REVIEW: A Vault of Sins by Sarah Harian

September 16, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

A VAULT OF SINS (CHAOS THEORY #2)
By: Sarah Harian
Publication Date: September 16, 2014
A Vault of Sins (Chaos Theory, #2)
In her stunning New Adult debut, The Wicked We Have Done, Sarah Harian introduced readers to the Compass Room: a twisted experimental jail where the guilty and the innocent suffer alike. But breaking out was only the beginning…

Even though she’s escaped, twenty-two-year-old Evalyn Ibarra is anything but free. She’s desperate to return to a life that no longer exists, but prying reporters continually draw her back into nightmarish memories, using the tabloids to vilify her. Bad press is the last thing she needs during the trial of the year: the case that she and her fellow survivors staked against the Compass Room engineers. A case that could terminate the use of the inhumane system forever…

But in her dreams, she is still locked in that terrifying jail.

When she wakes, someone is trying to communicate with her in secret, through strange and intricate clues. As Evalyn follows their signs, she uncovers a conspiracy that goes so much deeper than her own ordeal. A dangerous intrigue that only she can bring to light. One that will force her to work with the one person she doesn’t want to see.

The person who owns her heart…

Erin’s Thoughts

A Vault of Sins by Sarah Harian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Vault of Sins is the second book in the Chaos Theory series by Sarah Harian. Just like book one, this one grabbed me from the first page and had me wondering how things were going to go for the survivors of the Compass Room (CR) and Harian doesn’t hold anything back. In an effort to not give anything critical away I am going to try to keep this as more of an overview and not dive into the details so don’t hold it against me. Just know that I love this series and you should probably just go read it now.

Evalyn is definitely having a hard time adjusting to being outside the CR and while she, Casey, and Valerie are back in court trying to prove that the government is up to something she isn’t really free. There is a cloud hanging over their heads because they all know what they are risking by challenging Gemma Branam, the creator of the CR.

As the story moves forward Evalyn begins to get some weird messages and one of those messages leads her right to Valerie. I loved seeing Evalyn’s friendship with Valerie become more than just a survival mechanism and these two eventually come to depend on each other to get through their days because they have both lost an important part of themselves, not only in the CR but also in the people they love. There is no question that Evalyn is using alcohol to get through her days as well and I thought if anyone would have called her out on it, it would have been Valerie but for some reason she let it slide.

Due to some circumstances outside of her control, Evalyn ends up working closely with a conspiracy group called Reprise that happens to be made up of former CR Engineers and living across the border in Canada. The engineers are the ones who know all the secrets of the Compass Room and they are also the ones that are going to help Evalyn prove what Branam and her group have been up to.

Just to make things a bit more interesting, Branam has decided she is going to do another run in a different Compass Room. The problem with this (for Evalyn) is that Branam decided to retry Valerie and put her in the new round of criminals being put into the CR and now Evalyn and Reprise need to come up with a plan to get into the new CR and save Valerie.

I loved how Harian built this world out. Not only is there the world that these characters live in but she goes a step further to explain to the reader how the Compass Room really works and by exposing us to the details of how it all works, we also learn how Evalyn and her group of conspirators are going to save Valerie.

On top of all the action and intrigue, there is also the romance/relationship piece to talk about. Casey and Evalyn developed some strong feelings for each other and through everything they absolutely cared about each other. I think that Evalyn thought she would try to be with him but eventually when she saw how things were going to end up, she didn’t want her reputation to tarnish Casey and his situation so she made the decision to run away and not tell anyone where she was. This definitely hurt Casey and when they first came back together at the Reprise hideout he wasn’t in a forgiving mood, regardless of her reasons. I have to say that I am glad he got over it though and I think too that the whole thing shifted their relationship a bit. Before it felt like Evalyn was making all the decisions and I feel like now Casey comes across as an equal partner – for the most part. Evalyn still makes decisions without always including him but that speaks more to her wanting to protect him more than anything else.

There was great progression with this story and as I said earlier, the more I read in this series, the more I love it. I love the characters that Harian has created and the world they live in/try to survive in. I am absolutely looking forward to the next book in the series as things got really interesting at the end of this book and I am curious to see where Harian takes this story. If you are looking for a great dystopian that has quite a bit of action, definitely check this series out. Also, don’t forget about the novella because it gives you a different view of Valerie – something you don’t really get a view of in book one or two.

Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Group for the review copy!

Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies Happy Sunday ! Have you picked up any new hobbies over the last year? Puzzles are our new thing and we have done a ton of them! I have also taken to cleaning and letting go of all of the things! I used to belong to a ton of book boxes and while I appreciate all the creativity etc that goes into them I just don’t know what to do with all the little items and extras that come in each one - again I love that #illumicrate offers a book only option so that is the only sub box I belong to aside from #botm
.
That said there are some things that I will never give up and have put in my ‘save but stash away’ box- anything #illuminaefiles related is in there!
.
 This is probably one of my most recommended series to just about anyone - both audio and hardcover because you must experience it both ways!

I have been doing a pretty good job of reading books that have been on my shelves for a bit and I swore to myself that as soon as the last book arrived in @sabaatahir ‘s series I was going to binge them ... and I did!

I listened on audio because I’m guaranteed at least an hour of reading time per day (it’s been hard to come by lately!) and also Steve West & Fiona Hardingham so... I am happy to say that i absolutely loved this series (despite my frequent ‘OMG SABAA’ commentary).

I looooove rom com’s so very much so when I saw this title I squeeeeed with excitement because it sounds exactly like what I will love! Check out the summary below and add this one to your #tbrpile
.
Summary:

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door.

Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet.

The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

.
Summary:

In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.

Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a little while—is to steal love from others.

Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.

When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.

Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don't kill each other first.
