My summary: The saga of Lincoln Riscoff and Whitney Gable continues in the second book of the Sin trilogy by Meghan March. The story continues to jump between the past as the present, as the tale of Lincoln and Whitney’s relationship unfolds. With more drama regarding the Riscoff inheritance, and more dramatics from Lincoln’s mother, the path forward for Lincoln and Whitney still seems to be doomed.

My thoughts: Yikes. This book is basically just a repetition of the same drama for five hours—which is all just a repetition of the first book in the trilogy.

I really don’t like the female narrator. She has an odd voice inflection at the end of her sentences that makes me want to chuck my headphones across the room. At least Joe Arden makes it somewhat tolerable.

I guess I only like Meghan March’s books that are set in NOLA. I’m tired of these other stupid plot lines. This is the second or third awful trilogy that I’ve slogged my way through now. I’m hoping some better holds are available on Libby soon.

Back to this story. I’m getting really tired of how completely unhinged Lincoln’s mother is and how everyone just drops everything to cater to her. I don’t understand why Whitney just keeps constantly deciding to run away—even though she never actually does—despite the fact that she supposedly loves Lincoln, the uber-rich heir to Riscoff fortune. This is literally just listening to the antics of a bunch of spoiled rich people or the terrible choices Whitney keeps making, which are also based on the inheritance. There are literally no likable characters here and a whole bunch of really over-the-top awful characters.

It’s hard to keep track of whether the chapter is telling the past or the present. But, no worries. It’s all exactly the same plot so it’s pretty irrelevant.

Anyway, the things rich people do for money, amiright? It’s probably scarily accurate that this many lives are ruined and these women are this batshit crazy over an inheritance by marriage.
