Lilith: Original Sin

Rate this book
A sapphic erotica prequel series to the Cardinal Series. This book follows on from the events of Book of Genesis (#0)Thousands of years ago, a woman was banished from the Garden of Eden for eating an apple. On the word of God, Lilith was slandered as a daemon throughout the mortal world as the physical embodiment of the dreaded fall from grace—that of innocence to sin.

After God and His Heavenly Host of archangels commit murder under the guise of mercy and atonement, bitterness overrules. With an unholy hatred, the knowledge of Good and Evil, a yearning for revenge, and a small serpentine voice that encourages her, Lilith sets out to give the people what they really want—to enjoy that which is considered a sin without remorse, whilst taking down those who attempted to put her in her place.

Lilith travels far and wide to find those she’ll mould into Seven Deadly Sins. With the help of a pirate captain that takes no bullshit, a beloved brothel owner, and a warrior chief with skulls for ornaments, Lilith sets out to bring the world’s worst vices to life.

This isn’t just one villain origin story.

What an adventure!! TJ takes us through the world 2, 000 years after Lilith has left The Garden of Eden. We meet Captain Blake, and Floki important fixtures in her life. We also see how 3 of the Sins come to be. We meet baby Lust -Althea, baby Wrath - Emilia, and baby Gluttony - Georgia. We see how Lilith hand picked people to groom the sins. ( I also think we got a peak at .baby Envy -Madison).
Hold on for a wild ride! TJ is a genius at creating a fabulous world, and of course it's HOT, HOT, HOT!!! There's to be 3 more books and I'm excited!! Deserves more than 5 stars!!

This was some nice spicy fun! Loved the buff butches that were introduced and I am thinking if there will be another way bigger and muscled butch in store at some point. See? Fun!

Some anachronisms felt weird, although I get how they were there. Strong characters (in many ways) and a very engaging plot, cant wait for the following books to come.

Roughly one year ago, TJ Dallas was the one to introduce me to sapphic er0tica, with the first book in her Pride-trilogy, The Bartender’s Pride. I was hooked. I devoured the rest of the Cardinal-series within days, some scenes still living rent free in my head.🫦

With the first prequel, Book of Genesis, we are introduced to Lilith and her origin story. Her story continues in Original Sin, where we follow Lilith after the events of Book of genesis. Lilith, now fuelled by hate and a yearning for revenge on God and his Heavenly Host of archangels, sets out with a plan to somehow give the people what they really want. With the help of Captain Blake, whose ship take them far and wide across Europe, Lilith finds the children she’ll have moulded into the Seven Deadly Sins. Accompanied by warrior chief Floki (who keeps severed heads as ornaments on her mantel👀), they all work together to see Lilith’s plan come to fruition.🍎

Like I have said probably several times before when banging on about these books, they are the perfect example of “came for the spice, stayed for the story”. Among the very delicious spice, that I have found few does as well as TJ, there is some really intriguing plot, that sometimes has me surprised by the sudden turn into er0tica. You’ll get the best of both worlds – an intriguing plot, with several interesting characters who all play a significant role in the story (and later on, in other books), all accompanied by some of the most delicious spice.❤️‍🔥

I am rarely one to have the brain capacity to come up with theories as I read, but this book had me bombarding poor TJ with several theories and reactions as the story went on (sorry, not sorry?😬). And, I have to say, I giggled hard when one of the character’s true self was revealed🪽

Now I just have to be very good and very patient as we wait for the rest of Lilith's story😌

SPOILER ALERT

A whole universe

I loved it. I didn't want it to end. I feel a little sad that I can't read it again for the first time. The writing is good. The plot is intriguing. The pace is also good. The characters are well-written. Since I have read the last 6 books, it is very easy to follow and understand the journey and formation of the deadly sins. I love how you can almost guess who the next child will be because the effects are shown a little before Lilith meets the children.

The other good thing are the interludes; they give a really good picture because in one interlude, I believe we have met Envy before Lilith has. I know I do not like Madison but I am sure I do not like her mom even more. Such toxic love, she has.

I am really excited for the next books, especially how Lilith and Harry will come to be. I know it is crazy but I feel like companion is Harry.. nasty boi. That chokehold was mean though.


Finally, I think I love most of the characters here. Admittedly, I have loved Lilith since before we knew her as Lilith because I love Harry so, but in this series, I almost loved Blake more than Lilith. But that always ends when Lilith meets the babies because she goes through such anguish that loving someone else instead of her feels sinful.

