The Forsaken Children of Cain Book 1 Review


From the books Amazon page:

The Thirteen tribes of Cain are a cursed people. Descending from Lilith and Cain’s unholy union, they have lived in the shadows since the creation of the world. Finally, after a millennia of waiting, Armageddon is nigh. Soon they will have their chance to end the reign of the children of God and rule the Earth. Yet, these creatures of myth are losing their patience. War threatens to destroy them all. Will there be any of them left when the Master calls them to arms? Will they win the final battle? Will evil finally prevail over good?


The Forsaken

Her mother is dead, her home is destroyed. Gwenevere flees into the forest in the dead of winter and stumbles into the human world. Unable to speak their language, but capable of reading their thoughts, Gwen acclimates quickly. Meanwhile she discovers that her native tongue is magical, giving her the power to control the world around her. Seeking the answers to her identity and her forgotten past, orphaned Gwen runs off in search of her own kind. Her dark gifts bring to light horrible truths, the discovery of which forces Gwen to make a fatal decision. The only thing that is certain, her life is about to take a drastic turn - there is no going back from murder.


My thoughts:

This is an amazing book about a young orphan named Gwen. She cannot remember her past, or where she came from. In the beginning she knows something is different about her. She ends up in a Catholic orphanage. Here she meets Raven, who is also different like her.



This first book they become friends and end up going on an amazing adventure together searching for others like them. This book draws you in from the beginning and it's really hard to put it down! I normally have a hard time getting into books and know before the end of the first chapter if I will finish or not.



This book will draw you in and will leave you wanting to know more. I would personally say this book is for a mature audience, as there are some scenes that young people may not be able to handle. If you are looking into this book for your children, I would give it a read first to see if you feel it is appropriate for them.



But I do HIGHLY recommend reading this! It's an amazing story of this young girl learning who she is and trying to find a place in the world. I'm currently on book two and will be posting about that one once I am finished as well. 


It is $0.99 for the e-book and $16.04 with free shipping if you have Prime for the paper back
