Review

I received this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review, and WOW am I delighted! "The Mark of Cain" is an outstanding read with romance, action, and epic historical sections. Even the most flawed characters are believable and loveable Hara is an orphan, raised in a Catholic orphanage to be as perfect and good as possible, while Cain, yes, the one from the Bible, is the world's first murderer, unrepentant, blasphemous, always harboring a dark motive for everything he does. Cain is hardened and self-centered, while Hara is innocent and fragile. Each needs the other to effect positive changes in their lives. Cain is definitely not the typical hero, but he's blatantly honest, and unapologetic about his character or motives. Seeley's ability to create a complex man who is both hero/protagonist and antagonist is remarkable, and I immediately fell in love with his sharp, if a bit dark wit and sense of humor. Despite the terrible crimes Cain has committed throughout his immortal lifetime, Seeley managed to make me relate to him, and his actions toward Hara are every woman's dream.
Hara, the heroine, is the source of our necessary side-kicks, Tracker and Crystal. Their characters become more important as the story unwinds, particularly Tracker, who not only harbors a secret from Hara, but wants her for himself.

The greatest accomplishment is Seeley's descent into Cain's mind. Any reader will learn to love him, hoping for the best and yearning for a happily ever after until the very end. Due to Hara's innocence, there was very little sex in the novel, but the story was so enthralling, I barely missed it (and I do enjoy a good love scene). This is a MUST read - one you'll grab to read every free moment, hate to put it down, and actually feel sad when it's over. A rare novel I'm sure I'll read more than once. Definitely five satin pillows! Heat rating: Sensual (2 candles out of 5).

The Mark of Cain The Cain Chronicles Book One edition by AD Seeley Romance eBooks Reviews

I don't usually spend a lot of time reading novels (I'm more of an audiobook kind of guy), but a friend mentioned that I should read this book so I picked it up. I didn't have a lot of time available so I planned on just skimming the first little bit to see if it caught my interest.

AND IT DID! I don't read very quickly, but I ate this book up and finished it the next day. The writing itself was a bit on the simple side, but it fit with the characters. The actual story, and the way it unfolded, was phenomenal! I'd love to see more from this author, and I hope to see this book given an audiobook treatment.

Despite the subject matter, I found that I was able to completely suspend disbelief through most of the novel and get pulled in (there were a couple instances that I snapped out of it and scratched my head, but was pulled back in again shortly after). I found myself thinking about the story at work the next day, and eager to get home to finish the book. Again, I can't wait to see more from this author. I don't know how it'll work out into a trilogy, but I'm keen to spend some time with these characters again!
The book was very good! I bought into the characters and story immediately. The only reason this is not a solid five star rating is the "extensive" narrative on one of Cain's past lives. Anyone who reads paranormal or vampire lit will know this background and those who don't probably didn't need that much detail. Even with this the book was one of the best "takes" I have read on Cain. Exceptional job.
I received this book as a gift from its kind author, A. D. Seeley, and was excited to read it! The story pulled me in and I could not wait to find out how the book ended.

Although I could tell the book was written from a younger person's POV, I enjoyed the plot (which was quite interesting!) I enjoy religious fiction and found this book to be interesting, as well as, thought provoking, and I am certain future volumes will be as well.
I found this as a free download for and thought it sounded interesting, so what the heck. I would have been happy if I had paid for it, it was that great! The characters are well developed and the story line is, as well. As another reviewer pointed out, there are a couple of moments where you wonder why a character made a certain decision, but only a couple. I will say this, telling the ending first does not prepare you for what is to come!

As a psychology student, I enjoyed the look into what Cain's mind and thought process might be and discovering more about who he might have been and what his motivations might be. His character was the most well developed and the most interesting to learn about. Another reviewer said that the book is not religeous, but I beg to differ. A big part of the plot and many of the happeneings have to do with God's hand at work and His and Cain's relationship to each other. In exploring this, one would tend to think about one's own relationship with God. The book does not preach at you, and does tend to have a bit of a cynical view about organized religion, though not God Himself.

I fully intend to watch out for more books by Ms Seeley as she releases them, I hope she's able to keep them up to this standard!
I really enjoyed this book because I enjoyed the alternate stories of Biblical and Historical stories that Cain, as an Immortal, told. I'm very certain that the Bible and early historical ideas probably aren't very close to reality, so I appreciate the imagination that can concoct other explanations.

This book is a stand alone and has a good ending. I don't know if I'm going to continue the series or not.
