See all formats and editions

Aria Knight has an unusual set of skills: she will hold back the hounds of Hell so that you can fly toward the Pearly Gates, and she will wipe your slate clean so you don't become karma's bitch...for a price.

A sin eater has to make a living in today's world somehow.

But when she's called in the dead of night to perform her rite for a recluse billionaire, she stumbles upon a murder scene, and the evidence points to her.

In an attempt to clear her name and uncover the true culprit, Aria is forced to team up with a private investigator who's possessed by three spirits and a handsome wizard who would rather see all sin eaters like Aria go extinct.

Aria knows her job is never easy, but now, it's become downright deadly.

SIN EATER is the first book of the Aria Knight Chronicles by USA Today bestselling author Samantha Goodno (LaFantasie) and Alesha Escobar, author of the bestselling Gray Tower Trilogy.

Review

"I was enthralled immediately by Aria Knight, her powers, and her conflicted feelings about them. They enable her to help people and she reaps a benefit, but she wonders if it's all worth it and seeks to be released from this troubling legacy...I've enjoyed both Alesha Escobar's and Samantha LaFantasie's other Fantasy and magical realism stories. It was a treat to have their talents blended in one story."

-Devorah Fox, author of Lady Blackwing

Wow, powerful!

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

This was an incredibly powerful book and it deals with some less attractive aspects of human nature. And although there are some ray of lights here and there, the story is mostly sad and angering. Make no mistake, the story is incredibly gripping and as much as I wanted to I could not stop reading it. I actually did not stop until I finished the next book as well.
The authors did a fantastic job combining urban fantasy plot and infusing it with ugly human nature. The writing is impeccable, the world well thought of, the characters well developed, and the plot masterfully executed. The characters are not fluffy lovable ones but gritty, realistic ones.
Aria, the main character is a sin eater and it took me a while to warm up to her because of her insistent faith in humanity regardless of all that was happening around her. However, if people like her did not exist, no one would ever be saved. Her best friend Margot, however, I adored from the first moment. Then there are Harry, Jacob, Edwin, Benjamin, Kyra and their kids, and an array of other interesting characters.
One of the ugly aspects of this book is the underlying question of people paying for their sins and atrocities, or just simply being cleansed of them without bearing any responsibility in the end. Obviously, there is much more to sin eaters and their powers but this was an interesting thought.
The plot starts simple enough and then the whole hell breaks loose due to the enormous amount of hatred between certain groups of people. The authors did a fantastic portrayal of what if scenario. Hatred spills like the plague that it is and infects even the innocents and spreads towards the next book which I started reading immediately. It was indeed a very powerful book and I enjoyed it very much.
Reading order is Sin Eater (The Aria Knight Chronicles, #1), Revelations (The Aria Knight Chronicles Book 2), and Legacy (The Aria Knight Chronicles Book 3) has been announced.

Sin Eater review

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017

Brought to you by OBS reviewer Omar

When a person dies, those who still believe in old tales or have seen it done, called a Sin Eater. As the name says, a Sin Eater is a person who takes the sin of a recently deceased person and helps him move on to the afterlife. This is how we meet Aria Knight, the Sin Eater, as she performs the ritual for a woman that just died, and manages to get in time before the soul of the deceased is devoured by the Hellhounds. Then we meet Harry Storm, a P.I. as he tries to get in time to a local Apothecary for his weekly potion, before the ghosts that inhabit his body get to take control over his body. After drinking his potion, he follows the person he was tasked to gather information from, Jacob Wolfie. Jacob is a wizard and the Mayor’s Chief of Staff of the city. Given the recent problems and fights between non-wizards and wizards, Jacob has been assigned to find a deal or balance between the parties.

Without knowing it, somebody is pulling the strings and has set their eyes on the three characters. In hopes of creating a war within the community, the characters are set up to take the blame for different crimes and be the scapegoats of a hidden group. Now Aria, Harry (and his ghosts), and Jacob must find a way to work together, and find the real criminals behind the shadows, before they get killed.

