Publisher's summary

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….

The Lark Notes:
I have always been fascinated by true crime, as well as by villains and anti-heroes. A serial killer is, of course, the ultimate anti-hero—the baddest of the bad boys. Redeeming a character who starts so evil was a challenge that inspired me to entirely new heights and entirely new depths. Come on this darkly sensual and utterly brain-bending ride with me! — Sophie

There Are No Saints is the first audiobook in the Sinners Duet. Listeners be warned: this audiobook contains extremely dark themes that might be triggering to some. This is a steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness.

Such a great book!

I loved this book! Such a good read and the 🌶🌶 scenes were great!!! 10/10 recommend

There Are No Saints

My favorite movie is Silence Of The Lambs. I love the strange tension and attraction between Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter. So, a serial killer romance is right up my alley.

I really loved the concept of this story. It's dark and sexy and just a great time.

Strong start, weak finish

The beginning of the book was really creepy and well developed. The ml was interesting and terrifying. The second half was just silly and over the top. It jumped the shark when they made the sociopath change because “oh she’s different”. Absolutely ridiculous. FL is an absolute open book that gets described as closed off and traumatised. Girl where. It could have been so good, but sadly nope. Narrators had lovely voices.

Loved this so hard

Such a good book, it's definitely got darker themes but I didn't feel triggered or overwhelmed by them at all and my childhood had similarities to Mara's. I loved the characters and how they grew as individuals in different ways the longer they spent time together.

Dark and Twisted? Yes, Please!

I was absolutely captivated by the story of Mara and Cole. It's a dark one, no doubt. Nonetheless, I love how their brokenness brought them together, despite an unconventional start 😅 Plot and spice were lovely!

Amazing

This combined both types of book that I love to read it was simply amazing from dark Romance to the darker side of serial killers loved this book

Very Spicy!

The story was good...a little predictable at times but still good! I do love the aspects of these characters bringing a sense of normalcy to those that have sensory issues or trouble regulating and identifying emotions. Almost makes me wonder if the 2 main characters are on the spectrum. The narrators are not my cup of tea. but I will be starting on the second book tomorrow as I really want to know how this ends!

Cringe

This one just didn’t do it for me - I love a good dark romance, this wasn’t it

Umm.. I don't know

I don't know how to feel about this book. I'm annoyed that it picked up at the very end, and now I have to listen to the second book to see how it plays out, but I'm not really interested to know.

I'm unsure if real dark romances have ruined me (nothing like Haunting Adeline), but this was very mild if it's considered a dark romance.

Cole is basically the guy from the show You, just stalking her, and I feel like nothing really happens throughout the book.

The spice is decent; I feel like there are more graphic scenes about second/third base type stuff, but it could have been more.

Dark and kind of disturbed

I really enjoyed this book when I read it, and I really like the audio of it now! starving artist meets rich and famous artist. obsession to...love? serial killers, spice and all the in between. Cole is chaotic grey. Red flags everywhere. but Mara is not innocent either and together they are amazing.
