Sinners' Playground

A Dark Gang Romance (The Harlequin Crew, Book 1)

By: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Dead girls don’t feel pain. But they like the taste of vengeance.

Maybe that’s why I came back to my hometown. Because it sure as hell wasn’t for the surf. But what else was I supposed to do when I found myself in Sunset Cove with twenty bucks to my name, the key to my enemies’ secrets hanging around my neck and a mouth full of grave dirt that wouldn’t wash clean?

I hate the Harlequin boys.

But this is the perfect opportunity to take what they owe me. Because once upon a time, they broke my heart, stole my life and sent me away from everything I’d ever known.

Fox, JJ, Chase, and Maverick.

The four names tattooed onto my heart more permanently than any of the ink on my skin. They don’t just live in this town anymore, they rule it. And the view here may be beautiful, but the sun, sea and sand hide dark secrets.

The gangs. The lies. The violence.

It all lurks beneath a veil so thin that once you’ve seen through it, you can never close your eyes to the truth again.

But I don’t plan on closing my eyes. I have four devils set in my sights. And this dead girl no longer has anything to lose.

This is an enemies to lovers contemporary series where the girl will end up with multiple love interests and all of the characters are in their late twenties. Trigger warning: This series features gangs, violence, dark romance, and jealous/possessive themes.

OMG What!?!?

Full of hatred and steam. This book had me yelling at the characters at times, but truly enjoyed the action. What a cluster of emotions and attraction these characters face.

great narration

Must read

Suck me in! Seriously these two authors are killer on dark and twisted and all that’s effed up in the world. If starting a book out by a girl being choked to death isn’t enough to grab your attention then seriously you need help. They are so great at creating a story so realistic you can almost taste it. Sinners Playground is a delightfully dark read with smartalick humor and things you won’t see coming. You’re hearts already on edge from your intro to Rogue ( a scrappy girl who seems to Siri I’ve everything bruised abs broken but not shattered) but let’s through in her back story to drive home the roughness. I don’t want to give anything away because seriously you need to experience it all surprises, hits and hotness all on your own. But the ending. Damn they know how to leave you on a cliffs edge begging for more! The narrators continue to kill it! Characters personalities and all the emotions are so vivid with this pair bringing the story to life!

I’m not quite sure yet…

As much as I love what the sisters put out, this one is taking a while for me to decide if it’s love or meh. Never ever did I think I’d say that.

I started with the prequel. Although I can see why everything in this part was necessary, I’m wondering if it could be told faster. I’m hoping above all hope, it does get better from here.

On to the next…

Classic Twisted Sisters

So many LOL moments that these authors are known for. Narration was fine. Nothing earth shattering. Of course it ends with a wicked cliffhanger but I’m moving right along to the next book.

Good Read. 📚 🌟

Narration was great !
The story was great!
Yes, I would recommend ...
I would say the only thing that kind of bugged me was the maim female character got to be a bit repetitive with talking about her hurt feelings.
