My favorite story as I loved Mal the best of the 3 brothers from the very beginning... However it is also my least favorite couple pairing which takes away some of the enjoyment.... Mal Krayl wants the world to see him as someone who only wants a good time, what he does not want is for anyone to see past that shield he has erected to keep himself from emotional pain! Having lost his "love hundreds of years ago he has since then connected only physically and never emotionally with his bed partner...more

In Sins of the Flesh it's final Soul Reaper son of Sektet Mal's turn to take a stab at solving the mystery behind the brutal - and supposedly impossible - death of his brother Lokan. While hunting for clues Mal vies with Calliope Kane to gain possesion of a man who may have the answers Mal seeks and the answers the daughter of Asset seek to surpress. Calliope's hatred of Soul Reapers is much more than the bad blood between their patron gods - Callipoe's reasons are far more personal. As adversar...more
DNF. I bought this on sale at audible months ago not realizing it was book 3 in a series that MUST be read in order. After about 10% into this one I was so lost. I may pick up the first two some day if they ever make the sale, but what I listened to didn't exactly peek my interest anyway.

'Sins of the Flesh' was, IMO, marginally better than the previous 'Sins of the Soul', but I do think this series is falling a bit short of what it could be.
The highlight of the 'Otherkin' books for me is still the first, 'Sins of the Heart' - Eve Silver did a pretty good job of world building and Dagan Krayl remains my favorite soul reaper brother. In both SotS and SotF, I feel that Silver missed a golden (ha!) opportunity to really help the reader get to know Alastor and Mal, respectively. Bot...more

I am so glad I stuck with this series! These books just keep getting better and better. Mal, Alastor and Dagan still haven't solved the mystery of their brother Lokan's death. Alastor and Dagan are each mated to a Daughter of Aset. And now, it's Mal's turn.
Calliope has no idea who or what Mal is when she approaches him in a bar. She only knows that she needs to feed from the energy of a man and she'd rather use sex than blood to get her fill. Since Mal is essentially sex on a stick, he seems a p...more

Malthus has has a policy about women, he loves them and leaves them, but when one woman leaves him she intrigues him and when their paths cross again he's compelled to find out more about Calliope, who hates soul reapers and is determined to get her way, without his help.

First book that I’ve read by Eve Silver and I see I’ve started with book number 3. The Egyptian theme overrode my doubts about reading another man whore novel since it’s not my favourite theme by the longest stretch.

Book 3 in the OtherKin series is all about the 3rd brother, Mal. We get to dive further into the mystery and suspense of the death of Lokan and all the players that are intertwined with it. This mystery just get more and more twisted, and the big finale of it all is just amazing!

This is book three of the Otherkin trilogy. If I am not mistaken, book three of a trilogy means 'its a wrap'. Not the case here. Although I love Ms. Silver's writing (for the most part) and the story concept, I am very disappointed in the ending.
The main characters -- Mal and Calliope were introduced in the first book. They hooked up in this book pretty much following the same script as the previous books. I simplify but basically it was a template that worked well through three books. Ms. Silve...more

TRAMA: Crudele, spietato, sanguinario, Malthus Krayl è abituato a lottare per sopravvivere e a uccidere per ottenere ciò che vuole. E ora il suo obiettivo è scoprire chi ha assassinato e smembrato suo fratello Lokan. Concentrato sulla missione, non è disposto a concedersi alcuna distrazione. Finché non trova sul proprio cammino Calliope Kane. Fredda e calcolatrice come lui, fin dal primo istante l'enigmatica guerriera delle Figlie di Aset si rivela pane per i suoi denti. Per giunta accende in lu...more
This was the story of Mal, a soul reaper, and Calliope, both characters we had seen in the previous stories. In this book we get closer to Sutekh's three sons finding their brothers remains to try to bring him back to life. Calliope, like the mates of his two brothers, is also a daughter of Aset, who has grown up with an immense hatred of the soul reapers. As the two of them get wrapped up in finding clues and witnesses to Lokan's death, they begin to feel a connection that neither expected. I p...more
Wow what an ending! After reading Sins of the Flesh I was so glad I had already picked up Body of Sin, the next book in the series. If not I would've been making a trip to B&N tonight. This book was action packed, funny in places and smoking hot in others. I loved Mal and Calliope together. They had such great chemistry and her severe dislike of him in the beginning was great. What a way to even the battle field. Loved it. I'd been hoping we would get more of Calliope after Roxy's book becau...more
I enjoyed Mal story as much as I enjoyed Dagan's and Alastor's. Malthus finds in Calliope his perfect match, a woman as strong as he is. Again, they go through a lot of ups and downs, there're secrets, problems and treachery. As expected, all ends well.
Being already familiar to Eve Silver's strange mixture of mithology, it was easier to focus only in the story, which made this third book an enjoyable reading. Unfortunately, I had already read the fourth book, Body of Sin, before, so I already kn...more

Eve Silver has been added to my must read list!! For her third book in the Otherkin Trilogy I was awe-struck. Finally I could find the end of the story coming together and then Eve Silver adds the next big puzzle piece to look forward to.