Ps: Those lesbians that love to be called daddy... you nasties, you are all Blakes... but there are those that are Floki.... now that's one you serve.

T.J Dallas, how do you ever sleep at night? The characters and worlds that must live inside your imagination! What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the walls of your mind!

Lilith: Original Sin follows on from the novella Lilith: Book of Genisis which was a brief introduction to the character who is the catalyst for the Bartender Trilogy and everything that unfolds in between. Original Sin is Lilith’s reckoning. Her time to show the world that she has a purpose, her pain has meaning, and her trauma won’t be for nothing.

Lilith sets sail with Captain Blake, a sexy pirate who is more than she seems, and meets or reacquaints herself with a few others along the way. All have their own story to tell and will aid Lilith in her mission for revenge against a God who caused her pain for daring to wish for more. Special mention to Floki - a warrior who I personally could not get enough of;)

Lilith: Original Sin has everything a reader could possibly ask for. A gripping, deeply layered story, characters to become invested in (and to daydream about), world building that will challenge your senses, and enough scenes throughout to make you question whether this book should only be read in the privacy of your own home…or your bedroom.

T.J. Dallas is an author who doesn’t put a single word down without excruciating thought and purpose behind it. Her work will linger in your thoughts for days after, which I’m certain is the ultimate goal. If you’re a fan and haven’t yet read Original Sin, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re new to T.J’s writing and are wondering whether a story can be told while interweaving so much erotica through it, just know that yes. It can. T.J has proven that time and again, and with Lilith: Original Sin, she has done it better than ever. Don’t miss this one.

💫ARC Read...Release date 31st Oct

Lilith Original Sin

@tjdallas7 has long been one of my favourite authors.

I devoured The Pride and Wrath series’ when I found them a couple years ago.
So, when I heard TJ was doing Lilith’s story I jumped at the chance to ARC read them!

Lilith of Eden, we all know the story…. OR do we?

She’s such a bad ass and whom I’ve always felt way more affinity to…. like most women.

She’s way more complex than Eve and didn’t take any crap!.

Adam who??? Lol

TJ brings her to life so perfectly, from the moment she’s violently thrown out of the gates of Eden at the start of Book One, you feel the injustice, the anger, the unfairness of a so-called God and his ego.

Book two jumps in time, two and half millennia, we find Lilith and her inner companion setting out on a mission to create the Seven Deadly Sin, if you’ve read the Pride and Wrath series you will know and love them already!

With the help of sexy and formidable Captain Blake, Lilith sets sails on the Skia to find those babes who will become Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth. The plan….To make God pay!

TJ not only graciously gives us and Lilith, Blake to drool over but also the warmth of a brothel owner and a mighty warrior chief!!
This book is seriously hot!!! Like…..OFF the scales lol, And I was there for every moment of it.

The story is fabulous and so well written, with touching moments, action& humour

If Lilith is Evil? Then I am happy to fall with her, PASS AN APPLE!!🍎

Thank you to TJ for putting up with my running commentary lol

These books for me will be a re-read, Top 10 add for the year and Top MC list addition.

TJ already knows how much I loved them lol
For me, this is TJ at her best

She set my phone on fire and I can’t wait for them to be printed so I can add them to my collection

Back in 2021 I read my first TJ Dallas book and it was The Bartender’s Pride. I was an instant fan! I devoured the Pride series and then the Wrath series…well, at least the first 2 Wrath books…I had to impatiently wait 9 months for book 3! But it was certainly worth the wait! After that I read every book of TJ’s I could, I was hooked! Now TJ has blessed us with the Lilith series, book 1, Lilith: Book of Genesis and book 2, Lilith: Original Sin both release on October 31…how appropriate.

In Original Sin we catch up with Lilith over 2000 years after her expulsion from the Garden of Eden, searching the world with Captain Blake, (oh my goodness 🔥) on her ship The Skia, for babies to become The Seven Deadly Sins. We also meet Floki, warrior Chief (ramp up the 🔥!), who also helps Lilith (in more ways than one!).

