Once the favorite son of the Lord of the Underworld, Lokan Krayl held enviable privileges and powers. Powers that led to a devastating betrayal—murder.
Resurrected by his immortal brothers, Lokan is still trapped in purgatory. He has no way to contact his family. He has no answers. In order to find the truth about his death, and who killed him, he must escape his prison. And there’s only one way out: through the twelve gates of his eternal enemy, Osiris.
But Lokan has help. Bryn Carr, the woman who duped him once before, is his beautiful yet unwanted guide. She’s been sent by his brothers to aid him. She’s his last hope. Lokan must place his fate—and that of the mortal and immortal worlds—in the hands of the one woman he can never trust.
Lokan Krayl was thought to be lost, the one-time favorite son then killed by an unholy father, sacrificed to allow the Lord of Chaos a chance to walk in the mortal realm once again. His brothers, Dagan, Malthus, Alastor with their mates have found a way to bring Lokan back, maybe, if Bryn Carr, his enchantress, can guide him back to the mortal realm. But, is Lokan willing to give up what will be necessary to make their plan work? If he can't, his father, Lord of the Underworld, the Chaos Lord, will find a way to use his granddaughter in the same way he attempted to use Lokan.
Lokan will be forever changed by what has transpired since his cruel death. As a God of the Underworld, it was thought impossible to kill him, now he knows different. Sacrificing himself to save the one person he can't live without, his daughter, Dana.
Body of Sin by Eve Silver is an excellent finish to this mythos based series, the Otherkin series. If you haven't read this series before the books in order are: Sins of the Heart, Sins of the Soul, and Sins of the Flesh, with Daughter of Sin (novella in the same world). Lokan is the son most trusted by the Lord of the Underworld, his right hand man. But, when it is discovered that Lokan has produced a child, his father sees his chance to rule the mortal world, to take as only he can. He is incapable of real love, his sons are mere instruments for his use. It is the love of his brother's that saves Lokan, as well as the love of the only woman who can love help him return, and the need to save his daughter that makes him want to return to what has been left behind. It will take everything he and his brothers have to bring him home.
Body of Sin finishes the story started in Sins of Heart, and I recommend reading the books in order. There's great world building, a hot romances, and an excellent tale that unfolds and grows with each book. I found myself hoping Lokan would find his way, laughing at the insanity, crying at the inevitable. Eve Silver weaves a magical story that all lovers of mythos will want to read. Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance lovers will find a satisfying tale of love lost and found, hope revived. I highly recommend the entire series. 5 out of 5 fairy kisses, I'd give it more, but I ran out of kisses! Put this series on your reading list.
I received this ebook for review from NetGalley and Harlequin. All opinions expressed are my own.
The blood of the Underworld lord of evil runs through soul reaper Malthus Krayl’s veins. Raised to fight for survival and to kill for victory, he can destroy anyone who poses a threat. As he searches for the one responsible for his brother’s murder, he refuses to succumb to any distraction… until his sworn enemy crosses his path and tempts him beyond all reason.
Calliope Kane, a Daughter of Aset, has a personal hatred for soul reapers. Their savage attack against her family still haunts her. But only Malthus can help her find the traitors of her kind, and only she can help him hunt the source of betrayal amongst the reapers. As they unite, the danger grows closer…and the passion between them ignites…

Malthus Krayl is the third son born of the God of Chaos, Lord of Evil, Sutekh or Seth, and he has a mission. To find those who took his brother, murdered him, and butchered his body; and when he does, they'll pay. Unlike his brothers, he's lost faith that Lokan can be restored, but he can be avenged. Mal needs a break, both physically and literally. The night he hits the clubs, hoping for relaxation and maybe a little fun, is the night when the woman with the bewitching eyes, body as beautiful as sin, and damn kissable lips dances into this life, and away, before he can ever get her name, leaving him filled with unquenchable desires and not any fun.
Calliope Kane, a blooded Daughter of Aset for more than 150 years, hates soul reapers. The day of her parents deaths feels fresh and raw, as if it were yesterday when the soul reapers came, ripped out their hearts, and ate them. If she closes her eyes, she can still see the bloody remains. Calliope too needs a break, both physically and literally, she needs either blood or sex, preferably sex. When she dances her way to the dark stranger with eyes she could drown in, she's drawn, but not by otherworldliness, she's drawn to the instant pull of desire that tightens her body taut with need. When she recognizes he's more than mortal, she runs, fast and far.
