Book Review – Eve of Darkness by S.J. Day
Eve of Darkness is an urban fantasy of the “ass-kicking chicks in leather” variety, and also one that could almost fit in the romance section, except it breaks too many rules of romance by being dark and violent and angry. It is set in modern-day California, where the hapless (although presumably not guiltless) Eve is taken from her normal, orderly life and thrust into a world of demons and werewolves and other creatures that go bump in the night…and sometimes in broad daylight.

Exclusive – Eve of Darkness by S.J. Day (Chapter I)
First week the ’09 and the BSC is here with the exclusive goods to inform you on your buying decisions! What we have here is a look at a forthcoming novel that kicks off a trio of releases from Tor! Bestselling novelist S.J. Day enters the Urban Fantasy arena with her Marked series. Here we have the first chapter to the initial book, Eve of Darkness, scheduled for an April release. The following two novels (Eve of Destruction and Eve of Chaos) are scheduled to follow it up the month after!
For more information Ms. Day has a rather pretty, spiffy, clean, pro looking site. I love that; easy to navigate, and very clear.
Synopsis:
Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel… All in a day’s work.
For Evangeline Hollis, a long ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain.
Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted into service to kill demons, Eve’s learning curve is short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She’s also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history…
But she’ll worry about all that later. Right now she’s more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she’d never believed she had.
The BSC would like to thank S.J. Day and Tor Books for allowing us to present the following excerpt at our venue!