I said it before and I’ll say it again, TJ Dallas is wickedly wonderful! I don’t know how she does it, but she brings us some of the best sapphic erotica there is! But that being said, her stories are so well written. Her characters, who you fall in love with or not so much, are larger than life. Her plots are interesting and intriguing. Her descriptions and details…I can’t even imagine how much research TJ does to bring us these gems! Thank you, TJ!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book in return for my honest review and I can honestly say that I love this book (and all of TJ’s others as well.)

Get ready for a wild ride (and I’m only talking travel) as Lilith joins the Skiá and her crew for transport. Lilith is interested in the getting to know the ship’s captain, Blake, on her journey and she is not disappointed. TJ Dallas crafts incredible stories and this next stage of Lilith’s story is just as captivating, exciting, sexy, and beautiful. The level of detail, history, and research that is involved to bring Lilith’s story to life is incredible. The world building, the characters, the story, it’s all so on point that you don’t want to take a break because it captures you and doesn’t let go.
Continuing on Book of Genesis to see Lilith’s experiences, drive, and growth into who we know her to be from the Pride and Wrath trilogies is so much fun. While Lilith is on her journey to find those who will encompass the sins, her relationship with Captain Blake and getting to know more about who the captain ratchets up the spice to go along with her plot. Enter Floki and the spice skyrockets while the arch angels continue to bring pain. We learn how the sins come to be and meet the first three (probably four) and the decisions Lilith has to make on who will help them learn and grow into the unabashed, unashamed, strong women they become. Another masterpiece of storytelling from Dallas that leaves you drooling for what comes next (that may be a literal description, lol).

So complex and wild and simply, breathtakingly beautiful.
Despite her already well-known great way of creating characters, I'm always amazed by what TJ Dallas puts on paper with each book.
The adventures and worlds she enters or travels to with her demons, sins, archangels and gods.
Simply fabulous!
I won't say much about the story, as it's pretty obvious what it is about regarding the origins of the Seven Deadly Sins and how Lilith's journey shapes them as revenge for her own suffering. But I also don't want to give to much away.
It's quite unique. Brilliant idea!
She meets the most formidable women.
The Captain and the Chief are both a force to be reckoned with!
But so many more who are an enormous help to her on her journey and provide so much enjoyment.
I expected nothing in particular and got everything as a big fan of TJ Dallas's books.
This is an immensely hot and erotic tale.
So full of explicit Szenen and moments. WOW! Phew!
Thanks so much to TJ Dallas for the ARC.
I can’t wait to read more. I NEED more 😍❤️‍🔥

This book carries all of the hallmarks of a TJ Dallas novel - research, deep dives, a solid story and, of course, the erotica, all masterfully written, as expected.

But as someone who has a degree in theology (it's a long story), I wanted to offer a different perspective on what TJ Dallas has done here, which is offer a better perspective on the problem of sin.

No, I'm not suggesting that we can declare a thousand year old theological problem solved, but sin and evil and the unspeakable harm inflicted on the innocent is necessary to create what will ultimately be our heroines. And through it all, we see Lilith, the embodiment of evil, the only one who agonises over their creation, mourning the losses as only a mother can - not as an immortal being, but through mortal human desires, relationships and attachments.

Whether you believe in a god, all the gods or none of the gods is irrelevant. Evil is ultimately born through our own actions. It is humanity that gives them life, that delights in it and suffers from it, and we cannot help but create all of it in our image.

Let’s find some sin. This is a wild ride, but oh holy hell. Thousand years have passed since Lilith has been exiled from The Garden of Eden. We meet a sexy pirate Blake, a chief Floki with an interesting decorating choices, and brothel owner Isadora. Lilith is on journey to find and collect the Seven Deadly Sins. Which anyone who had read the Pride/Wrath series will know has happened. (Psst read them if you haven’t.)

This is only the beginning but damn it is so captivating. I have like mythology as a child, but TJ just brings it to a whole other level and so much spicier too. Every deep dive, detail, and history brings Lilith’s life into a masterpiece. We seen how three (lust, wrath, and gluttony) of the sins come to be as just wee babes. Maybe possibly a fourth as well, envy.

‘Come for the spice and stay for the plot’ for this book definitely, same for the Pride/Wrath series as well. I did not want to put this book down or do anything else. You want complex, adventure, an emotional ride, swagger, and a whole lotta spice this book is for you.

