Summary :
Luc Cain was born and raised in Hell but he isn’t feeling as demonic as usual lately-thanks to Frannie and the unique power she never realized she has. But you can’t desert Hell without consequences. Frannie and Luc find themselves targeted by the same demons who used to be Luc’s allies. One of Luc’s allies, Rhenorian, Rhen for short, wants Frannie to use her ‘Sway’ power to turn him into a human, just like she did for Luc. Left with a few options, Frannie and Luc accept the protection of Heaven and one of its most powerful angels, Gabe. Unfortunately, Gabe also has a thing for Frannie and rather than losing his wings, he chooses to leave Franie and Luc under the protection of her guardian angel, Matt. All is fine for a short time but then Marc turns up. He is a demon from Hell and he uses his powers to charm Frannie’s best friend, Taylor, to become his girlfriend. Lilith, King Lucifer’s wife also turns up and tries to tag Frannie’s soul for Hell. In the end, both Luc and Gabriel leave Frannie because they have deep feelings for her and think that if they leave her, she would be better off, which would be fine if Taylor hasn’t been possessed by Lilith at that time. Frannie wants to save her friend but Lilith has already stabbed Taylor and now possesses Angelique’s body. Matt, Frannie’s guardian angel and twin brother, has been sent to hell and wants to get even with her and Luc.
Conclusion: Frannie is safe for the time being but she has conflicting feelings about both Luc and Gabriel. She feels guilty for sending her brother , Matt to hell. Matt is angry with Frannie because she has sent him to Hell but there is one consolation, King Lucifer has taught him powers that he did not realize he has and Matt has vowed revenged on Frannie.
Opinion :
Original Sins kept me on my toes and kept me guessing what is going to happen next. However. there are too many characters for my liking. (I have not stated the names of all the demons; only a few who play a significant role in this story). I don’t care much for the succubus story line nor the direction the author took with Matt (Franny’s angel twin brother).
