Blurb:

I don’t give a fuck.
Not about money or fame, beauty or power. I’ve had all those things since birth, and trust me, they’re a fucking snooze.
I don’t give a fuck about anyone, not even myself.
Until my father proves evil can exist in the most holy of places.
For the first time ever, something like interest stirs in my soul.
He wants me to enroll at St. Augustine.
Join The Elite.
Court the virginal daughter of Archbishop Savoie.
Prove that I’m worth the family name?
I’ll do it all.
And I’ll do it so well, no one will know what’s coming.
People are so quick to underestimate the wicked and lazy.
They forget idle hands are the best tools for the devil’s work.
I am Rush Dempsey.
I am Sloth.

The end is upon us and it’s a bittersweet moment. I’ve been with The Elite Seven series eagerly awaiting release after release. I’m sad there is only one sin left to experience, but holy hell I can already feel this series is going to have an explosive ending!

Today we are here to discuss the sixth book in the series, Sloth.

Sloth is written by Giana Darling, who also happens to be another new to me author. Sloth is said to be the laziest of all sins, but throughout this novel, I found Rush to be the strongest and smartest out of all the men. He’s definitely one you should fear and keep a close eye on. There’s nothing more deadly than a man on a mission to seek vengeance for a lost loved one. That’s for damn sure.

I loved how calculating Rush was throughout this novel. He was the smartest which also made him the most dangerous. So of course this man’s match has to be just as calculating as he is. Enter Isabelle (also known as Church Mouse). Isabelle is just as calculating as Rush, the only difference, she uses her manipulation tactics as a survival instinct.

Those who are around Isabelle see her as a quiet god fearing woman, they don’t know the secrets that hide behind locked doors. They don’t know that her father isn’t the holy man they see in their Archbishop. They don’t know that he uses god as a punishment and his fist as the verdict. They don’t know, but Rush does, and he’s determined to protect Isabelle in every way he possibly can.

I’m not a religious person, I don’t attend church, but I do have faith and I hold it close to my heart. With that being said, there was a part of me that couldn’t wait to dive into this story. I tend to stay away from novels with material involving the church, they never sparked my interest before. But then I read the blurb for Sloth and I knew I needed this novel! Giana Darling does a great job at mixing the sweet with the sexy.

I really enjoyed the strong suspense vibes throughout Sloth’s story. There were so many dynamics and threats in this one, It kept me on the edge of my seat and continuously looking over my shoulder, metaphorically speaking of course. The only issue I had, I wanted a little more of a backstory from Isabelle. I felt her story was skimmed over to get over the nitty gritty. I wanted to connect with her a little bit more.

Overall, this novel was kickass! I can’t wait to see how Ker Dukey and K. Webster are going to wrap this series up! It has been one hell of an emotional whirlwind. I’m sad to see this series end, but the ending is one of my biggest anticipations!
