Review

Cain: Sins of the Father is not your normal paranormal romance. Elias Raven has created a unique paranormal suspense thriller that brings to mind fire and brimstone, and the wrath of the angels.

Elias, creates a love story unlike any other. Not because of the Dom and his sub, or a man and his former flame, not even the wealth business man and the model, no the different is Elias Cain. Who an what he is. That is the difference in this story.

Using his name sake, Elias weaves a tale of love, lose, secrets, vengeance and destruction. And not in that order. Ask yourself this what would you do for the woman you’ve loved for years and lost only to have her return to you? What if your father died the very next day, right after you get everything you’ve ever wanted? Now learn your family has been hiding secrets and one of those secrets has returned to bring down you an your family?

These are only a few of the issues Elias Cain must contend with in Sins of the Father. I enjoyed this tale Elias Raven created. There were times I did get pulled out of story do to formatting within the dialogue it still kept my interest. Maybe that’s because I enjoy a good story about good vs evil, angels vs demons, man vs the supernatural whatever the case this made me want to read.

Now I’ll be honest I was expecting a lot more sex so I was completely shocked with the how much actual sex happens in the story. This truly is more of the love story but that is just an under current of what is really going on. The story, even as is changes POV, is about Elias and his journey into becoming who he is supposed to be. It’s like a vision quest or walkabout, yet for Elias he will learn dark and hidden family secrets and no one would want to learn right after the death of a loved one especial not your father.

Not only will Elias Raven paint you a picture of a timeless theory but he also using poetry at the beginning of each chapter to set the tone and give you an inkling of which character will lead you down the rabbit hole.

So take this suspense filled journey with Elias Raven, slip down the rabbit hole and into a world where Heaven and Hell are about to collide.
