The Priest (The Original Sinners, #9)
Tiffany Reisz
New Orleans, four months after the events of THE QUEEN... Søren has been suspended from the Jesuits for a minimum of one year after confessing to fathering a child. To say he's struggling with his newfound freedom is an understatement. Kingsley is about to be a father again and is convinced something very bad is about to happen. Nerves? Or is he right that the time has come for the Sinners to pay for their sins? And if things couldn't get worse, a handsome private detective shows up and tells Mistress Nora that a priest has just committed suicide, and she was the last person he tried to call. He would like to know why... She doesn't know, but Nora and her new detective friend will turn over the city to find out, meeting liars, vampires, and witches along the way. When she finds what she's looking for, she may wish she'd never stepped foot in New Orleans.

0 0THE PRIEST is the ninth book in the Original Sinners series. I devoured books 1-5 and haven't read 6,7, or 8. It touts itself as the perfect jumping on point for new readers. Many of the characters are making new starts, but I certainly felt that my familiarity with the core group increased my enjoyment. I will be genuinely curious to see how new readers feel.
This book is not easy. It is not a romp. In the last third of the book, Nora (dominatrix/erotic romance author) makes some hard choices and it feels like those choices will form a mission statement for any upcoming books. New friendships are formed and old bonds are broken.
This book will come with a lot of content warnings for readers. Concerned readers should seek those out.
I think this is a good book. I think it IS a turning point in the series, and it's doing the hard work it needs to in order to establish a new, or at least revised, direction. But it's a heavy lift.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for review.
