Eve of Darkness (Marked, Book 1)

Written by S.J. Day

Average Score: 60(3)

Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel... All in a day's work.

For Evangeline Hollis, a long ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain.

Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted into service to kill demons, Eve's learning curve is short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She's also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history...

But she'll worry about all that later. Right now she's more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she'd never believed she had.

Review Rating: 60
A fresh take on the mythos of urban/paranormal fantasies, and one that should be exciting and engaging to anyone who enjoys a world very much like ours but with just a bit more darkness, danger, and demons.

Where this book is strong, it's pretty good. But where it's not, it really shows. I wanted to like this much more than I did, and I honestly believe the author has a lot of potential.
