Narration In Pursuance Of Books Eve of Darkness (Marked #1)
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.

Sproingg...thud. That was the sound of me jumping on the "Eve of Darkness" bandwagon. S.J.Day has penned a fascinating tale twined around the ultimate legend regarding good and evil--the story of Cain and Abel. Of course, in Day's version the Bible didn't quite get the whole story...and so far neither do we. But I got enough hot sex, mythological mystery, and rumbling action to keep me glued to the pages.Eve lost her virginity to a rock-star, handsome and sexy stud on a Harley. Then heActual rating 3.5This is a very interesting take on Cain and Abel and the Mark of Cain. Im digging it
As I started the book the first thing I thought: Oh I grabbed the wrong book. *Susi goes to bookshelf and looks for the #1 book in the series* Yeah, OK reminder for me: Finish the first chapter before judging! Very cool thing to start a book with the end. I was a little confused but after that I wanted to know how Eve got herself in this situation and my addiction started.The story is very straight forward and pulled me right in this world full of biblical creatures and stars. I thought that
For those of you that are fans of Sylvia Day as much as I am, I want to mention that The Marked Series is being separated by her pseudonym S.J. Day because these books are unlike her other romance books. Although Eve of Darkness isnt exactly romance it is very adult! So I dont think fans will be disappointed at all its just different than Bared To You.Even though Eve of Darkness isnt like her normal books, I enjoyed it very much. The book begins when Eve, who has become part of a group called
I was really torn between giving Eve of Darkness three or four stars. From a quality standpoint, it's a 3 star book. In fact, I've read many better books that I've given 3 star ratings. But, 4 stars is labeled as "really liked it" and I did really like it. I had 4 books in progress at the same time and ended up setting all aside to read the last 1/3 of this one. I gave it brownie points for taking place on my home turf. Eve is a Huntington Beach resident who was raised in Anaheim. I live on the
The idea of the story is interesting and the characters aren't bad (for the most part), but I had problems with the instantaneous sex, the idea that God punishes women's sexuality by making childbirth so painful and the overdone love/sex triangle (although it kind of makes sense for Cain and Abel to want the same woman). I will probably read the next book at some point as I would like to see how everything shakes out.
Fun story, adult action. -1 star for launching with a rape to "install" the mark.
