Cin Craven was descended from a long line of witches. Her
powers were immense and they have only increased since she
became a vampire. Cin loved Michael even though their
status was so far apart. When he transforms her into a
vampire, Cin knows that their love will last forever. She
and Michael are part of the Righteous, a band of slayers
that hunt down vampires who inflict evil on the world.
Their friends, Justine and Devlin, are also slayers. They
will travel with Drake, a representative of the High King to
Marrakesh.
Their latest mission is to determine whether the rumors of
the Queen of the Western lands killing people are true.
Their task is more difficult when they discover a beautiful
woman, Bel, at court. She seems to be doing her best to
entice the King away from his wife. Cin is drawn to the
Queen and finds it hard to believe that she is responsible
for the deaths. However, the blackouts the Queen is
experiencing seem to indicate her guilt.
Cin and Michael will be forced to deal Drake and his
determined effort to seduce Cin. Bel does her best to
seduce Michael or any man who will do her bidding. They
will also face a band of vampires who have decided to take
over the city. Cin will have to deal with a darkness which
could cause her to lose control and destroy all around her.
Throw in a werewolf and Cin's scary aunt and you have the
making of an enjoyable story.
While not a fan of vampire books, there was enough suspense
and humor to keep my interest in GRAVE SINS. The characters
were
intriguing without being too outrageous. While it is obvious
that it is a sequel to another book, it stands on its own
very well.
In the arms of her lover Michael, Cin Craven
has found satisfaction for her most primal longings,
reaching heights of pleasure no mere human could ever
imagine. She has also found a purpose for her unearthly
powers. Cin is a member of The Righteous, a band of slayers
that hunts down vampires who inflict evil upon the world.
With Michael by her side, Cin’s latest mission brings her
face-to-face with Marrakesh, a beautiful, half-mad vampire
queen charged with slaughtering humans. If she’s found
guilty, Marrakesh will pay with her life. But Cin is
convinced that someone —or something—far more
ruthless is trying to steal the queen’s throne.. It’s a
mission that will pit Michael and Cin against each other
for the first time, awakening their darkest instincts and
testing their love like never before…
