Summery:
Haunted by chilling memories of demonic possession and murder, Moira O’Donnell has spent seven years hunting down her mother, Fiona, whose command of black magic has granted her unprecedented control of the underworld. Now Moira’s global search has led her to a small California town that’s about to become hell on earth.
Tormented by his own terrifying past and driven by powers he can’t explain, ex-seminarian Rafe Cooper joins Moira’s dangerous quest. But Fiona is one devilish step ahead. Hungry for greater power, eternal youth, and stunning beauty, the sorceress is unleashing upon the mortal world the living incarnations of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Together with a demonologist, a tough female sheriff, and a pair of star-crossed teenagers, Moira and Rafe are humanity’s last chance to snatch salvation from the howling jaws of damnation. -Goodreads.com
Review:
Just as Book Crazy Jenn stated, at first I wasn't sure that I was going to like this book at all. It takes a few pages to get into. It's almost like arriving halfway through a story. However, once the story gets rolling it's downright impossible to set this book down. Packed with action, this plot is filled with twists and turns. What I like most are the interactions between the characters, and there are plenty of them. Several characters have a love/hate relationship, which makes for interesting dialog. ;) Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and look forward to its sequel which will be released later this year. Another great review of Original Sin can be found at Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings.
Cover Art Commentary:
I find this cover to be somewhat ironic (in a whimsical manner) for this story...it's the whole evil witch/poisoned apple thing! I love it! :P