The third book of the Otherkin series is about the last—alive—son of Sutekh: Mal. We get a little glimpse of Mal in the first too books, and I—and Maeva too—was crazy to read about him and discover who would be his mate. After Dagan and Alastor mating process with two Daughters of Aset, I already had an idea that Mal would mate with one of them too. It seems Sutekh’s sons have a soft side for those girls.

The final book in the Otherkin trilogy answers the questions of who killed Lokan and Lokan's fate. Mal and Calliope are the main characters in Sins of the Flesh. Although they did have some chemistry they didn't seem as interesting as the other romances in the first two books. My main disappointment is the ending. Really? That's it? It was very abrupt and after being so invested with the Krayl brother's it's a let down. I kept flipping the pages past the last chapter thinking surely there must b...more
Wow! Out of the three books in this series so far (there is one more apparently) this was the best! I found this to be a fast moving, engaging installment and well worth the read. There were a few intimate scenes, but for the most part they actually fit the storyline better than in the first couple of books so I did not mind. Lokin was the major focus of this book and the plot was heavily driven by finding out if his brothers could get him back. I am not going to give anything away, but Sutekh i...more
Sins of the Flesh The Third book In Eve Silvers Otherkin trilogy Continues the story with Malthus and Calliope as the Romantic duo. I have to say that this book was my favorite out of the all 3. From the moment I started reading it I was engaged in the story and didn’t want to put it down. Calliope and Malthus brought tension and action to the storyline in such a way that it kept me wanting more and more and wondering what would happen next. Eve Silver did a fantastic job of bringing the storyli...more
~ 3 to 3.5 stars ~ For me this was the best of the Otherkin books. Mal and Callie had personality, substance and humour, which I felt was really lacking in the first two books, so fingers crossed that trend will continue into the next book. I still don't like Ms Silvers writing style, for me her characters tend to come across wooden and dull and it frustrates me because I want to immerse myself in this really interesting world she has created, I want 3D, surround sound, technicolor glory when i...more
Not My Favorite in the Series
Malthus Krayl, now the youngest of the three remaining soul reaper sons of Sutekh, überlord of the Underworld, is the only one of his brothers who doesn't think they are going to be able to bring their murdered brother Lokan back from the dead. The adrenaline junkie with a bad boy Lothario complex a mile wide keeps that opinion on the down low, however, because he's right on board with both Dagan and Alastor about finding whomever is responsible for that death and ma...more

This was my favorite novel from the trilogy. I really liked the relationship bewteen Mal and Calliope more than any of the other brothers. The story seemed to flow better than the previous novels as well (not that I'm in any way complaining about the prior novels!)

Sins of the Flesh is the 3rd and final book in the Otherkin trilogy. It tells the story from Malthus Krayl's perspective. The search for their brother's soul and killer continues.

Eve Silver has gained a new fan, I really enjoyed Sins of the Flesh and just wish I had read the two previous Otherkin novels (Sins of the Heart and Sins of the Soul) I own the first in the series, but didn't have the opportunity to read it , and now I plan on buying the second. Despite not having read the previous installments, Sins of the Flesh works as a stand alone. I wasn't thrown by the series storyline arc as Silver deftly weaved the background into her story.

The three books of the Otherkin Trilogy together tell the tale of the sons of the Egyptian underworld god, Sutekh and their quest to discover the identity of their youngest brother’s murder. There are clues and hints that help are woven into each story (especially in the first book) that are necessary if you are like me and want to figure out “whodunit” before the author tells you.

“Mal dragged the last few inches of the sword free of his flesh, wincing at the raw pain. She's stabbed him. She'd f**king pinned him to the wall like a bug. She'd fed from him and used his own blood and power against him. He hadn't seen that coming. He was both affronted by - and admiring of - her resourcefulness.”
