Synopsis:
Father Stuart Ballard has been Marcus Stearns’ confessor since the young Jesuit was only eighteen years old. He thought he’d heard every sin the boy had to confess until Marcus uttered those three fateful words: “I met Eleanor.”
So begins the 40-page “The Confession of Marcus Stearns,” a moving coda to the RITA® Award-winning Original Sinners series. This collection also includes “The Confession of Eleanor Schreiber,” a companion 36-page story written exclusively for The Confessions. And, finally, all secrets are revealed in “The Confession of Tiffany Reisz,” an exclusive, in-depth interview.
Three Sinners. Three confessions. And all the dirty little secrets you could possibly desire…

I loved every single book in the Original Sinners series, so obviously I jumped all over this book. A chance to get a little more inside the head of Soren, Nora, AND Tiffany? Yes, please.
First we get to read Soren's, or ahem, Marcus Stearns' confession which is soon after meeting Eleanor. It gives us glimpses into Nora and Soren's beginning, into his deepest thoughts and feelings at that time and for the future and from the past. Just a little bit here and there, but each an inherent part of who Marcus 'Soren' Stearns is. What makes him, well him.
Nora's confession, I'll admit had me cracking up at times. And it was absolutely fitting that she should confess to Soren's confessor, to the one who knows what I'd dare say the most about him. Nora, I feel, was confessing for many reasons, to do as her mother asked, to get things off her chest she couldn't work through with anyone else, and I think she had a great curiosity to meet Father Ballard, and let him meet her.
And then to top of what is already an amazing addition to the series, we get to hear more from Tiffany. I enjoyed the entire interview, but I liked the fact that it seemed so casual, yet we got to dig deep into parts of her mind and the book plots as well. All combined, Tiffany's answers shed an extra light on the series and gave new perspectives on a few aspects.
Overall, I feel that the Confessions adds just that little bit of extra to the series and I loved reading each confession and the elements they added to my already high opinion of the series overall.
