Having survived (more or less -- being painfully brought back to life counts as surviving, right?) the rigors of her introduction to the world of the Marked, where human sinners are transformed into demon hunters on a mission from God, overseen by the Archangels, Evangeline Hollis is off to "boot camp." While her lover, Abel, is assigned to hunt down a particular rouge demon, his brother, Cain, is pulled in to help when the trainees in Eve's group are murdered in particularly horrific ways --...

Demon hunter Evangeline Hollis has an incredibly complicated life already -- she's torn between her attraction and affection for Cain and Abel; she's still a person of interest in a police investigation into a series of homicides in Orange County; and she has not only attracted the attention of Satan himself, but also has to meet the 'rents: Adam and Eve. Chaotic high-octane fun with a different slant on urban fantasy.

This impressed me and I can't wait to get my hands on the next two books. I love how different this was and how full of action it was. It is always great to find a new author and I just wish that I had gotten hold of this one earlier.

There's something about those "Eve" books by S.J. Day that seems to have captivated me, a new genre that you could probably call "sexy urban demon fantasy" or something like that.

This was a very entertaining and well-written urban fantasy. Day's vivid and imaginative world revolves around a complex hierarchy of angels and archangels, demons, fairies, and shapeshifters hidden among clueless mortals. (And yes, the appendix for deciphering the bureaucracy of Heaven comes in handy.)

Todays review is on S.J. Day's Marked series. There are three books Eve of Darkness, Eve of Destruction, and Eve of Chaos. I really enjoyed this series and thought is was wonderful. I am hoping there will be more books released in this series.

Eve of Destruction is the rare sophomore effort that is even better than the original novel. I found myself turning the pages as fast as I could get through them, wondering what was around each corner and enjoying every turn.

All in all, Eve of Destruction is a great addition to the Evangeline Hollis story. Since this isn't a trilogy, but an ongoing series (apparently, anyway), it doesn't suffer from any kind of "second-book syndrome." It's a fun, quick read, and as long as you're not quick to be offended by taking Christian figures and situations and playing around with them, this series so far is worth the effort.
