Twenty-two years ago, I was cut from a cold, sodden womb, and cradled in the filth and poverty of Chicago’s concrete arms. Statistically, I wasn’t supposed to survive these streets past the age of eighteen.
Fate had a different plan.
I was bred for one purpose and one purpose only to unleash death and destruction on my world.
My thoughts are power.
My words are weapons.
Evil created me then grace tried to save me. But first… they tried to kill me.
They call themselves the Se7en. They are sin and salvation, and everything we’ve feared from the beginning of time. And their leader is the deadliest of them all.
He doesn’t lose.
He doesn’t compromise.
And most importantly, he doesn’t distract himself with mortal weakness.
Not until me.
Kill one to save a million.
That’s what he told me when he took me as his prisoner.
Kill one to save a million.
That’s what he’s been trying to tell himself ever since he took me into his arms.
Born Sinner Se7en Sinners Book 1 edition by SL Jennings Paranormal Romance eBooks
Born Sinner had me captivated from the first page, and pulled me in so deeply that I was not prepared to let go at the end. This is my first SL Jennings book, but it will definitely not be the last one I read.From the beginning, I wanted to know more about Eden. I wanted to understand her dark desires, even when I saw the lightness of her mind. From the music to the Se7en, Jennings pulled me in. This book is everything I have ever wanted in a PNR. I was desperately turning pages, ignoring my real life, just for another glimpse of this little world created from the darkness of humanity.
Maybe that makes me crazy, but I just needed to know the devious thoughts and desires of humanity within Born Sinner. I needed to understand how the Se7en thought, and why they believed that Eden was the one they were looking for. I just couldn't stop. Angels, Demons, Warlocks? Count me IN.
I'm sure this book may not be for everyone, and the bit of Stockholm Syndrome will make some readers teeth grind, but for me, that was what kept me coming back. That's why I needed more of L. I am not much of a highlighter, but there were so many things in this book that had me on the edge of my seat.
"Murderers don't play X-Box One. They should be skinning cats or designing necklaces made of ears."
I laughed, I chewed off all of my fingernails (true story), and I am desperate for book two. Desperate!
I always try to leave my reviews vague because I don't want to spoil anything. I can only really say that this book deserves more than 5 stars. I wish I could just gift this book to every single person because it was so stunning to me. I didn't fully expect the twist at the end, and that made it so much better.
If you like PNR, buy this book! If you don't like PNR, who cares? Buy this book! This is easily one of my top books of 2016.

Born Sinner Se7en Sinners Book 1 edition by SL Jennings Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews
Born Sinner starts off interesting enough. The reader is trying to figure out what is going on with Eden. However, the story falls apart as soon as she becomes one of the Seven. The biggiest problem with this story is that there are too many characters introduced too fast. Not only is it hard to keep track of them, but it is even more difficult to connect with them.
Each of them have a backstory and a fatal flaw that they are trying to rebel against. Along with the main seven, there are Eden’s sister, several unknown enemies, witches, warlocks, demons, angels, fallen angels, humans, councils set up to destroy or product certain members, and many of these groups have sub groups. It is a lot to keep track of. It also makes the story convuluted. Jennings would have been better to introduce the seven while focusing on one or two instead of them competing for the readers attention.
Trying to keep the characters and the story line straight makes it hard to get lost in the world Jennings has created. It is a shame.
This book started out with a bang, that fizzled just a bit, and then picked up again about half-way through. It's definitely not hard-core romance, but has the feel of a romance novel. Only there is so much more going on.
It begins with Eden, a broken, creepy girl who can tell people what to do. Literally. She tells someone to take a walk and they stroll in front of a bus. After that, you know she's not going to be a simple character. The author gets right down to the story, no ambling beginning or unnecessary scenes. With a few riveting pages, she delves right into...something. I wasn't sure what exactly, but either Eden is taken captive by angels or demons. It could have gone either way and, thankfully, I wasn't kept in the dark for long.
Here's where the beginning started to look like a typical formula romance novel she's abducted and while her captors are discussing whether or not to kill her, she's mesmerized by one guy's beauty and perfection. In the span of one paragraph, she is terrified but also envisions him ravaging her. That lost me a little and I rolled my eyes heavily, but then in storms L, an even more complex character with a ton of secrets that I was dying to find out. The first of which was, "What does L stand for?" The author made me wait for it, but it was better than anything I could have guessed.
The draw between L and Eden is palpable. I could feel it and at times it was frustrating and at others it was sweet. I can't call it attraction, because to do so would be to do their relationship a disservice; it encompasses so much more than lust. It felt one-sided/mystery until almost the end, but that is in part because the story is told from Eden's perspective. She's lost and confused and has no idea who or what she is. For some reason, she immediately latches onto him. And while he's cool, he certainly doesn't push her away. I was certain that he loved her in some way, that is one of the criteria of being a romance, but he was a stereotypical alpha male denying his emotions for too long. It was a relief when the true L started to shine.
