year for having a child with a married woman. In the start of this book he is still missing. Cyrus uses Nora to investigate Father Ike’s disturbing suicide.
From the book Cy vs Nora…
Just…I’m supposed to have a female friend. A woman in my life who I’m not related to who I can confide in and be friendly with. Paulina said today you might be a good candidate for the job.”(Cyrus)
“Me? Why me?” (Nora)
“Throw me in the deep end, I guess.” (Cyrus)
“And I’m the deep end?” (Nora)
“You are definitely not the kiddie pool, lady.”(Cyrus)
Cyrus and Nora begin their relationship on the straight and narrow since he is pledged to Paulina. Soren however comes back and takes some of Nora’s focus.
“Eleanor, you really should know better by now,” he said. “Never flirt with a sadist in a well-stocked dungeon.”(Soren)
This book is so good.
What did I like? Kingsley…Juliette…Nora….Soren…gangs all here. There is a sadness that hovers the book though, like Nora won’t find a HEA. It rips out your insides. 61% in I want to hurt Soren. Ugh imagine a BDSM scene that hurts you and magnify it by ten. This writer is the perfect sadist.
Would I buy or recommend? I’m typing into Amazon on my other hand……I want this on my shelf. I love this whole series. It kills you with feels you can die from. This is one series you just don’t forget. Soren and Nora are written in the stars.
Thoughts for the author? Sadistic pleasure anyone? I’m fried. Paulina and Cyrus were perfect. Catholic Church will always be up in arms….things happen. Unruly fetishes and Catholic priests that put themselves down before harm….
Amen. Five amazing stars.
Book F*#$#@ing 9 in this series! If you follow me and my reviews, you know my ETERNAL love for Tiffany Reisz. I like many readers ASSumed that after she wrote The End of The Queen, that we would get the occasional novellas and/or Christmas stories of our beloved characters from the OS (Original Sinners for you newbies). Then one day scrolling through IG and FB I see this author dropped a bomb in the form of The Priest to be released in April. This author gave it to us two weeks early due to the upheaval that is Corona Virus.
So here I am thinking, well what can this author deliver that she hasn’t done in her previous books? Will be stilted, boring, is Søren going to join the circus? None of the above! And true to Tiffany Reisz fashion, the mind fuck will always be there.
Ms. Reisz introduces us to a brand new character, Cyrus Tremont, former cop turned PI and who is his likely sidekick, none other that our favorite Domme, Nora Sutherlin. Our favorite sadistic Priest, Soren, well he took a month long journey after being suspended by the priesthood. King and Juliette well they are awaiting their second baby and true to King’s paranoia, on lock down. When the charismatic PI comes knocking on King’s door looking for the infamous Nora.
So many questions as to why a priest, who killed himself would have Nora’s old business card and hers is the last number he calls before he kills himself. Oh let’s not forget the witch, Mercedes that causes a lot of tension as well. Is she a good witch or a bad witch? That my friends I will let you determine for yourself.
So many unexpected twists (hello this is TR we’re talking about!). A lot of surprising moments that you will NOT expect. Hot sexy times, but damn it, the water works will come into play while reading. Of course, towards the end, the author will still keep you wondering “will there be a 10th book?” I say yes!
If you are home because of this pandemic and need an escape from reality, and have read the other 8 books in this series, do yourself a favor, READ. THIS. BOOK! For those new to Tiffany Reisz, yeah, you all need to start with The Gift, that will be your introduction, from there go read The Siren.
I love this series and I love this author.
