“…dark, seductive, and sexy as sin.”—Library Journal Dagan Krayl, the Underworld’s most powerful soul reaper, is the demigod son of the evil god Sutekh. He’s on a mission to find his murdered brother’s remains and resurrect him, but resurrection means that the secrets carried into death would be released and, with them, a war that could end gods and mankind alike. Roxy Tam is searching for the … Tam is searching for the same thing, but for completely different reasons. She means to make certain that the remains don’t fall into Sutekh’s hands, and that the soul reapers do not reanimate their fallen comrade. As a Daughter of Aset, Roxy is tasked with the protection of the human race, and if that means thwarting an all powerful soul reaper and making certain his dead brother stays dead, so be it. But when Roxy sees Dagan face-to-face, she realizes that she has met him once before—a meeting that changed her life forever.
Neither Dagan nor Roxy expects to join forces for the sake of mankind. Or to have their loyalties tested as they struggle against treachery, betrayal and the potent desire that threatens to consume them both.

Family, betrayal, love. Who’s on who’s side and why. Read to find out.
Sins of the Heart by Eve Silver is the first book in The Sins series. In this book, Dae, a son of the underworld god Set is sent to procure a dark soul for his father Set. While procuring the dark soul he ran into a bound human woman named Roxy. He procures the souls for his father, then Dae lets Roxy go after giving her his jacket and some money. This is the beginning of a story full of mystery and suspense that involves the gods of the underworld as well as the reapers and human who are involved with them. This is a compelling tale full of supernatural and what happens to certain types of souls upon their death. I think that anyone who wants to read a unique tale with a unforgettable romance will love this book as much as I do. Sins of the Heart is a wonderful underworld tale of death, life, and love.
The beginning of the book intrigued me, however learning the age of the female lead gave me pause. I like my leading ladies to be at least over 21 y/o. However Roxy did seem to possess a backbone and sass so I gave her a pass on her age. What I liked was getting both POV’s which is always a better read for me. Dagan and Roxy both had self-decrypting humor and snark which I enjoy.
The mystery within a mystery was pretty cool and bringing the different gods and mixes in was something refreshing against the other over done genres.
What didn’t work was the info dump that we got subjected to and having the plot drag on a bit longer than necessary. The two main leads don’t meet back up till 10 years later, which is about midway through this book. I mean that’s one heck of a long wet dream to sustain an attraction. While I understand if you are being upfront that this is going to be a series of books you don’t have to drag out the meet up of the main characters to the point where you almost lose interest in them as a couple.
The underlying sexual tension and serious push and pull that Roxy and Dagan had did thankfully help to at least keep things on a simmer in the background. Once these two got reacquainted the book picked up speed and some secrets were revealed others got more mysterious.
I liked that Roxy did not lose her badassery once she and Dagan finally had their horizontal time as some of the other strong female leads in other stories have. Dagan having some insecurities humanized him a bit as he stumbled around trying to figure out why he was acting the way he was around Roxy and going against everything he had been taught.
Hopefully the pacing in the other books is not as drawn out and that we get to see more of these two characters as they navigate their way in their relationship. So while not a true cliffhanger in the sense of the word in terms of Roxy and Dagan’s relationship it is in terms of the continued mystery as to what happened to Dagan’s brother.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Book one in The Sins Series, I want to read the next book in this series. A well written story with a very good storyline. This is soul reaper Dagan Krayl and a Daughter of Aset, Roxy Tam’s Story it has suspense, drama, danger, murder, and romance. I enjoyed reading.
Keep reading! The series is great.
I enjoyed the entire series.
Enjoyed it!
I liked the different mythologies that the author built into the story.
A very original story line with Egyptian Gods instead of your typical vampires and werewolves. I have nothing against vampires and werewolves but it is nice to have a change of pace. I love the entire cast of characters and if I had anything to complain about it would be the cliff hanger ending.
loved it
Ending was unsatisfactory. It just stopped I was disappointed.
I bought the next book in this series and will continue to read the rest! I love the idea of this world and its characters. The men are hot and the women are strong and smart.
I loved this book. I couldn’t stop until I finished. There was action, romance,and a lot of bad guys or women as the case may be. This was a real page Turner and I can’t wait for the next book
I didn’t finish this book. It didn’t hold my interest. The hero and heroine had sex way to early for me in the book and so I couldn’t care less what happened next.
Did not get into it.
Enjoyed it so much I bought the entire set. Couldn’t put them down. Thank goodness for digital downloads. I could get my fix immediately!
Good world where the gods still have access. Live shouldn’t happen but does. Can a murder be solved when two people on opposite sides join together to solve his brothers murder?
Female lead is absolutely badass! Make lead is hot and powerful!! Loved Sins of the Heart! Into second book in series!
Great book ,didn’t like cut off at the end. Exspecting the pick in the next book and nothing 🙁
I think the best ever story
