In Allison Brennan's first book in the 7 Deadly Sins Series, Original Sin, Moira is a witch, or was rather, because Moira O'Donnell has rebuffed the fact that she is a witch. Witches in her world are evil, there are no two ways about it. Case in point her mother Fiona is the worst of her kind. Spending most of her life searching for the Book of Knowledge so she can summon the evil demons from hell, the 7 Deadly Sins. But something goes terribly wrong and the portal is open, it is a cataclysm and they are let loose on human kind. Only Moira can hunt them down, but she isn't alone, she has the help of a pretty comical cast of characters, Anthony who is a demonologist and his girlfriend Sky. Anthony does not trust Moira, she is a witch after all and they are evil so he is on edge just waiting for her to stab them all in the back. A hard and angry his frustrations and dislikes are made abundantly clear at every turn. Then there is the ultra sexy and super mysterious Rafe. Moira isn't quite what to make of him and frankly I wasn't either. I felt as though the author could have given the readers a little more details on Rafe as I found his part a little confusing at times. Fact his Moira rocked in my book, shaky on the other characters although I did think that they were all vital to the story. Moira is tough, plain and simple, despite the uneasy feeling she gets from her nightmares of demon upheaval and human sacrifices, she has been training for years while in hiding from her mother and sister, to fight demons and eventually fight her mother which is inevitable. A lot of action and once you got past the first few chapters the story really started to take off for me, a really fantastic and cool ending.
A coven of witches well versed in the black arts unleash the Seven Deadly Sins on earth - as incarnate demons with an agenda. Raised a witch in her mother's powerful coven, Moira O'Donnell ran away when she learned her mother planned to sacrifice her to be "mediator" between the underworld and all united covens. Forsaking her power after her lover was killed by magic, she must stop her mother from controlling the Seven Deadly Sins or the balance of power between the worlds will shift forever to the dark side.

I have read a couple of her books and I visit her website about every 6 weeks. Have entered contests there as well and actually won a book once but it never arrived here.
February 20, 2010 3:18 AMQueried it with her after a while and apparently the copies hadn't arrived but never got confirmatrion it had been sent.
Unfortunately international mail to here does go astray every so often.
Maybe I can win this time.
Thanks for the giveaway.
