In Sinful Purity, K. A. Standen expertlycontrasts the issues of bondage and freedom on two different levels: theinstitutional and the inner spiritual. It is a story filled with deep innertension as Liz works her way out of the darkness of hidden childhood and intothe light of freedom. The plot is thoughtful and well-developed and the readerwill feel the inner conflict and tension that grips Liz. It is almostimpossible to put this book down as the reader pursues each of the suspensefultwists and turns which Liz faces as she unravels the identity that liesbeneath. This is a thought provoking masterpiece which will serve the readerwell as it questions the deeper truths of bondage and freedom. An honest book.Highly recommended reading.

In terms of suspenseand mystery, Sinful Purity hits the ground running. I was transfixed, startingfrom the story's prologue itself. Walking in a cold and rainy night, theprotagonist's emotional and bloodied physical pain expressed through thehaunting and beautiful prose swiftly evoked my curiosity. Thefascination was instant and I was eager to start chapter one. Coupled with theright amount of angst, romance, and even humor, it definitely gives a greatboost to the well-developed characters. From start to finish, the plot keeps me on theedge, as K.A. Standen keeps it tight, leaving no room for me to guess inadvance about what will come next. By the time the story comes to an end, with far greaterpower than it started, Standen has done the work of showing the readers how agreat story can still linger in one's mind and will not be easily forgotten.
