My Review:
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Sin and Kwame and the way their relationship developed. The slow burn was full of tension, and I loved how their families were unknowingly connected long before either of them realized it.
Now I love a good mystery, and this one definitely kept me on my toes.
This is going to sound like a double-edged sword, but one of the things I loved most about this book was the short chapters. Some chapters were simply a character's thoughts on a situation, while others served as a setup for what came next. The quick chapters made it easy to keep turning the pages.
With that said, my biggest struggle was the pacing. While I understood the purpose of many of the slower moments, some sections felt drawn out and took longer to get where they were going.
That ending completely caught me off guard. Just when the investigation finally uncovered something substantial and the stakes reached their highest point, the story ended on a cliffhanger that left me with many questions. I finished the book both intrigued and frustrated, because I immediately wanted to know what would happen next. Well played, Ms Wilson-Tagoe 👏

Synopsis:
Who gets to tell this story?
The sinner who lived it?
Or the saint who stole it?
Sin Sackey is driven by the same hardwired need as every eldest first-generation daughter—to make her family proud. And she built her career and chose her partners with that single goal as her north star.
Everyone said she had it all. And for more than twenty years, Sin let herself believe they were right.
Until a near-death experience makes the truth impossible to deny.
Her relationship is on life support. Her journalism career is in freefall. And the city she thought she’d conquer has chewed her up and spit her out.
With everything to prove—and everything to lose—Sin moves back home to Washington, DC, determined to start over. No more chasing shadowy criminals. And no more men who look too good to be true.
But on the eve of the first day of the rest of her new life, the saying about old habits proves painfully accurate.
A new lead falls into her lap, and Sin dives back into the story that nearly cost her everything.
Then, when a man who is all the things she’s sworn to avoid invites her to dinner, she says yes.
After everything she’s been through, it’s reckless.
But this story could resurrect her career—and take down an entire black-market empire. She’s closer than ever to catching its elusive leader, and she can’t let go now.
And this man—who makes her blush, makes her laugh, and understands things she usually has to explain—could be the one. So, she lowers her walls just enough for him to climb over.
But just when it seems her gamble might pay off, her lead starts to feel more like a trap. And the man she’s let herself love appears to be the one who set it.
