YES YES YES!!! Obsessed I love this so much. I’m truly hooked and I binged this soooo fast. Cannot wait to continue the series!

I am a Sophie Lark fan and I really did enjoy this read. This whole series is very entertaining and the artwork woven throughout is one of the best parts! For me, it was a solid 3 stars and that’s a good rating. It means I was entertained and would likely recommend to others.

2,5⭐️

I have so many mixed feelings about this book. I thought Butcher & Blackbird is the weirdest book I've read and yet here we are.

This book is something else, it's wild ride without brakes, the first half I didn't know whether to dnf or to keep going, but I kept reading. And idk if it was good idea. Reading this book was an experience I'm not sure I wanted.

The second half was 100% better than the first one, finally something started to happen and not only Mara's spiralling.

Cole is a psychopath, actual psychopath, not a cute villain, not a morally grey man, he. is. a. literal. psychopath. the way he didn't know whether to fuck Mara or kill her and she didn't know it either, but she came to him anyway, I'm sorry wha?!? Girl has no sense of self preservation.

And the ending being the biggest cliffhanger??? Rude. now I have to read the second book, cus you can't just leave it like that😒

Thank you Netgalley for providing digital advanced copy in exchange for honest review.

Give me more!! I've only been reading Sophie Lark since earlier this year, and she's already become one of my favorite authors. There hasn't been a book of hers I haven't enjoyed, and this time was no different. I loved everything about this story! From the serial killer rivalry to the romance, There Are No Saints is everything I hoped it would be. Darkness, intense chemistry, suspense, obsession's, gore, and steam all come together to form one hell of a story! There Are No Saints is the story of two powerful men, both acclaimed artists, psychopaths, serial killers, and rivals, who become obsessed with one girl. It's very smart, with clever and daring characters. Characters that think ahead and react on the spot with intelligence, who plot their next move with cunning, and question the motives of their brain and heart. Don't think you wont want to read book two after this because you will NEED it so have it ready!

so this was a very intriguing read and i was very hesitant as i am usually not a lark fan but this one had my interest more and kept me on my toes. it’s a lot darker and grittier than her other books.

This story is set within the San Francisco art scene. where we meet our acclaimed artists and notorious rivals Alastor Shaw and Cole Blackwell, along with the hardscrabble creative, Mara Eldritch.

Mara Catching the eye of Cole may not be a good thing, as his interest puts Mara in the sight of the infamous serial killer who is called the Beast of the Bay.

We get a perfect mixture between a thriller and a romance. I really love Sophies books and this was a fun read, I flew through it. Something about this world sophie created has me so intrigued and I need to read book 2 immediately.

I literally could not put this book down. A quick, fast past read, Sophie Lark had me entranced the whole time. This is a dark love story between Mara, an aspiring artist, and Cole, a famous artist/serial killer. The way Sophie develops these characters was fantastic, really capturing the obsessive, psychopath in Cole, but also constantly surprising me with the actions and boldness of Mara’s character. I was gasping at the painting scene. I can’t wait to get into There is No Devil.

This was DARK- like the darkest of dark. It was absolutely intriguing but also a bit cringe. It reminds me of Joe Goldberg from "You" pursuing a girl that was fine with it all - stalking, murder, assault. This was something different for me to read, but I'm not willing to read the sequel.

I could not put this down! A steamy serial killers romance! Yes, here for it!! I could not get enough of it. I cannot wait to read the second book!!! I have to know what happens!!!
6 out of 5 stars!
I just reviewed There Are No Saints by Sophie Lark. #NetGalley

Mara and Cole are two characters that I fell completely in love with. The connection between these two was one that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book was certainly twisted, and definitely chaotic, but I wouldn't change a single second of it. As soon as you start reading, you will definitely be hooked by Sophie Lark's writing, as this is an unputdownable read.

I have no words… but I need more. Immediately yes. Haunting Adeline meets American Psycho. If you like dark romance then I highly recommend.

Definitely check out the trigger warnings before you pick this one up. I don’t have any triggers but this book made me want to cover my eyes at one point and just *insert grimace face*

I’m unsure if I should’ve loved this book as much as I did but this is a serial killer dark romance. I recommend checking out the TW as there are some triggering things mentioned. This book took me a bit to get into, but I was somehow hooked after the second chapter. I was enjoying the storyline and was surprised with the way the story was going. There were some nice, warm moments in this story that balanced with the darkness. The pacing was great and I enjoyed the setting of the storyline.

This book is told from Mara and Cole’s pov. Mara is a broke artist looking for her big break but is being hunted by Alastor. Cole notices Mara and becomes addicted to her. I enjoyed both of their stories and getting into each of their heads. They were different but very similar in the ways they thought. There were some side characters but the MCs took the book. I do wish we got more of Alastor but I believe he will be coming in the next book more. The romance is enemies to lovers, he falls first, and alpha hero with some steamy scenes.

The ending was good but not classified as a cliffhanger though leaves you wanting more to see what will happen next. I will for sure be reading the next book as I want to see how everything will turn out. This was a great story and I recommend checking it out.

*this book was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*

thank you to netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books, Bloom Books for allowing me to read this book. This was my first Sophie Lark book and this book just made me an instant fan. This book was so good and i cant wait to read more.

Absolutely loved this book, ‘There Are No Saints captured me from the very first chapter, it’s the first in the duo series.
The main characters deal with childhood trauma, anxiety, obsession, and acceptance. This book is very heavy with a few trigger warnings so check those before reading. Sophie Lark is an amazing author and I can’t wait to dive in and read the second book in this duo

Welp, looks like into serial killer romances, it’s like the show “you” but he falls for the girl instead of killing her. Ugh such a good book. Totally recommend it!

OH MY. I can't with this. WHY IS THIS SO HOT? Like all my darkest and most depraved...omg...I can't. This was extrordinary.

Wow I think this one might have been a tad too dark for me a year ago. But lord was this twisted good!!! Loved every page!

Sophie Lark never misses. I absolutely loved this book and the series is going to be great. I can’t wait to read the second book I highly recommend five stars!
