Shed My Skin: (An angsty rock star romance) (Sons of Sin Book 5) Kindle Edition
The wages of sin is death…love was never supposed to be part of that.
To the world, I am Maddox Masters, billionaire heir, golden-boy, and king of the spotlight. They don’t know the darkness inside.
I’m toxic. Dangerous in every sense of the word. My life is one horrifying event after another, and I am at the center of it all.
They tell me it's not my fault. I smile and pretend for their sake, but I know different. Invite me into your life, and it’s guaranteed I’ll destroy it. I am Sin incarnate, and to atone, I carry everyone else's as well as the weight of my own.
The world would be better off without me, and I’ve tried to speed up the process. But there’s always someone there to save me.
This time, it's a whiskey-eyed angel with broken wings. I want to heal her, and she wants to save me. But staying close long enough to do so, I fear, will destroy her. Is she the cure to my poison, or am I the death to her life?
Shed My Skin is book five in the Sons of Sin series and book one of Maddox Master's story, and does end on a cliffhanger. While the preceding books do not have to be read prior, it is recommended.
Reviews:
Nola Marie’s Shed My Skin is a story that will keep you riveted to the book from page one...The twists and turns kept me turning page after page as tears fell as I read about how Madsy suffered... The book ends on a cliffhanger, but you will want to read the next book to see how Maddox’s life plays out. Nola Marie will give you a HEA, so trust her pen will write out a new beginning for my new favorite bandmember of the Sons of Sin band. - Amazon Review
I assume if you made it this far into the series that you can handle everything that will be in this book. It is not for the faint of heart. Mental illness is not something that can be easily described nor written about. The author does an outstanding job carrying us through a psychotic breakdown of someone who has become a part of this series. - Amazon Review
This is one of the best series I have read. I can not wait until the next book is released. - Amazon Review
In Shed My Skin, you see love seep through the cracks of concrete and you see the challenges of it. However, we all know that with time, like nature, love will find a way. The very last part of this book is proof of love's determination. Not just between Maddox and Quinn but EVERYONE. The way this ends will probably be enough for many but not me. I HAVE to see what happens next. I'm heartbroken and hopeful. I haven't felt both of those feelings simultaneously in a long time. - Author Eden Forte
Days later, I am still dealing with emotions that will linger with me for a very long time. Why? Well, Nola writes a storyline that is one that is not always welcomed, accepted and understood. She gives us a story that is so emotional that I honestly had to put it down and think about what I was reading. Shed My skin is given in a single POV from Maddox Masters, the billionaire bad boy that I fell in love with in book one. His story is one that will rip your heart out and leave you feeling gutted. - Bookstagrammer
I wish I could give Maddox a big hug and show him that he deserves happiness and love! - Bookstagrammer
WARNING: This book is not for the faint of heart. It will tear your heart out and stomp on it before putting it back together. The characters are not perfect, and the heroes are flawed. If you’re looking for sunshine and rainbows, I suggest you try another book. But if you want real emotion with a happily ever after, then you’ve found your book.

About the author

Louisiana-born and raised Nola Marie loves spicy crawfish, rock music, high drama, and all the glitter, despite being extremely introverted with a severe case of anxiety. As a child, she preferred her imaginary friends to real ones and fiction to reality, a condition that has lingered and grown, and in 2019, she decided to share the voices in her head with the world.
When she's not writing, she can be found with her nose in some other fictional world or having conversations with people no one else can see, but it's okay. She's a writer ;-)
Feel free to find her and yell about her dramatic character through Instagram or Facebook. She loves to hear from you.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022Shed My Skin (part 1 of duet) book 5 of Sons of Sin series by Nola Marie.
I know Maddox Masters was going to be the most difficult character's to read, but I wasn't ready for what Nola gave us. I LOVED IT!!!
She reached in and ripped my heart out, and she still has it in her hand while 😭😭💔 waiting for Breath Again 2 part of the duet to give it back to me.
Maddox Masters finally has his full voice and storytime. He meets his match in Quinn..... I love this girl so much, I just wanted to reach in and hug them both.
This book is a lot about Mads so much angst it's really intense, heartbreaking, and so much pain, mistrust, but the love of his friends is constant.
Ohhhh boy did he have some stuff to tell us!!! His soul was full of pain beyond the point of endurance. He kept his secrets deep inside while helping everyone else, because that's who he was. Maddox loved his band mates and close friends to pieces.
Quinn is Verity cousin, she also has her own painful past, their souls just clicked and their chemistry was instant and so HOT.
Can their relationship survive all these obstacles? Will Maddox make it out of this darkness he is in?
This book is so freaking good, kudos to Nola for pulling all this incredibly complicated topics together, and making a novel you should be so proud of 👏👏👏🥰.
This story does have drug use, sexual abuse, and more, if you have triggers you might want to skip it.
1st person and dual POV.
Loved seeing the rest of the boys and their ladies and kids.
Book ends in cliffhanger, book 2 continues Maddox and Quinn's story in Breath Again release Nov 1st.
Highly recommend this novel, and all the books in this series. They are incredible.
