Book Review of The Last Sin Eater

The Last Sin Eater
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


I am always amazed at her writing. She does not lean on other novels to produce the next story. This one will take a little bit of reading to really get into it, but the message is clear and simple, there is only one sin-eater. Rivers takes a folk-tale from the smoky mountains and weaves it into a biblical lesson of redemption. Since I am familiar with the geographical area and the ownership the people pride themselves on, I can tell you that this story could take place in a heartbeat.
