"Field trips could be deadly for Eve Hollis"

Fresh Fiction Review

Eve Of Destruction
S.J. Day

Reviewed by Loa Ledbetter
Posted August 30, 2009

Romance Paranormal | Fantasy Urban

Evangeline Hollis isn't your normal student. She is going to school to hunt demons, for God. It's an elite program. One can only be accepted by sinning, and then becoming a full-fledged Mark. As a Mark, Eve has no choice but to hunt down and kill demons. And her sin; Cain, the sizzling man she lost her virginity to and who is in love with her.

When her class goes on a week-long field trip to an abandoned military base, the schooling suddenly becomes extremely hands on. Someone, or something, is killing off her classmates, one by one. As classmates die off gruesomely, and her instructor becomes one of the possible body count, Eve struggles to solve the mystery to who is behind the killings, as well as try to keep safe and ignorant a group of civilian ghost hunters who have arrived at the base, all while battling her own physical changes. She must do all of this on her own as Cain is sent away on an assignment and her handler, Cain's brother Abel, is away tracking a deadly demon himself.

EVE OF DESTRUCTION by S.J. Day is the second book in the Marked series. It is well written with mystery and well detailed scenes, which include fierce fights and scorching interactions between Eve and Cain, as well as Eve and Abel.

SUMMARY

When you're learning to hunt demons, homework can be hell...

Class is in, but Evangeline Hollis is far from being the star pupil. She's struggling to get through the required training to be a full-fledged Mark -- one of thousands of sinners forced to hunt demons for God. When her class goes on a week-long field trip to an abandoned military base, passing the course suddenly isn't just a matter of pride... it's a matter of life and death. There's a demon hidden among them, killing off Eve's classmates one by one.

As the body count rises, a ragtag team of ghost hunters from a cable TV program unwittingly stumbles into the carnage. Now keeping the Mark system secret competes with the need to keep the "paranormal researchers" alive. With Cain on assignment and Abel investigating a new, terrifying class of demon, Eve must fly solo on her hunt to stop a killer before he strikes again.