Thank you Nola for my ARC, review is giving voluntarily.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023I first met Maddox Masters in The River City Series Book 1 and it was instant dislike. I was surprised when I began The Sons of Sin which is a spin off of TRC because the core characters Angel, Dane,Jake, and Ryder didn't seem to know the same Maddox. It all seemed so fragmented I didn't understand.
Not one big on spoilers I shall only say that Nola Marie is quite the crafty sorceress with her writing as my opinions about Maddox began to change with Jake and Ryder's book. That at the end of this cliffy I am now loving this character and have to know what happens next.
I will say its one of the most emotional books I have read in awhile. Definitely read the authors website trigger warnings page if you need those and have a box of tissues with you.
If I could do so I would give this book 19 stars. The only reason it wouldn't get 20 is there are Journal pages written in light gray cursive that's impossible to read on my Kindle.
I would highly recommend reading both series in order to get the full depth of what the author has done with the character of Maddox.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2022This book has me twisted in knots.. These are the last book and the stories he has told have been filled with so much pain. It is no wonder he wants relief from the pain, the voices, the visions. He just wants to be quiet.
Enjoy
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022Shed My Skin is book 5 in the Sons of Sin series by Nola Marie. It is part one of the story of Maddox masters. This book is not for the faint of heart and has many triggers regarding abuse and substance use. Please know this going in.
Where do I begin with this review? I think I held my breath through this entire book. I still have not recovered. Shed My Skin is the perfect title for this book because it is told from Maddox's pov, describing all the events of his tortured life leading up to the final chapter. Maddox has been taken against his will to rehab with his brother Bastian. Maddox is determined this will not work because he doesn't want to be clean and sober. He states it's only a matter of time before the addiction will win again. He "escapes" his brother's home and goes on a journey to say goodbye to his friends and family. As Maddox holes up in a hotel room he takes you on the story of his sad and tormented life knowing the end is near.
This book consumed me. I had to put it down at times because it was too much all at once. After reading this how can you not love Maddox? He is a beautiful, tortured soul who needs to accept all the love around him and not push it away. He deserves to be loved as much as he loves others. I loved this book!! I can't wait for the conclusion.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022Nola Marie’s Shed My Skin is a story that will keep you riveted to the book from page one. She portrayed Maddison Masters’ personality with depth and perception that one rarely finds in a book. This story is a back and forth between the past and present, as it reveals Maddy’s life and what formed his perceptions and reactions to life events. Mads’ life is a tragic train wreck that began before he was born and continued throughout his life, where he became assaulted with one trauma after another.
(Location 615) Maddox says,
“My life has been a series of tragedies. Heartbreak and loss have followed me-stalked me like a predator. But it has always come by my hand.”
His story tells of undiagnosed mental illness, child abuse, family issues, and the use of addictions to cope with life and quiet the white noise in his head. He feels he has always been second best and never truly loved until he meets Quinn. The twists and turns kept me turning page after page as tears fell as I read about how Maddy suffered. He had tried to commit suicide when reality became too much to endure. The book ends on a cliffhanger, but you will want to read the next book to see how Maddison’s life plays out. Nola Marie will give you a HEA, so trust her pen will write out a new beginning for my new favorite bandmember of the Sons of Sin band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning
Shed My Skin
This is not a romance.
If you go into this expecting a romance like the other Sons of Sin books, you will be surprised, but not disappointed.
Maddox’s story is heartbreaking and gut wrenching, and Nola relays it with raw honesty. Nothing is glossed over, though at times I wish it were, but neither are any of the difficult parts exploited for the sake of a reaction.
By the end of Shed My Skin, which is part one of Maddox’s story, you might sit back, as I did, and feel the need to read it again through a different lens.
And I will. Eventually. Perhaps before Part 2 comes out.
I’ll be recovered by then.
I can’t say too much more without giving it away, but I’ll leave you with this.
It’s stunning.
I’m impressed as hell at Nola’s portrayal of this fragile, sensitive, man.
And I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Part 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Maddox story was a long waited for one. He stole a piece of my heart from the first he appeared in the series. I knew he would be hardest to read. In the other books he would make me laugh. But I shed more then a few tears with this book. I cant wait for the conclusion of his story. I couldnt put down the book til I read it cover to cover. Nola amazing work as always. Got pulled right into the story from the first chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars I need more
A Heartbreaking, gorgeous page turner with the boy who has intrigued me from the beginning...
You can read this story as a standalone duet or as part of the Sons of Sins series... If you want backstory please please pleae read the series...however it is not fully necessary just recommended
This book reached new heights in darker contemporary books for me...in a good way. The matters the author addresses in this book are dealt with realistically yet sensitively containing jaw dropping and yet captivating moments.
This story kept me reading and left me annoyed when I had to step away.
Favourite characters return in this book and they make you question why you like them, remind you why you love them and also want to shake them at times...and do not even get me started on our broken boy...
Oh and the cliff hanger...my god that cliff hanger...wow what a way to make you need more... anticipating book 2 of this beautiful duet
- Michelle DuncanReviewed in Canada on April 3, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars incredible start of the duet to end this series
I have read a lot of books in the last 30 months and have to say this one the most to be emotionally compared to any other book I have read.
It is beautiful, crushing, tragic, steamy, inspirational. It is so many things twisted up into a story that I know came from the depths of the soul of this author. I can't wait for part two.
