This brand new to me series luckily came out with the Free e-book version of the prequel story and I snapped it up to read.. Just finished and this is the coolest short story ever, it has the neatest paranormal twists for the two main characters Kai and Amber that has ever come to my attention in a long time... The story if full of action, hot sweaty sex and some of the most honest give and take between the male and female lead in a book in a very long while... I cannot wait to dive into the ful...more

Wow! I enjoyed this short story, immensely. It had a fast pace, with action in the right places and the right amount of spiced up passion. Sin's Daughter was a great setup story for the Otherkin Trilogy, it laid the ground work out nicely with plenty of hints of intrigues to come. I can't wait to get my hands on the first book, Sins of the Heart!
It was okay. The story happened in a two day span. Basically it gives the prolog of the boyfriend (Kai) dying and assuming that it was the result of his girlfriend Amber. But while dying he’s given a choice. So the story begins where Amber is running away from people she calls hunters. While defending herself someone comes to help to her so she assumed until the person takes his hand which have turned into claws and takes out the man’s heart. This person turns out to be Kai her ex-boyfriend. The...more

Sin’s Daughter is a short prequel of the Otherkin series—but you can read it before, during or after reading the series, it doesn’t make any difference, once there’s no big spoilers of the series on this 8 chapters story (reason why I didn’t post the ‘attention’ warning at the beginning of this post). We get to see a little bit of Kai on Sins of the Flesh, but we would never ever imagine what happened to him if it wasn’t for Sin’s Daughter....more

I recently read Sins of the Heart, book 1 in the Otherkin Trilogy and was lucky enough to get this novella for free @ Amazon.
Sins Daughter, a prequel to the Otherkin Trilogy, introduces us to Amber Hale, who is on the run from "Hunters". She's been hunted by them all her life and has no idea why. Fifty years ago, she was in love with Kai Warin. Amber and Kai both believe that the other betrayed them. They've held onto that feeling of betrayal all these years, so when they unexpectedly meet agai...more

This wasn't terrible; I don't want to imply that you shouldn't give the book, author, or series a shot. But for me it was just too short, too predictable, and frankly, just not memorable. For a romance, I found it way too lacking in dramatic tension. I see that others have enjoyed this author more. Maybe her full-length novels are a better choice.
ok - I didn't realize this is part of a series. Now that I know that, this wasn't that bad. I am a little lost, however, if I had read some the first book, this may have gotten more stars. I might actually go back and get the first book and be hooked on a new series.
I did like it. It was a good brief story that made me want to read more of the stories in the series. Just too short to really flesh out the characters as it was my first exposure to them or the type of setting these books are in.
It served it's purpose - to tweak my interest in this series. Although this was very brief, it got me interested, and I can't wait to start on book 1.
Nice prequel to the Otherkin series. This is quickly becoming one of my go-to series for well-written, original paranormal romance. Love this universe.
To... put it plainly... I did not like this book.
Perhaps I should have read the main story first, then read this prequel, but I did not like it one bit.
It moved fast, it zoomed through days. Doubts and mysteries were solved just like that (WTF!?) The sex scene wasn't really needed for such a short book... It read out somewhat like fanfiction.
I do not doubt that I would have enjoyed this book better had I read the main story first, then I'd know just what the confusion and confrontation was about...more

Too short to get more stars, but interesting enough to make me read the next one.
This a good quick read.The story flowed so well I did not even know it was the 5th book in the series till I went to write this review. Good book for those nights you just can't get to sleep.
4 stars. Review to come.

Cute, but short. It's a good opening to the first book in the series. However, it isn't necessary and doesn't really give any extra back story to the first book.
Short, sweet, and to the point! No messing around with tons of background, but I didn't really miss it. I got the gist of the story from what's written. This is basically a short recap and reunion of two lovers who both thought the other betrayed them. It sets up the series nicely and introduced you to a handful of what I'm assuming are characters from upcoming books.
This was a pretty good short story. It was a small read, but didn't feel rushed.
Coming into this short story without having read anything else in this series, I found it interesting with intriguing characters and demons, which I pretty much love all the time. I guess that means I'll be reading more in this series in the future.

New author to me. The story was good. I liked how the world is created. Kind of reminds me of Gena Showalter with Demons, gates to prevent from opening and one bad mistake of a forsaken lover. Good set up for me to try this series.
This was a short story prequel to the Otherkin series. It was very short. I didn't feel like we had time to really get to know the characters, but it was a good story. It will be interesting to see how this plays into book #2.
I thought this story was well written and made me curious about reading the Otherkin books. The only thing I found odd was the inclusion of not one but two sex scenes(one was rather graphic) in such a short piece of fiction.
I read this after book 4 so I knew going in how it was going to play out so no suspense for me. It was enjoyable and I really liked both Kai and Amber. This could definitely have benefitted from more details.
Molto carino questo prequel di Eve Silver della saga "Otherkin".
It was a well written story. It kept my attention and the plot had enough twists and turns that it was never boring. I would highly recommend this book.
I figured out the ending just a few pages in. Not a real fan of books that end just as I though they would, I like a few plot twists along the way.
Good quickie that gives some backgrounds on a secondary character in the series;-)
Short but a good story. Different from the other PNRs I've read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
I really liked this short story but I recommend reading it AFTER you finish the main trilogy :-)
