    Well, I’m only a few chapters into the first book, but I liked it so much that I picked up the other 2. I do love the unique change of leading characters. I love my vamps, but variety is a great thing. I can’t wait until I get more into the background of Cain & Abel.

    2 - of course, i’d never miss out on Mark.
    3 & 4 are done

    I have not read this series yet. I will have to do so, though. I love the different theme to the series.

    2. Oh yes, I will be there.

    3, 4, and 5 done

    SH dear, i have trouble coming up with a creative menu for a week, how do you manage to come up with so many ideas for novels? not to mention fleshing out the characters and getting all the geographical and historical data correct. my hat is off to you.

    I haven’t read any of the books, but I always saw it as the Eve series, lol. It looks pretty fun but I’m a huge cover person and I think there’s something about the cover that turns me off. To those who have read it, what grabbed your attention?
    2. will do shortly

    I haven’t read the series yet. The cover caught my eye and I read the blurb and bought the 2nd book. I then had to find the 1st one.

    I don’t have Book 3 yet, but they are in my TBR stack.

    I’ve read the series and loved it!!! I can’t wait for the next book to be written and released!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I thought using Eve as the main character was very creative. And I love her!
    Alec Cain was my favorite secondary character, but there is another character that I think would have taken his place if and hopefully when she has more of a role. Don’t stop now S.J. Day, I, we need more of Eve!!! :o )

    I haven’t read this series yet. But I like series with a strong female lead so what I’ve heard about Eve is in keeping with that.

    1) 1.) The Concept Behind This Series Is Very Original. Is That Idea Your Favorite Aspect Of The Series, Or Do You Have Another?

    The Concept Is Pretty Kool An Unique Actually. I Like The Play On Names As Well.

    2,) How Do You Like Eve As A Main Character?

    I Have Not Read This Series But She Seems Like A Strong Indepentant Woman And I Like That In A Main Character.

    3.) Who Is Your Favorite Secondary Character?

    Again, I Have Not Read This Series But Just Reading Excerpts About The Series Cain And Abel Seem Like They Bring Lots Of Conflict To This Series Which Always Makes For A Great Story.

    2) I Attended The Release Party, Contest And Chat With Author Mark Henry Today At 12:00 Central.

    3) I Voted In The Weekly Paranormal Poll Here Comment 60.

    4) I Entered The Release Party Contest With Author Jeaniene Frost Here Comment 119.

    5) I Invited A Bunch Of My Friends To Come And Chat With Bitten By Books Today.
