Sinner follows their story, after all that happened in Mercy Falls, to Los Angeles where Cole goes back into the spotlight, and into Isabel’s life. But, on a completely different note from the love stories and the stories of friendship and adventure, Stiefvater’s The Scorpio Races had and is still getting rave reviews (Swan). One review stated “Masterful… like nothing else out there now”(Kirkus Reviews). The Scorpio Races tells the story of Kate Connolly and Sean Kendrick, both orphans whose parents died thanks to the capaill uisce, or water horse.

The story seems to reflect modern society as we know it today, but not all aspects of it
