This series sounds like something I’d be interested in reading. Sounds like it has a little of everything. Romance, suspense, action and maybe a little of mystery. And since there are seven books in the series I’m guessing each one will have do deal with one of the deadly sins and the demon associated with that. All in all, sounds like it’s gonna be a great series. I’ll look forward to reading them.
I think that it’s a great concept. I’ve read some other series that have been based somewhat around the same thing and I’ve really enjoyed them!
Wow — I love this concept! A very cool, original idea.
I am wondering what the book about gluttony will be like, though…
Okay I have been waiting for Allison’s to go supernatural. So hell yeah it is a great concept!
I’ve read one of Brennan’s books before and her words are powerful enough to rivet one in place to finish the book! Now to see this series, reading the concept about it, and I profess that it’s intriguing. The fun to be had with using demons! Those who loves books with demons would be chomping to get their hands on this.
I completely love this ideal, and already threw this book in my ‘to read’ pile. What a great concept, the 7 deadly sins. I was a huge fan of the movie 7, and there is just so many choices and interpretations for each sin. I can’t wait to see what Allison does with each. I’d LOVE a copy of this book.
wow sounds like a great take on the seven deadly sins. Sounds like one to read and devour.
Dark, suspesful paranormal plots? I’m loving it. Kinda has a ‘Supernatural’ vibe to it, what with demon possessions, murder and sins
I haven’t read any of Allison’s work before…this blurb is making me think I should.
I really like it and think its going to make a great and thrilling series. The seven deadly sins have been briefly addressed in movies such as 7. But never really in book form with each affecting the story. Looking forward to reading it.
This sounds so great. I can’t wait to read it. Count me in for the giveaway. And hopefully I can keep my own sins in check
Sounds like it’ll be a good read.
The new series sounds very interesting and something I would add to my TBR pile
This sounds like a fantasitc read!!!!!! Dark, super natural, suspense sounds like one of those that will keep you on the edge of your seat!!!! I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! WOOOOT!
Sounds very intriguing! I love books with a paranormal twist and the seven deadly sins is a great way to focus it…
Lisa
This is going to be an awesome series! I have read the other works she has done, and this will surely not dissapoint. I feel we each have our mortal sins, and when exploring them we all have demons to face. Its definatley a concept to follow up on
O - I cannot wait to read this!!! The seven deadly sins is an awesome concept to write about!
This sounds very interesting. I love reading about or watching movies about the seven deadly sins so I can’t wait to read this!
This sounds like an amazing book. Can’t wait to read it.
As the cover indicates, ever since Eve bit that juicy apple, the world has been a sinful place. In fact, there’s more than enough wicked writing material to cover The Seven Deadly Sins…and beyond!
This concept sounds great! Can’t wait to read them!
I have never read Ms. Brennan’s books and I would love to read this! It sounds fantastic! Thank you, Bitten by Books!!
Carol
Sounds great, I’d love to give this new series a try!
Thanks!
Dottie
The story has great promise. The ultimate tale of good verses evil - saving humanity from damnation. And a story with a battle between daughter and mother. I haven’t read that story line before.
Awesome premise! One of those “why didn’t I think of that?” ideas…
Definitely on my TBR list!
Linda
This sounds like it will be very exciting to read. And to start a new series, too.

