The seven deadly sins have been released into the world. Only one witch can destroy them, but will she be strong enough?

Moira ODonnell is a witch. Her mother birthed Moira for one reason only, to sacrifice her to the underworld so that she may communicate between the two worlds; to become a Goddess of the Underworld. Moira had no inkling of what the future held, so she trained hard for many years in her witchcraft, trying to make her mother proud. But on the night of the ceremony, Moira witnessed a human sacrifice, and she ran before the ceremony could be completed.

Her mother, Fiona, is a coven leader, and descended from a long line of powerful witches. It is Fionas wish to be all-powerful, and she knows just how to do it. Using an ancient tome, the Conoscenza, she finds the ancient spells to bring forth the seven deadly sins from the underworld. It is her wish to control them, but something goes awry.

Rafe Cooper is a former seminarian who finds himself awakened suddenly from a deep coma. He shouldnt have been able to walk out of the hospital, but he did. But now he has powers and memories he has no recollection of. He will join forces with Moira to hunt down and try to stop Fiona before its too late, even when he knows he shouldnt trust the witch.

ORIGINAL SIN, SEVEN DEADLY SINS, is a phenomenal first book in this new series. The world-building is laid in a manner that is easy to follow and draws your attention to the events surrounding it. Ms. Brennans characters are diverse and compelling. Ms. Brennan blends paranormal fiction with suspense with skill, leaving the reader begging for more.
