I am sure you are not meant to sympathise or swoon over a serial killer but there is just something about Cole and how he justifies his actions that is compelling. For Mara, he is not only her lover and teacher but the only person to really understands her sensory issues. He has met his match in Mara and her love for him has made him feel alive. By the end of the book, he is not the cold hearted man we started with. I loved the analogy of Cole being like his house – stark and intimidating on the outside but surprisingly beautiful inside. “Everything is better when you share it with someone else.” Even though Cole plots and plans everything extensively, it is not as easy as they’d hoped especially when they have added complications to contend with. They both know Shaw wants to finish what he started and kill Mara. Dealing with Shaw is the ideal situation for both of them to express this side of their personalities. We find out what led Cole to becoming a killer for the first time, why he crossed the line into actually wanting to kill and his reasons for being a serial killer. I was also fascinated by the story about when he first met Shaw, what happened to turn him into a killer and why he became the Beast of the Bay.Ĭole saw the darkness in her from the beginning, realised she repressed all her anger and need for revenge so made it his mission to make her release and embrace it. Mara had a hard life at home, it continued after she ran away and she became very self destructive. I don’t know who I felt more sorry for as neither had great role models for parents and both suffered mental and physical abuse. We get their backstories and discover what they both went through as children. This is very obvious as their relationship develops and they learn more about each other.
The author does make you wonder who is changing who in their alliance because Mara is definitely affecting Cole and his life just like he is with her. She flourishes under his care both personally and professionally. They are both pleasure seekers and use their connection and attraction to explore this side of themselves. For the first time in her life she feels valued and cared for, even though she realises she is becoming totally dependent on him. He obsessive and needs to know where she is all the time, what she is doing. She sees he gets pleasure out of constantly watching her so she loves teasing him. She is very curious about him and enjoys his company as finds him interesting. Mara can see Cole is playing a game with her but she has struggled her whole life for independence so is determined to stay strong. “You threaten everything I thought I knew, and everything believed.” Cole is determined to persuade her that his way of dealing with Shaw is the best. He wants to tame Mara, make her submit to him and totally control her life until she breaks and reveals her true self.

He is a calculated and patient man, who knows what he wants and how to get it. Cole immediately moved her into his house to protect her and this is where the story continues.Ĭole has always be alone so he is selfish and everything he does is for himself. Mara attempted to tell the police that Shaw was the Beast of the Bay and assaulted her but no one believed her. When that didn’t work, he went after her friend Erin. Shaw kidnapped her to try and make Cole react and break his rules. Mara is a young and upcoming artist who Cole takes under his wing and becomes her mentor. They never went after the same person until Mara appeared at an art show one evening. In There Are No Saints we met Cole and Alastor, who are rival artists and serial killers working in San Francisco. A psychological thriller which looks at morals and the need for justice as the characters battle for revenge. This is a dark and steamy serial killer romance about Mara Eldritch, Cole Blackwell and his nemesis Alastor Shaw.
You must read There Are No Saints first but that’s no hardship because it’s an excellent book. There Is No Devil by Sophie Lark is book two and the conclusion to the Sinners Duet.
