I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 5 Twisty Stars. 
 Geneva Lee is a new-to-me author, and I didn't know what to expect. I received the ebook today, and opened it immediately, and read it to the end in one sitting. 
 Truthfully, I have no freaking idea how to review The Sins That Bind Us. 
 Here goes... The story is told in present, with a few scenes presented in the past. There are a few major players in the story, with a small side cast which is basically a BFF/roommate and a gaggle of NA members. 
 A pair of identical twins, Grace & Faith, who were raised by their grandmother after their parents' death. At the cusp of adulthood, the grandmother is placed in a home for dementia. Now there is Max, Faith's hearing-impaired son. In walks Jude, a man met at a NA meeting. 
 The Sins That Bind Us was a fast-paced, page-turner, filled with addiction, enablers, and the lifelong aftermath of dealing with an addict. With maturity, TSTBU shows both sides of addiction, how its hardest on those who love the addict- the enablers. The lessons learned and morals shown should be taken to heart by those reading who are dealing with addicts in their life, especially if they are the addict themselves. 
 While there was a ton of dark, uncomfortable, emotionally painful content on the pages, there were just as many warm and fuzzy, romantic, steamy hot, and cute and cuddly scenes to offset the darkness with light. 
 As I read, I could feel something lurking beneath the surface. I kept reading quicker and quicker, wanting to know if my theory was correct. Many books are written, calling themselves mind f*cks, when the content makes it obvious what you're getting yourself into- it desensitizes you to the point you just shrug when the climax hits. TSTBU is subtle, whispering- you can just sense there is more than meets the eye. The reader tries to figure out what is foreshadowing, only to disregard it. I went back and forth with 'Am I right? Nah, guess not. Yes, I'm right!' 
 I was right ;) 
 Even still, it hit me hard. I imagine those who didn't figure it out will be getting a cerebral lashing because it was so subtle beneath the hesitation and romance. But I'm not going to explain, because you should just read the book if you want to find out. I'm not going to ruin it for you. 
 As I said; this was the first book I'd read by Geneva Lee, and I look forward to reading more in the future.
