The main female character, Anna, Baz’s Mom, is briefly introduced to the reader in ‘Sinner’s Book 1'. Baz partly blames his Mom for the death of his wife and son.
In SINNER'S SALVATION, we get the ‘why’ of Anna Breznik. The author weaves a captivating story so the reader can understand and maybe even sympathize with the cold-blooded and cruel Anna. Is Anna as emotionless as depicted by those around her, including her son and nephew? The short answer is ‘yes’. The more accurate answer is Anna has many, many layers. After all, what self-respecting mother wouldn’t do anything to protect her family? As it turns out, Anna’s idea of family is anyone who needs protection. I like the way the author reflects the mother-son similarities in their need to be the protector for those they care about.
I think the author makes a statement regarding social injustice for those who are different or less fortunate. The extent of these injustices is driven home as the need for power and greed is revealed at some of the highest government levels. There are many officials across the globe who will go to any lengths to control or kill Anna, her family and those she protects. I appreciate that the story highlights the value of respecting people for their differences as much as their similarities, which is a constant challenge today. Evan and Anna’s budding romance embodies the sentiment that people from different backgrounds can learn to respect and trust each other. I love the way the main characters first meet face-to-face. Instead of a ‘meet cute’ it’s more of a ‘meet disaster’ - jives perfectly with the tone of this book.
This story is a fun ride of finding out more about Anna’s very eventful history, why she is such a monster, and finally her many redeeming qualities. A vampire like Anna deserves to have her happily ever after too. Lucky for the reader, Evan is just the man to make sure she gets what she deserves and needs.
Eight-hundred year old vampire matriarch, Anna Breznik is in trouble. Worse, she’s dragged a normal human into trouble with her. Brian Stettler is her nephew’s assistant, an FBI agent, and he reminds her of her own children when they young so many centuries ago. Yet, some shadowy organization has kidnapped them both. Their goal: to understand what Anna is and control her. They will use any tool they have to accomplish this, including ending Brian’s life. Anna has worked for too long to keep her family safe to allow power hungry, short-sighted idiots destroy it all. She imagines she’ll have to murder her and Brian’s way to safety, until their first inquisitor enters the room.
Evander Gunn is no ordinary US Army Military Intelligence officer. He’s an expert interrogator and he’s come to a black ops site at the request of Homeland Security. The subject he’s ordered to question is a foreign diplomat, a small delicate woman, and she’s been shot. Even worse, he recognizes her.
He grew up listening to his grandfather’s WW2 stories about working with the French Resistance. His gramps had one hand-drawn picture of the woman who saved his life. Now she’s sitting on a gurney in front of Evan, covered in blood, looking for all the world like a lady at a tea party.
Evan knows he must get Anna, and the baby FBI agent caught with her, to safety. It isn’t long until he realizes that there is no safe place…
