Wages of Sin by Jenna Maclaine
4.0
I usually give the first book of the series 4 stars (rarely I give 5 stars)I do that because, even though the story was good, there still need more explanation which tell at the next book.
Dulcinea Macgregor Craven, or Dulcie,is a daughter of a Viscount, and she inherited magic from her mother, the famous Macgregor Witch.At one night, her parents got accident, and because of that Dulcie 's magic is awakened.In her mourning stage, her childhood friend, Sebastian come and want to marry her. When she refuse, Sebastian show his true color, a vampire. He bites Dulcie, and threatened Dulcie and her servants. If Dulcie doesn't want to join with him, he will kill her servants and friends.
Dulcie panic and then ask help to Mr Pendegrass, her mother's old friend, and an apothecary. His shop is service Witch's need for their magic and spell. When Archie, Mr Pendegrass's student, tell her there are a vampire band, call The Righteous, whose annihilated vampire that broken their law (kill human), Dulcie decided to ask for their help.
Dulcie call The Righteous, with her spell, and then one of The Righteous,come to her home. His name is Michael, called Devil's Archangel. He's so handsome, with his dark blonde, and Dulcie began attract to him, like never before. Then, the other members come, Devlin, their leader, called Lord Dark, and his consort, Justine, called Devil's Justice...
Later, they know, Sebastian's master is Kali, Goddess of Destruction, a vampire, that Devlin know, she so dangerous, and impossible to beat her. Kali need Dulcie's magic to free her from her binding, so she can rules this world with her bloodthirsty... (sound familiar).Dulcie know if she still become human, she can beat Kali, so she ask Michael to take her virginity, and then make her a vampire. She tell Michael to give her a new name. Despite her scarlet hair (that hide under glamor, and become a copper colored hair), and her voluptuous body, Michael called her Cin..
And after that, Cin Craven is born, the vampire with witch power, that will do anything to stop Kali from her ambition...
I love with the story in this book. Dulcie's change from a mere viscount daughter to become Cin, a vampire, was written well.
My problem in this book is Kali's sex preference. She choose women than men, and the scene in Inn, when she have a menage with Sebastian and barmaid - and it involved Cin too!- make me cringed, and I almost skip that part.
Cin and Michael' s relationship is too new in this book. I want to
know, how their relationship will develop, and how Cin dealing with her new life as vampire, when she never get old, people that she love is dying and left her.
This series is interesting, and I continue reading [bc:Grave Sins|4497830|Grave Sins (Cin Craven, #2)|Jenna Maclaine|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255594280s/4497830.jpg|4546803]
