Mark of Cain

How do you make a guy falling in love with his brother's killer believable? I don't know, but Kate Sherwood did it. This was a slow burn, which was absolutely necessary for that monumental a change in relationship.

I usually avoid books that focus on religiosity since I'm kind of bombarded with it in my RL social circle, but it fortunately didn't bother me in this case.

I really liked the MCs and sympathized with them both. Overall, it was a very satisfying read with well-developed characters. I find myself wishing for a sequel telling Sean's story because I so want a happy ending for him, but according to the author, it's unlikely to be written :(