When Malthus finds a trail that leads him in the direction of Lokan's killers, he runs right into a tasty treat in tight fitting spandex that leaves nothing to the imagination, but she's after the same thing he is, Pyotr Kuznetsov. Mal wants to rip out his dark soul, take it to Seth, find out what happened to Lokan. Calliope wants to make sure Mal doesn't find out. But, everything changes when Calliope taste the reaper's blood, absorbing his prowess and strength, as well as sealing her fate.
Sins of the Flesh by Eve Silver in the final installment and continuation of the Otherkin Series, but I've heard rumors that there maybe possibility more, and I certainly hope so. Dagan, Alastor, and Malthus, half-gods, half humans, have been magnetic brothers to get to know, but I still haven't spent time with Lokan, either before or after... and I believe he has one hell of a story to tell. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed to hope for more! As we enter Malthus's story, he's probably the darkest of the brothers, sexy and charismatic, once a pirate and a plunderer. He's loved and lost, and has no desire to do that again. He's lost the hope his brothers still have that Lokan can be revived, he's been too long in the Underworld, another soul lost to the darkness. Calliope Kane is a Daughter of Aset, Seth's biggest enemy, and she'd like to keep Lokan where he is and with the brothers never knowing who or what has been involved in his death, a great war could be brewing with Lokan's death as the catalyst. She's afraid of what they will find out if they confront Pyotr Kuznetsov. She puts herself between Malthus and what he desires most (or what she thinks he desires most). When Mal discovers an ancient artifact in Pyotr's house, he needs to confront Calliope, to find out how deeply the Daughters of Aset are involved in the murder of Lokan, if at all. Calliope seals her fate with the Matriarchs and the Guard when she consumes Mal's blood, but she really has little choice if she doesn't want to lose her prize. She realizes that the stranger from the club and Mal are one in the same, though she's calm and cool on the outside, fire glows beneath the surface. What happens when Malthus and Calliope unite can only be described as igniting combustion. But, all is not as it seems, either in the Guard or in the Lord of Chaos's domain, the Underworld. When Calliope goes on a wild ride with Mal to the Underworld, neither may be the same, and only Calliope can give what the brothers need the most, Aset's direct bloodline, a blooded member of her Guard. What they learn next is unbelievable even to the brothers who thought they'd heard and seen it all.
Sins of the Flesh is an excellent paranormal romance with strong dark urban fantasy elements. I love the mythology involved, the character development, and the underlying story that no one except Seth knows entirely; he's been conniving and scheming for centuries. He can take any form he wants, fool his sons who know him better than any of the living or the dead. He is the master of chaos, even his sons who have grudgingly come to know and sort of love him, are taken in by the truly masterful evilness of his actions, of his plans. You see, Lokan is..... well, it would be really unfair to tell, you'll have to buy the books, but it truly does tie the story together. I would still love to see Lokan's story told, what really happened, did he love as his brothers have come to? Also how the brothers reunited with their mates, can they find of way for life together, what will happen to Seth and what new role will his sons play? I highly recommend this series to lovers of paranormal romance (those boys sure know how to handle their ladies!), lovers of dark urban fantasy, and lovers of a story based in mythology.... it isn't entirely different from the stories surrounding ancient Egypt, and it's wonderfully told. If you enjoy mythology, this is a series for you too. Sins of the Flesh is a fresh telling of the gods Aset, Osiris, and Seth; with turns and twists and wickedness at the heart of the story. Eve Silver provides the reader with a wild ride through the dark, more than heated romance, and an evil beyond what those of the Underworld have seen. I've immensely enjoyed reading the Otherkin Series, and highly recommend it.
Take a peek at the trailer for the Otherkin Series...
Alastor Krayl’s world shattered when he learned that his father was the Underworld god of chaos and evil. All that saved him from self-destruction were his newfound brothers and the bond they shared as soul reapers. So when one of his brothers is murdered, vengeance becomes Alastor’s obsession. And the enigmatic Naphré Kurata, a witness—or is she the killer?—has the answers he seeks.
A reluctant Underworld enforcer, Naphré trusts no one, especially not a seductive soul reaper who makes her burn with lust. Torn between duty and desire, she fights to keep her secrets safe from Alastor, even as she longs to surrender.
“Sleek, dark and utterly seductive! Eve Silver’s talent always shines.”—New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian
Alastor Krayl didn't know who he really was, until he was ripped from the family who raised him, Mother, Father, and sisters... all a lie. Sutekh, Seth, the Lord of Chaos, one of the Gods of the Underworld fathered four sons, Dagan, Alastor, Malthus, and Lokan. This is Alastor's story, second son of the God of Chaos.