The book is about angels and demons, so some readers might find it a delicate topic. The author gives us a bit of her idea of heaven and hell. I admit, I was intruiged, especially since I couldn't quite decide on who Eden really was and how she fit in with it all. The truth was a hard pill to swallow, because I'd grown rather fond of her, but was given away with still a huge chunk of story left. So, there's hope. The first half was a little slow, but it was a finely-crafted setup for the second half. I devoured it in a day, desperate to know the truth about angels and demons, according to Jennings.
WARNING Spoiler paragraph ahead that gives story detail without ruining the end. There is no way to write a review about this book without some spoilers. The entire premise is based on the fact that L and his six "siblings" are demons trying to find redemption. They hunt down what Eden calls "Lucifer's sleeper cells" and eradicates them from the face of the earth before they can blow up buildings or go on a mass-murdering rampage. Eden is not just any sleeper cell, though, because she has been given the gift of controlling people with just a few words. That means she's a big one that needs to be dealt with, since she could tell everyone to go home and slaughter their families and they would. The se7en, especially L, are desperate to save her and throughout their search they find out that she is meant to be Lucifer's bride. Honestly, it is obvious from the beginning that it is going to be about the devil, but to what extent is left unclear til about sixty-percent in. They're then told that it is inevitable and L is willing to die for her, so that means lots of drama.
Spoiler over. There are seven, obviously, which I found to be about three too many to keep track of. For the most part, the rest of the group fades into the background and are in a few scenes. They'd pop up and surprise me, because I had forgotten all about them. I'm not sure if they're just filler, so that they can be seven, which is a biblical number, or if they will have more story later on. The bulk rests on Eden, L, Phenex, and Lily. And don't forget Lucifer, who is a vital part of this story even though he had little face-time. The book is very well-written and kept me glued after a bit of a slump. The main characters are exceptional, especially L. It left me hanging and desperate for the next book. Sadly, it has not been published yet. So, you might want to put this on your shelf and hold off a little longer until the next one is around the corner. I'm glad that I read it, but now begins the agonizing wait.
One important aspect of the book that needs to be aired before the rating, is the fact that the book is extremely sexual. Not just romance book status, but over-the-top everything in this book revolves around sex. The angel catching a ride inside of Eden puts everyone in a sexual furor, which leads to a lot of tension. Later on some magic is called upon and the result, of course, is more horny. It's even going on in heaven and the party that they go to is teeming with humping angels, demons, humans, and miscellaneous whatnot. It's everywhere. Consider yourself warned or titillated, whichever you prefer. There are a few spots that are more erotica than romance.
Now to rate it
Genre and general reading age romance/erotica/supernatural. I'm a grown woman and this book made me blush. I would only suggest this for readers who are adults and not shy about what happens in the bedroom. Or in the case of this book, just about anywhere.
Level of sexuality through the roof. If you don't like reading about orgies, you might want to look the other way for a few pages. In general, it's well written and considering just how graphic it is, it was surprisingly good. There was a lot of emotion to the actual sex scenes and none of the cheesy lines that seem to proliferate romance novels of all genres.
Was there graphic language? With all the sex how could there not be? But in comparison, it's rather tame.
Did I cry? My eyes got a little misty at the end, but no tears.
Is this part of a series? Se7en Sinners. Book one is all there is so far. I'm hoping for a quick sequel and plan on stalking the author on social media for any clue as to when it will be coming.
Level of character development The main characters were fantastic, strong emphasis on Eden and L. The ones who played sidekick were a little bit lacking, but so much of the story is focused on the couple, there isn't much room for anyone else. Aside from Phenex and Lily, the other characters were more walk-on walk-off with varying levels of importance.
Did I laugh? I chuckled a few times. Eden has a way of turning something scary into something slightly funny.
This is a strong start to what will hopefully be an incredible series. It is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, especially since it concerns religion. I am salivating for the next and I am thrilled to give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars.
Born Sinner had me captivated from the first page, and pulled me in so deeply that I was not prepared to let go at the end. This is my first SL Jennings book, but it will definitely not be the last one I read.
From the beginning, I wanted to know more about Eden. I wanted to understand her dark desires, even when I saw the lightness of her mind. From the music to the Se7en, Jennings pulled me in.

I'm sure this book may not be for everyone, and the bit of Stockholm Syndrome will make some readers teeth grind, but for me, that was what kept me coming back. That's why I needed more of L.
