Week 77 Recommended Read

Eve of Darkness by Sylvia Day (as. S.j. Day)

week 77 recommended read
Image found on Amazon

Evangeline (Eve) had one steamy night with a sexy stranger years ago, and it seems he’s seared into her mind. When she collides (literally) with him years later, Eve discovers she carries the mark of the biblical brother Cain.

Thrown into a world of Biblical proportions, Eve is caught in the biggest sibling rivalry in human history. Marked as a sinner, hunted by Demons, and desired by Cain and his brother Abel, does Eve have a prayer?

Eve of Darkness is the first of a trilogy. With a unique story line, taboo shenanigans, and contant action, this book will certainly make you say Mmm.

Please be advised that Eve of Darkness contains blasphemy, graphic scenes of debauchery, and everything in between. Read at your own risk!

Notes

Bananas will brown and be mushy if you garnish before chilling. Lemon juice will help prevent the browning, but may change the flavour of your cake.
Will store for 2-3 days in airtight container in fridge. Frozen bananas don’t thaw well and liquefy, so don’t freeze! 
You can substitute strawberries for bananas!