I kind of like the concept of the Seven Deadly Sins..can’t wait to read the one anout Lust..although the Sloth one..ewww,my sister is sloth worthy enough and I have to deal with it daily
Sounds good! I’ll have to look for them, locally.
I love a good series that keeps me reading and this one sounds like it may fit the bill.
I like the concept. It’ll be an interesting read.
Sounds interesting I would definitely give sin one a try. Would likely stick through to all seven as well. I wouldn’t want to miss Gluttony.
Can’t wait to read it!
The concept sounds right up my alley in terms of what I enjoy reading. And I really like knowing right up front how many books are going to be in a series. A couple of times I’ve been surprised to find out I’m about to read the last one, but more often I read a series that has a lot of books, which I enjoy, but feel like some questions I have will NEVER get answered.
Wow - this series sounds rather good. I am interested to see how the author conceptualizes some of those sins especial in demon form.
I think is sounds interesting. I just added it to my amazon wish list.
Wow! There’s nothing I love more then reading and Original Sin sounds absolutely sinful. I’ve yet to read a story like this and would very much like to. Thanks BBB for the opportunity.
I’m a glutton (haha) about these kinds of books! This one has been plastered all over the Internet. : )Very exicted to read it!
Sounds good! Adding to the TBR.
I can’t wait to read this!!! I read through Chapter Three of the excerpt and then had to go back to work.
I have enjoyed Allison’s other series and I am looking forward to this new one-it looks exciting!
I love Allison’s books. I can’t wait to read the new one.
Thanks
Sounds amazing! It puts together several things I love. I can’t wait to see this book.
Sounds great- I really like her writing and this new series sounds exciting! I especially like that they are based on the 7 deadly sins.
jill.watkins@gmail.com
oooh this series looks awesome!
Cant wait to check it out, its just my style
It’s a cool concept. I tend to like themed series. I found my copies of Piers Anthony’s Incarnations of Immortality books. I hadn’t read those in MANY years and they have themes to each one:)
sounds very interesting would love to read
It sounds quite intriguing! I’d love to check it out!
Excited to read this book.
For some reason, the Seven Deadly Sins have always fascinated me. TLC had a special on them last year and the series was really interesting.
I look forward in starting this series.
Thanks.
I saw this in Borders the other day and thought it looked awesome.
Oh I’ve heard of this before. It sounds absoultely amazing! I love the whole demonologist part of it. Can’t wait to read it!
Thanks so much!
The new series sounds like an interesting new take on some old topics. I’m intrigued!!
Can’t wait to read this book! The series sounds awesome - and what a great concept - a series based on the seven deadlies! Woot!!! A feel a new fav coming on!! Kisses to BBB for ANOTHER fab suggestion!!!
xoxoxox
This new series sounds great, love the concept of the paranormal and how it’s based the 7 deadly sins.
Oo, the Seven Sins would make a great series. Did working in the Calif. Legislature provide much inspiration?
Mixing paranormal fiction AND one of my favorite topics to devour, the Seven Deadly Sins? Awesome. The guy who came up with them (I watch specials on TV, too) pretty much committed all of them before he decided to make the list once he became more pious, so that people wouldn’t do what he did. Like, go have fun, THEN make the rules. The list isn’t from the bible, but they are usually connected for obvious reasons. I’m very interested in anything that deals with this concept (like the movie 7 and an art series being done by Kevin Clark, I believe). It’s one of those things like Alice in Wonderland. I want to see/read lots about it. So, I would love to win it. I’ve written school papers on the subject, too.
And as for Eve, I think she got a bad rap. 
Oh goodie!! A delicious new series to lust after!! I am really looking forward to it!! Rhanks for feuling our book addiction.
Oh, and the link to the pinup-style 7 Deadly Sins art (so please visit only if you are the appropriate age because of cute naughtiness) is:

Hope you enjoy the idea, too. I had to check it out when he said he was doing the series.
Have fun. 
I cannot wait to read this book. Thanks for your hard work.
I like the idea - it sounds intriguing.

Cool Concept.and I love Paranormal books Demon Possession is Diffrent but a great Ideal.sounds like it will be a good read.
From Stacey S

I am always up for a great read. I love it when an author takes a story and expands it and the characters to multiple books. This looks to be a great read. I can’t wait to get my copy.
Hey, my friends and I stay really close because of the genres of books we read ;} and this would make our collection worthy one.
Sounds interesting, but I really didn’t need another book for my TBR pile
Sounds great I would buy it cant wait for it to come out
I love the concept and have read other books by Allison Brennan. She is truly a talented writer. I really like what she did with the FBI series
(Sudden Death, Fatal Secrets and Cutting Edge).
I think the concept is very interesting! I can’t wait to read it.
I have a few if Allison’s books here and think the topic for the new series sounds very current and thrilling
I love the concept! I’ve read another series that used a similar concept and loved it. I wonder if it can help me focus and keep to my New Years resolution lol
Sounds like a great series. I like just about all paranormal and demons rank right up there on my TBR list.
I’ve been a huge fan for years! Favorite series is the …No Evil trio, can’t wait to see this one so please pick me!
I think doing the seven deadly sins would be a lot of fun. I hope the series has all the same characters because thats my favorite part of series.
I’ve not read any of Ms Brennan’s work. I may need to check it out.
Anything with the word sin in it, I’m reading. *grin*
Love books about the paranormal, right up my alley.
Looks interesting- I will put this on my “to read” list!
This sounds like a very interesting concept. Can’t wait to read it.
Let’s see… supernatural, sins, mystery, suspense, AND romance… Sounds like a winning combination to me! I can’t wait to read it!
I love the concept, I also like to know before I go into a series that there’s an end in sight! =)
I’ve read Brennan’s “Evil”series which I throughly enjoyed. This looks like another killer series.
Ohhhhh, me likey!
Love the concept!!!!! I would love to read this!!!
this concept sounds awesome id loveto readthese the whole dealdy sins concept rocks anyways reallybe awesome to win this for sure if not deff be in my wishlist
I love Allison’s books! I cannot wait to read this series! Count me in please.
I love the concept. Seven deadly sins unleashed in the form of demons? Irresistable.
This concept sounds great, I can’t wait to see how the series plays out.
Wow - this sounds like an original way to present the deadly sins. My friends and I share books and this seems like a series we will all be sharing. I can’t wait to read it!
Sounds good to me. I’ve been looking to branch out into some new material. I’d be willing to bet the two friends I swap books with would like it as well!
Wow….sounds like a great book! I love new books and great contests!
Thank you!!!
Sue
This sounds like something that would be very interesting to read.
I actually wanted to get this book but money is tight so I’ve been trying to figure out what to get and when. I think this book is going to kick so much arse.
This sounds like an interesting concept that will make for a great read. I think I might just have to add this series to my TBR list!
I think this sounds very interesting! Definitely going to have to add it to my TBR list!
It sounds thrilling. I’m looking forward to reading this set
sounds really interesting! i like the sound of a witch daughter fighting her own witch mother.
I think all can enjoy the seven deadly sins. Sounds like a great series.
I can’t wait to start this new series! I’ve read a few of her other books and really enjoyed them.
There are many ways we can all identify with the concept of the 7 Deadly SIns being something not taken lightly. This new series hopefully will open up people’s eyes to what is wrong with indulging in 1 or all of the sins, or maybe it will just entertain us like the movie Seven with Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey. Will have to wait and see, in the meantime having read many of Allison Brennan’s books and enjoyed them am fairly sure this one will be just as spine tingling and mind boggling as the previous novels.

