Product Description
Santa Louisa is still reeling from the lethal rampage of the demon Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins released from Hell by black magic. The fiendish entity was finally trapped, but when more bodies bearing satanic marks surface in Los Angeles, demon hunter Moira O’Donnell fears the terror has only just begun.
Racing to L.A., Moira discovers that the City of Angels is fast becoming the demon Lust’s decadent playground. She suspects another coven is at work, aided indirectly by her diabolical mother, the powerful witch Fiona. But when Moira’s unwanted psychic powers intensify, she fears her connection to the underworld is putting everyone she cares about in grave danger.
As supernatural war erupts, Moira and smoldering, seductive Rafe Cooper are caught in the crossfire. Cornered by mortal and unearthly enemies, they must master all their own powers to survive—and to understand if the intensely passionate feelings that bind them are Lust’s demon magic or true desire.

Carnal Sin, Review by Jessage Larsen
29 Sep 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Moira O'Donnel has recently defeated the demon incarnation of Envy. Unfortunately for her and her friends, the other six of the seven deadly sins are still free to do as they please and reek havoc upon the world. All Moira can do is hope that they located the demons before they start killing even more people raising the death count. The demons have other plans though and before they know it, more people are dying and it looks to be the doing of Lust. Moira, Anthony, Skye, Rafe, and Rico set out immediatly to attempt the banishing of yet another deadly sin whilst simultaneously trying to find the location of the evil book that allowed the release of hell on earth in the first place.
Meanwhile, Detective Grant Nelson has begun to investigate some deaths that continue to rise in perplixity and general strangeness. The bodies are adding up and all of them seem to have a few too manty things in common. The bodies are all marked with a very similar yet not quite identical mysterious tattoo; died after a sexual encounter; and seemed to be under the influence of an unknown drug, but tox screen are all coming back clean and thus the deaths are being ruled as simple cardiac arrest. Grant needs to figure out what exactly is going on and he better figure it out fast.
Carnal Sin is the second book in an ongoing series that so far focuses on one of the seven deadly sins in each book. The first book is titled Original Sin and is based upon the sin of Envy. Carnal Sin gives a little bit of background and then unfolds a tale of the capture and banishment of Lust. The story is a mix of law enforcement drama and the idea that the Christian Church has a ministry set up for the purpose of banishing all things sent from hell as well as getting rid of problematic black worshippers such as witches and satanists.
I enjoyed the story and the style of writing and am probably going to be picking up a copy of Original Sin even if it does mean reading the story in a backwards sort of way. I will also be keeping an eye out for the third in this series to see how the story progresses and where characters are going to end up. I stayed up all night reading this book as I just couldn't tear myself away long enough to get some sleep til I finished it. It's a very intriguing and entertaining read.

Second in the Seven Deadly Sins Series Delivers!
1 Sep 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am really loving Allison Brennan's foray into paranormal romance!
This second in the series (following Original Sin) finds Rafe, Moira, and team up against the demon Lust. When the coroner's office reports strange marks on a handful of bodies in the Los Angeles morgue, Sheriff Skye McPherson travels to the City of Angels with Moira on hand to check them out. Sure that the mark is that of another of the newly released Seven Deadly Sins, Moira and Rafe stay behind to try and track the demon and hopefully trap it. As the demon wreaks havoc on the city, though, Anthony is sent to Venice where he makes some startling discoveries about the coming battle.
As with Original Sin, Brennan combines police procedural with dark paranormal elements and romance to bring urban fantasy and paranormal romance fans a satisfying and original read.

All I can say is "Wow."
14 July 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read a lot of books with demon killers, dragon slayers, and vampire hunters. But, Moira O'Donnell in Allison Brennan's 7 Deadly Sins series is the best kickass heroine ever. Added to that, Brennan has given her a hero worthy of her - Rafe Cooper. Yum!!
I love that Moira has fears and doubts. It makes her more real to acknowledge them. This latest book - Carnal Sin - is Brennan's sexiest one yet, which no doubt comes from the fact that Moira and Rafe are trying to stop the demon Lust.
I enjoyed Moira's worries that what she feels for Rafe may just be a byproduct of the demon Lust running around wrecking havoc. On top of that, Moira and Rafe are running around and from the police, dealing with demons and witches, which the police are so not going to believe.
Brennan dug deep for this one with its underlying concern with what happens when we die. Can souls be redeemed? Can people repent with their dying breath? It was a very enjoyable read with deep thoughts to think about long after the last page is read.
