There Are No Saints

If you like tension and dark romance, this is for you.The tropes:- Serial killers- Obsessed MMC- Sassy et strong FMC- Art worldThis ends with Cliffhanger and I had the absolute need to read the 2nd part.COUNTMEIN.

Honestly I didn't know what to expect going into this book. I had heard so many great things about it that I finally decided to read it. And it was good but I feel like it fell a tiny bit flat for me. Idk what I was expecting, just more.So I cannot decide what to rate this book, and it's driving me up the wall. On the one hand, I absolutely love the plot, I really liked Cole and Mara's characters, the tension and chemistry between them were immaculate. But on the other hand, I’m not loving it as I thought I would have.This book revolves around Cole and Mara who are brilliant artists with questionable hobbies and pasts. Cole is a cold, emotionless serial killer by night and a rich, successful artist by day. Mara on the other hand is a struggling artist who has fought tooth and nail for everything she has, and she is all the more fierce for it. And when she enters the same circles as Cole, her life drastically changes. These two collide, it is insane and consuming. Mara starts evoking something in Cole that goes beyond his cold and heartless ways. She had him worked out in a way that no other person could, and she read him so easily. Mara truly is the yin to his yang.Overall enjoyed the read and am looking forward to the second book in the series.

4,5Wow, che posso dire?Ho amato questo libro! Le premesse c'erano tutte e mi ha fatta impazzire!L'ho divorato! Mi sono ritrovata persa nella storia di Cole e Mara, sviluppato una crush per lui ma anche per Shaw ed il suo essere totalmente un pazzo fuori controllo.Avevo alte aspettative su questo libro, soprattutto grazie al Booktok e vi devo dire che ne é stato all'altezza.Cole é freddo, distaccato, metodico, geniale. Un'artista ed un assassino.Privo di emozioni, totalmente da brividi per la sua mancanza di empatia fino a Mara.E no, non parlo di una miracolosa comparsa di empatia.Parlo di ossessione.Lei é diventata il suo tarlo, da quella notte.Si è insediata nella sua testa, nei suoi pensieri, annullando tutto il resto.E' sua.Gli appartiene.Ma questo legame con Mara ha complicato tutto.Se c'è lei, non c'è altro.Sta perdendo il controllo.La lucidità.Stanno riapparendo delle emozioni.Tutto gli sta sfuggendo di mano.Gelosia.Ossessione.Diventa il suo st4lk3r.La spia.La tiene sotto controllo.Le offre tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno per tenerla sotto controllo.Spiarla.Sono due artisti.E senza dubbio entrambi fuori di testa.Mara.L'ho adorata.Mi é piaciuta un sacco.Testarda, ostinata, cocciuta.Più le dici di non fare qualcosa, più la fa.Coraggiosa? O forse non ha semplicemente il minimo senso di autoconservazione?E' entrata nella tana del lupo.Tra le sue grinfie.Assolutamente si.Tanti nodi devono ancora venire al pettine: il passato dei due protagonisti, Shaw.Cosa succederà?Non vedo l'ora di mettere le mani sul prossimo!

woah, this book is DARK! please check trigger warnings before reading. i couldn’t work out if i thought cole was hot or creepy.. i’m still undecided - he is trouble though, and rich (he gives me vaughn spencer vibes from angry god by lj shen!). i absolutely adore mara, god she’s just so strong willed, i could not survive what she went through!! they both have issues, like.. deep rooted issues, they’re perfect for each other, as in they balance each other. the tension between them😮‍💨 he’s controlling, manipulative, intense & she’s defiant, the back and forth with these two is great you just know the spice is gonna be SO SPICY🔥🌶 cole is so obsessed with thinking and making mara say that she’s his, he doesn’t even realise that he is just as much hers too🙊 if anything, he was hers way before she was his🥲 OMG I JUST LOVE THEM! cole is so cold and inhumane with everyone else, but with mara he’s totally different, he’s honest and seems like he can finally relax and actually be himself, who he wants to be. cole takes the meaning of “i’d kill for you” quite literally😮‍💨🥲 it gives me artistic, murderous, bonnie and clyde kinda vibes! it ends on a cliffhanger but that’s expected as it’s a duet! so excited to start there is no devil!!! jumping straight into the next book book🤩