I’d love to read this. Sounds like my kind of book, adore the genre.
Sounds like a cool subject, look forward to reading this series.
Wow! This seems like a good addition to urban fantasy. It has been awhile since I enjoyed a great suspense/thriller, and this one could prove to end that
OMG. I love learning about the Seven Deadly Sins! I am certainly interested!
This is too intruiging. I just got the Kindle version. So far, truly good! =D
it sounds scary but in a good way that will make me addicted to yet another series!lol
can’t wait because I love romance/paranormal/thriller books.
I think it cool the series will be based on the seven deadly sins. I am a church nerd, so I find it kinda cool. And ex-holy men are always fun too (no examples come to mind though, haha~ Unless you count my grandpa)
I like books bases on the seven deadly sins. Should be steemy when we get to lust!
I would read it!
Sounds like a cool series, at first glance I remembered the movie with the same title but of course this is something quite different! 7 Deadly sins, sounds awesome! - Kristinia C
I think this concept is fantastc! I love paranormal and suspense. I’m using an ORIGINAL SIN magnet as a bookmark. Good omen? We’ll see. :-)=

Wow! I’m really excited about this series sounds very interesting! Great concept and very original:o) I flew through the 46 sample pages of the book and yep I want to read more;o) Thanks!

This Concept Sounds Awesome. It Reminds Me Of The Movie Seven With Brad Pitt And Morgan Freeman Only They Were Dealing With Having To Catch A Killer Who Was Using The Seven Deadly Sins As A Statement. I Think It Is Kool To Have Every Book Deal With One Of These Sins. This Book SOunds Like A Book I Would Enjoy Reading.
It Is About Time That Somebody Came Out With A Book Dealing WIth The Seven Deadly Sins. And I Can’t Wait To Read Them.
Sounds interesting but I’ll need more information before I spend money. Lisa D.
This series sounds really interesting and I’m going to add it to my TBR list!
This series sounds amazing…I love stories with suspence. Can’t wait to read it!!!
It sounds very interesting. Would love to read it!
I love the idea and hope she can pull it off, but I’ve been disappointed in other books based on the seven deadly sins. Would love to give it a chance, so please count me in!
I really like the concept of a horror book series revolving around the concept of the 7 deadly sins, but not as thrilled that it’s a supernatural series. Don’t get me wrong, I like the supernatural in books, but I think I’m getting paranormal’d out, recently. However, if the book is well written supernatural deadly sin goodness, then I will enjoy it.
Sounds good to me, although i’ll have to read the book before making a final judgement but i’m sure i’ll love it! Who doesn’t love this type of story? Looking forward to reading it!

Sounds good I’ll have to add it to my tbr list!
Concept is interesting and original.
I’d like to read Original Sin - a paranormal suspense series about the seven deadly sins sounds interesting.
This sound most definitely like a series I’d follow “religiously!” The paring of black magic, the 7ds, and young romance is def new (to this reader)and quite interesting! It sounds like quite a reading adventure!
I think this is AWESOME!!!! Can’t wait to get my hot little hands on a copy of this book, and if it happens to be a free copy all the better, right? Right!
This concept has been used many times now, has it? Although not sure if there are many books based on said concept. I know for sure there were multitides of movies or tv shows that were based on the series [including the history channel's 7 deadly sins, if i'm not mistaken]
Would be nice to read it on print though.
