Vengeance City Series by Sara Hinds

Never stop surviving. For as long as I can remember, this has been my life. Be who they want, do what they want, and keep their attention on me. If all they see is me, the other girls are safe, making it all worth it. I would do anything to keep them from going through what I have. Over the years, I’ve changed hands and owners. I’ve lied, killed, and fought, but the goal is always the same. Shut it all down... moreNever stop surviving. For as long as I can remember, this has been my life. Be who they want, do what they want, and keep their attention on me. If all they see is me, the other girls are safe, making it all worth it. I would do anything to keep them from going through what I have. Over the years, I’ve changed hands and owners. I’ve lied, killed, and fought, but the goal is always the same. Shut it all down. Five of the six trafficking rings are gone now, and I’m close to achieving the goal that has kept me going for so long. But as it often does, life has other plans, and for the first time ever, I’m on the outside. I’m free. Too bad I have no idea what to do with this freedom. With nowhere to go and no idea how to take down the last ring from the outside, I find myself going home with the police chief's wife. There I find Roderick, Spencer, and Zander, the same three who pulled me from the pit two nights ago. Apparently, Vengeance runs this city, and it just so happens we have a common goal. The more we work together, the more I see what a future of freedom could be, and the harder it is to keep that goal a priority. Not just for me but for them. But I’ve worked too hard to give up, and if I have to go back to shut it down, I will. And nobody and nothing can stop me. Vengeance & Sin is a full-length new adult romance. It is book 1 of 3 in the Vengeance City Series and does end on a minor cliffhanger. This is a slow to medium burn, why choose romance with some darker elements that readers should be aware of such as graphic violence, mature adult themes and topics of mental health. Please read the trigger warnings. less

Sin used to run this city until Vengeance ran them out. Too bad they didn’t get them all. Like a parasite, they linger, and while they’re still here, nobody is safe. Freedom means nothing if I’m constantly watching not only my back but the backs of the people I care about. And with every day that passes, that list of people grows, no matter how hard I try to fight against it. There’s only one sure way to get rid of them, and while I’m open to other ideas, I know what I’ll have to do... moreSin used to run this city until Vengeance ran them out.

Everything in life is dangerous. The only way to survive is to be more dangerous. All my life, people have underestimated me, but I made a promise that I intended to keep, no matter the sacrifice, even if it meant giving my life. Lies, secrets, and greed make people desperate, but it’s not the only thing that can drive people to madness. I never intended to care, much less have others care for me. For the first time, my life has meaning beyond bringing down the rings and saving innocents... moreEverything in life is dangerous. The only way to survive is to be more dangerous.

I don’t need to be set free. I’ll free my damn self, and I’ll take down anyone who stands in my way. And this time, I won’t do it alone. Who said Vengeance can’t be sweet? less
