Today is release day for Eve of Destruction.
I was able to get my hands on a copy a little bit early (thanks to the fabulous Cici) and I read it last week. I have been waiting for this series since last July when I read the first book (Eve of Darkness (Marked, Book 1)
Anyway, Eve of Destruction continues on the journey with Eve getting used to her powers (and dealing with the after effects of a mighty blow, which I can’t tell you about because you need to read the first one. Although they stand alone, I highly recommend you read each of them) and dealing with her attraction for the two brothers. One she is in love, the other she’s infatuated with. This isn’t giving anything away, so I can tell you that. The romance person in me wishes she’d make a clear definition between each of them, but the realist in me can see why she can’t.
I didn’t expect the twist in Eve of Destruction. I would have thought a particular situation would have gone the other way. But, it was brilliant really (this has to do with the brothers rather than the mystery that is going on, btw. I’m trying to be vague because it would be a shame to give anything away.) I did manage to guess one of the bad guys, but only caught the last one slightly before it was revealed.
The class that Eve is training with has all sorts of characters and it is fun getting to know each of them. Ms. Day does a fantastic job of making each one distinct. The reader is able to clearly see each of them and is easily able to differentiate between them.
There’s a very interesting love scene in the book that was handled extremely well. What could have been something slightly off-putting, was very hot. Hot, hot, hot! In fact, this whole book is hot. Hot action, hot suspense, hot guys!
Here’s the official blurb for Eve of Destruction (Marked, Book 2)
When you’re learning to hunt demons, homework can be hell…
Class is in, but Evangeline Hollis is far from being the star pupil. She’s struggling to get through the required training to be a full-fledged Mark — one of thousands of sinners forced to hunt demons for God. When her class goes on a week-long field trip to an abandoned military base, passing the course suddenly isn’t just a matter of pride… it’s a matter of life and death. There’s a demon hidden among them, killing off Eve’s classmates one by one.
As the body count rises, a ragtag team of ghost hunters from a cable TV program unwittingly stumbles into the carnage. Now keeping the Mark system secret competes with the need to keep the “paranormal researchers” alive. With Cain on assignment and Abel investigating a new, terrifying class of demon, Eve must fly solo on her hunt to stop a killer before he strikes again.
If I’ve been too vague, then it’s only because you need to read the book. Everything I want to say would give something away. Really, you need to go buy the book and read it. Then come back here and talk to me about it. I’d love to know what you think. I’d love to talk about these books with someone. 
or a book by one of variety of authors (some wonderful Diva authors).
