The Blood of Cain mixes Christianity with fantasy for a very different kind of story. The vampire mythology in this book is unlike any I have ever read. The story focuses on the Biblical character Cain who is marked with silver eyes and is cursed to live his life alone until he inadvertently discovers a way to transform others. The story is told from the alternating perspective of Cain and modern day silver eyed Teagan. It's a face paced novel that could easily be read in one sitting.

Cain was the firstborn child of Adam and Eve, and also the First Murderer. Many interpreters suggested that Cain is the embodiment of evil for murdering his own brother, Abel. In this novel, the author views him from a different perspective. Through this book, we learn that Cain actually committed the crime out of jealousy because God favoured Abel over him and wouldn't accept his offering. He sinned and regretted his crime for thousands of years, not having to chance to rest in peace for God la

The Blood of Cain is another of those books that made me pause when I realized the story centered around the Bible, but like 33 A.D., the story does an excellent job of balancing Christianity and fiction.
The author does a great job of weaving together two separate, but connected stories. On one hand, you have the story of Cain, the first murderer, whose story begins in 8,000 B.C.; on the other hand, you have Teagan, whose story takes place in modern times. The blending, and eventual in More...

Cain murdered his brother, Abel. We've all heard the story. God turns his back on him and he is known for all time as the First Murderer. What if there's more to it than that? What if there's a chance for Cain's redemption? What if Cain finds a way to become immortal, surely he'll figure out how to make amends with God if he has all of time to search? Too late, Cain discovers immortality is the worst punishment God could have rendered.

What a wonderful book! Author T.L Gray took the biblical story of Cain and turned it into a story of fantasy and suspense. Using a combination of present day events and flashbacks spanning thousands of years to tell this fascinating story. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard stories of Cain being the first vampire, but I truly loved her unique take.
The pacing of The Blood of Cain was ideal, and the characters were engaging and well developed. I also loved the many different settings More...

Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ Genesis 4:9
‘The Blood of Cain’ by T.L. Gray, is probably one of the most thought provoking books that I have had the privilege of reading in quite a long time! The Blood of Cain is a marvellous work of fiction which can be either read as a simple and straight forward story, or as a story that has a very complex theological and thought provoking content.

This book starts off incredibly strong - very engaging. I couldn't put it down. Teagan is young & handsome, strong. The story of Cain is well thought out & makes complete sense throughout the entire story - kudos to the author for forming such great back story! About 3/4ths through, the fire begins to fizzle for me with Teagans story & I found myself looking forward to switching back to Cain's. The killer was a surprise which is always good - very unexpected! I like the authors take on vampires

Lots of twists and turns in this novel with a unique and fascinating take on the paranormal. The characters are not typical cardboard "vampires" but people with human feelings, emotions, and challenges who also battle the extra challenges of those who live forever. The story is spread over many centuries, but T. L. Gray's skill in handling the time span never confuses the reader.

The premise was great, the delivery was just okay for me. The characters & plot fell just a little bit flat.
