Back Cover of Actual Book: Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel... All in a day's work. For Evangeline Hollis, a long-ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain. Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted to kill demons, Eve knows her learning curve must be short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She's also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history...But she'll worry about all that later. Right now she's more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she'd never quite believed she had.

The book is the first in a Marked series. Eve has an evening with one guy and her world turns upside down. And having Alec Cain come back in her life wasn’t something she ever expected. Now Eve has to go kill things that go bump in the night so she can save her own soul. I found this to be a great twist on the biblical tales, showing that even today good and evil are fighting without the white gloves. I thought it was very imaginative storytelling. I couldn’t put the book down once I started it. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Eve of Destruction.
