Fallen Book

WOW! I just finished this book. I had to take a few minutes to absorb the story, the ending, and come back to the real world. This is a weighty story. It's about love, murder, revenge, power, lust, forgiveness, innocence, and absolution. All this in 302 pages of engrossing reading. I couldn't put it down...definately another for my keeper shelf.

This is book two in the Seven Deadly Sins series by Erin McCarthy. DON'T pick up this book if you're looking for a light-hearted, humorous romance like her Vegas vampires series. This book will make you think...I'm still thinking!

Gabriel is damned. Once an angel, now a demon (and a smoking hot one too). He is bound to New Orleans for losing himself in the addictions of flesh, alcohol and drugs. His living hell is his demon lure that causes women he touches to become obsessed with him and never be happy without him. After a relationship that ended in a murder while he was under the influence, he's been left wondering if he could have fallen so far as to kill. So for more than 160 years, he's cut himself off from everything and everyone...trying to serve penance.

Sara is the great-great-grand daughter of Gabriel's murdered lover. She's trying to solve the mystery of why the women in her family are violently murdered in a similar manner after bearing a daughter. She's also wondering if, and when, her time will come.

I don't want to give anything away, but I can say that I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in this series as I've heartily enjoyed books 1 & 2.
