I tried very hard to read this book as it seemed like a great concept and storyline. However, in my opinion, the actual writing style and complicated plot lines that confused me, made it a difficult read. I abandoned it about 50% of the way through as I felt it was not worth trying to complete.
Something new here in terms of theme – the mix of religion and sci-fi giving adventure a twist.
I thought it an interesting take on the ‘first contact’ theme and what you can and cannot do when you meet one of the many humanoid species out there in deep space.
So there is a new saint discovered in the 22nd century who has foretold another messiah with a new set of gospels demonstrating what s/he would be like and it is the mission of the Council to check all such reportings for veracity under the rules concerning first contact.
A reasonable story but didn’t inspire me to want to read more.
Preferably not.
The author attempts a snarky female heroine, but fails to pull it off convincingly.
The storyline is derivative of others – see angel blood – saviour of the universe and so on…
Q – So, what makes the Deadly Sins series special?
A – When I set out to write Angel Unborn, I wanted to write the kind of books I like to read. My favorites are usually paranormal romance novels with not only strong heroes but strong heroines who can stand on their own. I enjoy a great fantasy or science fiction novel as well. Basically, anything with a kick-butt attitude and a touch of something different that grabs my attention.
The Deadly Sins books are a great mix of these genres. You’ll find the series focuses on angels and demons but also features psychics, ghosts, the mythical gods, and other supernatural favorites. Either I have commitment issues, or I like to keep things interesting! I’d like to think it’s the latter.
Overall, the Deadly Sins series is designed to keep you turning the pages – and I’ve made sure there’s never a dull moment.
Q – What order should I read the books in?
A – I’ve written the series so you can read the books in any order (except for All Wicked’s Eve—it should be read after Demon Undamned). If you do want to read them in order, I’d suggest the following sequence:
– Angel Unborn
– Angel Redeemed (accompanying novelette to Angel Unborn)
– Angel Unleashed
– Hexed (novella that ties into Angel Unleashed)
– Demon Undamned
– All Wicked’s Eve
Q – So, why should readers give these books a try?
A – Because the Deadly Sins series is a fast, fun, humorous ride that takes no prisoners! Ultimately, readers who enjoy strong heroes, snarky heroines, and lightning-fast pacing with a plot that twists and turns all the way to the end will get a kick out of this series.
I used to love Science Fiction – in fact I still do, but so much I read is derivative of the Masters. Where is the next Frank Herbert and Dune? Where is Arthur C Clarke?
This author is not there yet. Good try but not quite good enough for me to read book 2.