As with all Seth's sons, Alastor has no real patience for the father he never knew, although, after centuries of residing in his company, he has developed a grudging tolerance. For too many years, he was kept at Seth's side, and when he returned to his human family, they were all gone, even the nieces and nephews he would have doted upon, all lost of the passage of time. Now, there's no one but the brothers he has come to know, love, trust. When Lokan is impossibly murdered, all the brothers come together to find the fiend responsible. What they find is that Lokan led a different life, one none knew of.
When Dagan and Alastor find information of Lokan's last location, they go to investigate..... Alastor would like nothing better than to bring Lokan's murderer to his own brand of justice.
Naphré Kurata is an underworld enforcer, a deal made with a demon to save her father's life. Little does she know, her father was dying anyway and she's left without him and in service to a demon. She's come to be quite good at her job, as distasteful as it is, and before she takes a life even if it's demanded of her, it has to be morally right.
When Alastor sees Naphré, he knows she either had a hand in Lokan's death or a witness to the deed. The only way he'll know is to use some detective skills, only in doing so, he finds that she has links to the Daughters of Aset as well as finding that someone else is watching her, and that someone may be the one responsible for Lokan's gruesome death. Soon, he discovers she's a killer with a conscious, but, maybe she can led him to the murderer responsible... if he can keep her alive long enough.
Naphré has seen all kinds in her line of work, but the son of Seth, soul reaper, is certainly not what she's expecting. So far, he's been kind, helpful, and damn dangerous.... to her heart. She refuses to lose herself to another underworld being, even if he's trying to help.
Sins of the Soul by Eve Silver is the second book in Otherkin Series, and an excellent addition to the unfolding tale. While Naphré is warying of every living thing, she's also drawn to the one creature who could send her permanently into the Underworld, her soul already belongs to a demon, but what she doesn't know is that another Goddess has prior claim, sold by those closest to her. When Alastor findsNaphré's name among those souls to be collect in Seth's book, he can't let it happen, he won't let Seth feast upon her soul. But there are things in the Underworld that not even the son of the God of Chaos knows or can protect her from, and when he attempts to find the murderer of Lokan, Naphré's name keeps coming back to him. He's forced to bring her to the Underworld, but he doesn't want to lose her, she's his only link to Lokan. But, he soon discovers that he needs her for another reason, and if he's going to keep them both alive, he'll have to show the love he holds in his heart for the enemy, a Daughter of Aset, Naphré.
Sins of the Soul continues the story started in "Sins of the Heart" where we discovered Dagan's story and Lokan's murder unfolded. Alastor and Dagan are Seth's two oldest sons, and share the same human mother, though Dagan was never allowed to know humanity, and Alastor is ripped from his humanity at Seth's will. But Seth's sons share even more, their attraction to the Daughters of Aset, and that fondness is one that could get them killed. Alastor is plunged into mystery and intrigue through his association with, his need to protect, his budding friendship and love for Naphré, Underworld enforcer for some unknown, and unlikely, demon. When he finds out the demon isn't really a demon, and that there's a prior claim upon Naphré's soul, he has no choice but to bring she into the Underworld, because if he takes her, maybe he can save her, staking his own claim to her soul as he finds that he no longer cares for anything else. Naphré is not one to trust easily, the one person she thought she had a grudging trust for, her mentor, attempted to take her life, and now a soul reaper wants to help her, she's heard it all. But, she's drawn to the reaper, and soon, if she wants to stay alive, she may have no other to choice than to trust what she has always thought of as the enemy. I recommend this book to all lovers of Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Mythology, and Magic, it's excellent and a very quick read. I can't wait to try the next in the series.
Half-human, half-god, Dagan Krayl is the Underworld’s most powerful soul reaper. When one of his brothers is murdered, Dagan must use every ounce of his power to hunt down those responsible for his brutal death. But he must move swiftly—and carefully—if he’s to have any chance of resurrecting his brother.
Yet that resurrection could wreak havoc on the mortal world. As an Otherkin, Roxy Tam has sworn to protect the human race and it’s her mission to stop Dagan. But when she sees him face to face, she realizes that she has seen him once before—a meeting that changed her life forever.
Neither Dagan nor Roxy expect to join forces for the sake of mankind. Or have their loyalties tested as they struggle against the potent desire that threatens to consume them both….

