Luc Cain was born and raised in Hell, but he isn’t feeling as demonic as usual lately—thanks to Frannie Cavanaugh and the unique power she never realized she had. But you can’t desert Hell without consequences, and suddenly Frannie and Luc find themselves targeted by the same demons who used to be Luc’s allies.

Left with few options, Frannie and Luc accept the protection of Heaven and one of its most powerful angels, Gabe. Unfortunately, Luc isn’t the only one affected by Frannie, and it isn’t long before Gabe realizes that being around her is too…tempting. Rather than risk losing his wings, he leaves Frannie and Luc under the protection of her recently-acquired guardian angel.

Which would be fine, but Gabe is barely out the door before an assortment of demons appears—and they’re not leaving without dragging Luc back to Hell with them. Hell won’t give up and Heaven won’t give in. Frannie’s guardian exercises all the power he has to keep them away, but the demons are willing to hurt anyone close to Frannie in order to get what they want. It will take everything she has and then some to stay out of Hell’s grasp.

And not everyone will get out of it alive.

Thoughts:

After reading Personal Demons and thoroughly enjoying it, I could not wait to get my hands on Original Sin. I am thrilled to say that Lisa Desrochers did not disappoint!

Once again, the characters in Original Sin came to life on the page and kept me entranced until the bitter end. Their growth in Original Sin was a much needed addition and Mrs. Desrochers mastered this aspect of their journey.

It’s extremely hard for me to portray my enjoyment of this book without including spoilers, but trust me when I say… READ IT. If you’re unsure about it, then borrow it, but you owe it to yourself to at least give this series a try!

Oh.. I can’t sign off without adding my two cent comments for the characters, so here they are:

Luc, oh Luc… you are such a pain in my heart! So stubborn and yet so damn hawte!

Frannie, you need a good slap once in a while, but I am extremely happy that you finally came to your senses.

And Matt… what the hell were you thinking?

Rating:  4.5/5!
