Book #2: Sin's Daughter

I'm not really sure what came over me when I downloaded this, because it doesn't sound like anything I would like, the reviews weren't great, and (as someone who admittedly judges books by their covers on a regular basis) that cover is seriously trashy. Should've heeded all of those warnings, because this wasn't really worth my time.

This novella/short story (I'm counting this + the last short story I read as 1 book) is a prequel to Eve Silver's Otherkin trilogy. I'm honestly not sure if this was written and released before the first book, or if was done after. I would wager a guess that it was after, because that would explain the lack of... well, everything. There wasn't any background information, and I felt like I was already supposed to know who the main characters were. If I'd read the first book in the trilogy, I guess I would have.

From what I can tell, these books are about a couple (Amber and Kai) who are both immortal and involved in some sort of "underworld" shenanigans that occasionally bring them to the "topworld." OK. Something happened a long time ago with them, and they fell in love, then they both died... or "died"... then they meet again many years later, although they haven't aged. That's where this story picks up.

It was slow to get started, but then it picked up a lot. I sort of even almost enjoyed it for a while, but then it turned into complete softcore porn. Once Amber and Kai gave in to their "we used to be together, but now I hate you, but really I love you" tension, the rest of the story awkwardly gross.

So, yes. Don't read this. You're welcome.