Legend says that Sutekh in a bid to have the Goddess Aset and her power for himself, killed her husband/brother, Osiris, dismembering his body and scattering the pieces across the lands. Legend also says that Sutekh is the brother of Aset and Osiris, very convoluted. Aset who deeply loved Osiris, found all his parts, save one, his penis which she fashioned from gold, and reanimated the body for one night in which a son was produced, Horus. Now, Aset and Osiris are the enemies of Sutekh with each residing and reigning over their own region of the Underworld, along with the other demigods and gods, including Hades and the lesser demons. And this is where our story begins....
Sutekh, Seth, the Lord of Chaos, one of the Gods of the Underworld, had four sons by three mortal women. Why? To allow him to have personal emissaries, soul reapers, able to travel between the Topworld and Underworld, as long as they don't partake in the food of the dead. Sons which he created to be loyal to only him, trained to follow his every command. While each is loyal to and in a way loves their father, they are loyal to each other first and foremost. Dagan, the eldest son and most rebellious, is sent to reap some very deserving souls, murders and rapist. Sutekh likes to eat the most delectable of the filthiest souls. When Dagan arrives, he discovers they have a captive, Roxy Tam, and one of the oddest things happens... he doesn't want to kill her and reap her soul... he wants to save, protect her, and insure she has a long happy life.
Roxy Tam is street smart, capable, and unfortunately, willing to try to help her friend Marcia, but Marcia isn't what she appears to be and leads Roxy into a trap for the amusement and need of her sick boyfriend. Together they plan to rape and murder Roxy... that is until Dagan appears on the scene. He reaps their souls for his father to feast upon and sets Roxy free. But in doing so, Roxy accidentally imbibes some of Dagan's blood, binding them together. As the years pass, Roxy has waking and sleeping dreams of the reaper, either ending in love making or soul reaping and it's driving her mad. Dagan warns her off the Daughters of Aset, he can see them in her future, which leads to Roxy running to their arms, hoping for answers, hoping for a place to call home.
When Roxy is sent on a mission to retrieve a kidnapped child, it eventually brings her face to face with the man of her dreams, Dagan Krayl, after eleven long years of separation and with the knowledge that he felt her to fend for herself and with a new gift, the desire for blood. She either wants to kill him or sleep with him... but what will happen when a Daughter of Aset and a Son of Sutekh come together? Sworn enemies or life long lovers?
Sins of the Heart by Eve Silver is excellent paranormal romance/urban fantasy with elements of mythology, mysticism, and magic. Our story starts where the mythology ends and a new world begins telling the continuing story of Sutekh, Aset, and Osiris. Sutekh has four son, Dagan, Alastor, Mal, and Lokan. All do their father's biding, but Dagan is the most rebellious and the eldest. He feels it's his duty to protect his younger brothers and when he fails, he attempts to go to any lengths to right the injustice. Roxy Tam has been alone since the age of five and her life would have ended at nineteen if Dagan hadn't intervened. But, he changes her into something else, something otherworldly, Otherkin. He warns her off the Daughters of Aset, the one of the Otherkin, but he leaves her with this burning need, and she runs to the Daughters of Aset to try to understand what is happening to her. Only, they provide even less answers. Roxy struggles through life becoming what she can make of herself, she's proud, feisty, and beautiful. Dagan dreams only of Roxy, the young dark beauty he had to abandon if she was going to survive, but that doesn't keep her from invading his dreams, and soul reapers don't dream. What's the matter with him? He avoids her for eleven long years until the death of one of his brothers brings him face to face with his only weakness and worst nightmare, all rolled up in a tidy little package, Roxy Tam. The question is can he live with her or without her?
Sins of the Heart is a quick little read that hooked me from the beginning with Dagan Krayl torn between duty and beauty. I love stories that contain elements of mythology and mysticism, and since I had prior knowledge of the mythology involved (mythology freak that I am), it made the story that much better for me. [If you go back to my previous post about the Goddess Aset (also know as Isis), you'll understand what I mean.., lol] This one story contains intrigue, denial, double crosses, and gods and goddesses behaving badly. There's a mystery as to what exactly happened to Dagan's youngest brother.... did he sacrifice himself.... is there a way back for him.... will he partake in the food of the dead and remain truly dead, unable to return to Topworld? I waiting to start the next book in the series, requesting it and ready to watch the story unfold. Eve Silver is another new author for me, I've discovered so many in the last year and a half that I've been blogging, and Eve Silver's Otherkin Series is another keeper for me. I love the simplistic cover art with the strong full bodied hero, it describes the mythology within the story perfectly as well as the kick-ass heroine found within the pages and for which Eve Silver is known. I'll be looking into Ms. Silver's backlist, this is an author I'll be watching. I highly recommend this read to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and mythology
