Deacon (Saints vs Sinners Series) by CJ Warrant – Review by Shelly Kittell

Deacon by CJ Warrant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deacon Saint is a man dealing with a lot of pain. Coming off a painful injury from his racing career, he returns home for his best friend’s funeral and finds many secrets in Alama. It’s time to take care of those secrets. With the help of his childhood buddies, he is able to fight through demons and secrets from the past. He also learns to let his friends help him. He learns that the woman he always loved never betrayed him so he and Olivia get to work through their challenges along with helping his mom find help and resources for her Alzheimers. This book was fantastic. Though staring with a funeral, the action pulls you right in. You can feel Deacon’s and Olivia’s emotions throughout the whole story.. There are some large emotions. The author gives you some big twists and turns in the story. I feel like you had at least two different storylines going but they melded perfectly into each other. I felt like I was dealing with people I knew from high school. Such well-written characters, great job done with Clyde. Grumpier than Oscar the Grouch.The tone of the story being just Deacon and Olivia makes it feel personal. This is the story that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read more. This is going to be a wonderful series. I would give it more than a 5 if I could.
