Madeline Pryce creates a intricate world where the brothers are born of a powerful, dark magician necromancer and his beloved zombie wife. However, Ms. Pryce has a writing style and point of view that makes this complex story very accessible.I find myself captured by Bastian's emotions - the way he holds himself tightly in control; his protectiveness forged by the abuse he endured from his sadistic father; the fear of giving his heart to someone who might reject him. Constantly fighting his father's manipulations, I feel exhausted for him.Morgan is just discovering her powers as a necromancer. Prior to meeting Bastian, she didn't even know of their existence. She is a sympathetic ingenue with flashes of snark and steely resolve.This is a classic PNR story with a definite upswing in eroticism. Madeline Pryce writes very erotic scenes. And yet, Bastian and Morgan's interplay is both emotionally and physically intense:In that moment they were connected. His heart beat in her chest. His breath filled her lungs. Her magic moved inside him until it found the cold part deep within his core. The connection was instant, a tethering that wrapped around her in a way that left her breathless. He was hers. Body. Mind. Soul.I enjoyed the interactions between the brothers. The dynamics are laid out: "Rory got them into trouble, Bastion bailed them out, and Nolan was their constant." Already, we get clues into the direction of the next books. Ohh, enticing hints. I can't wait.IN A NUTSHELL:Creative, emotional, erotic, Crimson Sins is a PNR trifecta. Don't miss it.