I liked the Sin Eater, it was a good book and the story was okay. To tell you the truth, I decided to read this book because I remember seeing a long time ago a movie also called Sin Eater or The Order, and it had the same type of story that the summary of this book mentions. I liked the concept of a person removing the sins of a deceased individual to help her go to heaven or a better afterlife, and I wanted to know what type of storyline could be created to add this type of character.

I liked that in the world where this book takes place, magic and other types of supernatural things exist, but at the same time is trying to make the non-magic and magic parties to work with each other. I also liked that some things are not common and are looked down upon, such as, in this case the sin eaters, as some thought they were all dead. At the same time, I liked the used of the three different characters, and each of them coming from a different branch of the humans that inhabit this world.

While I liked the story, there were some things I think fell short. One of them was, that while the story is a fast read, I still think that in the process of making it not a long story, some information was omitted or missing. One moment they are looking over the information they have and learning new things, and the next they are already fighting the villain of the book. Out of nowhere we learn of betrayals that weren’t even whispered along the story and from characters that didn’t seem important to pay attention.

I found very easy to spot the villain or enemy around the first -third of the story, but it was a shocking turn of events when at the end you learn who he is also is working with.

While I didn’t like much the character of Harry Storm, I did like the ghost that inhabit him. Maybe I didn’t have enough of the actual Harry in the book to get to know him, but there wasn’t a click to his character like there was with the other two. I do hope we get to see more of the ghosts in the upcoming book.

If you are a fan of authors Alesha Escobar and Samantha LaFantasie, and you are interested in their work, then I recommend you Sin Eater. Here three individuals have to put their differences aside and help each other find the people behind the murders of innocent people, while also trying to stop a civil war. In our last hours, we all called for somebody to help us move on, even if it’s a Sin Eater.

urban fantasy hits its stride in the second half with a trio of interesting characters

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

3.5 stars, actually.

It took me a little while to warm up to the story as I am more used to Urban Fantasy with one POV, this one switches a bit between the main folks. This is your usual UF modern milieu with sorcerors living amongst us...however the interesting bit here is that they are not secret. In the town where the story takes place, there is even a movement to "register" the sorcerers, with a bit of a timely political echo to what's happening in the U.S. right now.

Aria's sin-eating was a new for me. I liked the idea of her easing the transition between life and death for folks, but at times was left with an uneasy understanding of how/why sin eating fit into the overall magic system of the world. Like, if sin eaters are so rare, why does everyone seem so prejudiced against them? And what happens to the majority of folks if they are so rare? (in the book its said sorcerers weighed down by sin become vampires, but there weren't tons of vampires running about) and also apparently they are long-lived but this doesn't seem to impact Aria that much...so I was confused at times.

Once Aria the sin-eater, Harry the possessed PI and Jacob the sorcerer get together to fight an evil murderur that keeps changing names, things got a little easier to both figure out (since we discover some of the differently named bad guys are the same bad guy, and also what exactly is going on with Harry). And the relationships between these three as they figure out what the bad guy is up to certainly was interesting. I think I would liked to have seen more of the evil "vlad" possessing Harry, and also a tad bit more editing in some chapters...i.e. the book tells us one of Harry's possessing ghosts is a former loremaster like three times. I'd read the next one in the series, though, with the hopes that it would be like the second half of this book.

This story I found to be a page turner

Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2018

This multi point of view story is a visionary look at how the paranormal can fit in with today’s society. Each Character felt so real with their individual struggles, but were still able to work together as a team for the good of the world. I really enjoyed the story and couldn’tstop flicking the pages over on my kindle.

I can’t wait to see where Aria, Harry & Jacob go next.

Not what I expected....

I understand this is laying the ground work - but where it was an extremely slow start in the beginning, it felt a bit rushed and slightly disjointed. That said, have already pre-ordered the next one.
