Kerrianna Anders was born with a special gift; the power to draw sins from people with just a touch upon their skin. For years she hated her gift and wanted only to escape it. However, when her grandmother, her only other family member passed away and she thought that she would finally be able to stop using her gift, Kerrianna was horrified to find that it wasn’t a gift at all; it was a curse. A curse passed down through her family lines for over a thousand years. Suddenly she realizes she hasn’t been helping people all these years as she had thought and that she was the last living Anders, the only one who could stop the sin eaters and their powerful leader, Drake Constitine.
Drake Constitine hated the Anders. Because of them, he and his people had been suffering the curse for over a thousand years. Now that there was only one Anders left, all he had to do was get rid of her and the curse would be broken. He never expected to find the last Anders woman to be so beautiful; so strong and surprisingly innocent. Now he had a choice; let her live and force his people to continue to endure their curse, or get rid of her and save his people. Show More Show Less
Kerrianna Anders has been born with the gift of absorbing people’s sins into herself with a touch. She has despised her gift for years and thinks that, with the death of her last family member, her grandmother, she can stop using it. Little does she know it is actually a curse that has been passed down through her family line for a millennium, Kerrianna being the final protection for the world against the sin eaters.
Drake Constitine is the darkly handsome cursed warlock and the leader of the sin eaters. He hates the Anders. They are the reason behind him and his kin being cursed for so long. After the death of her grandmother, Kerrianna has become the last living Anders, so her death could mean freedom from their suffering. What he does not predict is to be attracted to her or find her so innocent of the actual truth behind the curse.
After her grandmother’s death, a man shows up saying he used to work with her and tells Kerrianna the truth about her gift. He says that all sin eaters are evil and want her dead, which will free them from their curse. She is not expecting to be rescued by Drake, to hear another story behind the curse’s origins or to be attracted to him. So she has to decide which version is real…and whether danger is only from the sin eaters.
This story is a good choice to satisfy a craving for a quick paranormal romance that wraps up nicely and whose world still has possibilities for other stories. The concepts of the curse, sin eaters, hunters and beautiful lady are intriguing and rather distinctive. The relationship between Drake and Kerrianna starts off intense and fast, and its progression matches the tempo of the story. I enjoy this read, even if it seems to end abruptly.
This novella is sweet and full of paranormal "gifts." Follow the two destined enemies as they try to overcome centuries of distrust and fear to try and find that all illusive true love.

This is a sweet, fairy tale like story that I really enjoyed. Its a different spin on paranormal. Kerriana and Drake deal in sins. There is a centuries old curse that has gripped them both but they fall in love anyway. Its a very short read but I enjoyed it a great deal. If you like fairy tales, this is a great book to grab!