Gimme, gimme, gimme the next book. Please and thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Reading the origin story, knowing the outcome but also wondering what is going to happen to some characters that are not in the other trilogies, Also the cameos of some characters like Seph and Astar.... and Baby Sins!! 😍

Ok yes, I'm very fixated on historical accuracy and being that the time frame of the main story must have been around 1000 or 500 BC (my guess) My eyes twitched when at one point they were having breakfast in a restaurant and eating potatoes and coffee, I went:
"How can they be eating potatoes when America isn't even discovered yet??? THAT'S WHERE THE FREAKING POTATOES COME FROM!!!"
And then my next inner thought was:
"Daniela.... there are Arcangels, Valkyries and an absurd amount of strapons in this book and you're fixated on potatoes? Let it go woman"

...so I let it go and enjoyed the book, totally recommend it, five stars 👍🏻

From the very first page this story swept me away. It is pure adventure from beginning to end. I felt like I was right there on the ship with the characters, completely immersed in their journey. Lilith has always been one of my favorites but this book gave me an even deeper appreciation for her. Yes, she is ridiculously hot, but it is her raw vulnerability here that made me fall even harder for her. And then there are Floki and Blake. I honestly cannot decide who I love more. Both are so brilliantly written and bring so much to the story.

If you are craving a sapphic tale filled with spice 🌶️, heart, and nonstop adventure, this book is an absolute must read. I did not want to put it down and I did not want it to end. I am already counting the days until the next one.

Holy Unholy Hell!

So TJ did it again, not that any of us are surprised! Normally when I read erotica I understand that I am giving up some plot for spice and when I read for plot I'm giving up spice. Not with TJ! The level of craftsmanship and research she puts into her works is truly phenomenal. I am not an historian and cannot say whether her story is accurate, but it feels that way. The underlying story is complex and the world she built is rich. Then the spice....umm Blake Floki...yes please! The bits of modern world mixed with old world, history with fiction and character development with erotica is unmatched! Highly recommend for anyone looking for the perfect blend of spice and story!

TJ Dallas does it again! A brilliantly woven story following Lilith as she follows an unknown path to find her seven deadly sins. She is joined with a supporting cast that will make you laugh, cry and hunt for some ….. relief 😮‍💨. I’m not sure I can put onto worthy words how great this story is and how much I enjoyed it. When I got to the end I was truly saddened that this part of the journey had finished and I can’t wait to get stuck into the next instalment. I also now have a full list of places to visit for our next holiday. Just click the button and get this book now, you will not be disappointed.

I was truly lucky enough to be given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

TJ Dallas blows my mind with the story lines and plot points that weave throughout her stories. Nothing is ever simple or exactly as it seems. Except for Captain Blake and Floki, who are exactly what they seem. Hot, spicy, and what dreams are made of. Well, my dreams anyway 😉
Some religions portray God as being kind, loving, and forgiving. Others as wrathful, vengeful, and petty. One guess as to which Lilith has most experienced.
This is not a simple story, or a story for the faint of heart. It is, however, full of swagger, sapphic spice, and epic adventure. Lilith: Original Sin is a quest for revenge.
And I'm here for all of it.

Finding Sin

WOW!! this story is everything I would expect for a story about Lilith. She may be evil in some peoples eyes, but she has a tender and caring side to her. Her new companions are hot as f**k. The three share a secret about their background and they are more alike that you think. I can't wait to see the how the babies progress in their journeys. I am so looking forward to the rest in this new series.

Love seeing how it all began!

Okay, don’t want to spoil anything, but so far this series is amazing. You witness firsthand the internal struggles Lilith faces. The intimate scenes are incredible and you experience the connections between the MCs strengthen and grow. If you have this on your TBR, bump it up. If you haven’t read the other books in this line, start with the Pride Series. You won’t be disappointed.

I absolutely loved the story and honestly got sad when I realized I was close to the end... going to need the next book ASAP!

The details made me feel like I could see what the characters saw and the spicy scenes were so tantalizing that they made me wish I could be a fly on the wall if not an outright participant. Going to be thinking of this one for a while!

Who is ready to go on an adventure to find the 7 deadly sins? This book has it all the adventure, emotions, history, the secrets, and the spice 🥵🥵🥵. I am checking to make sure my soul is still in my body. I dont know how TJ Dallas can make you dehydrated and feel wet at the same time. This story is so beautiful, it felt like a tender hug to the heart.

I loved everything about this book. Having read all of TJ’s other books, this one is a great way to learn how some of he seven deadly sins came into being, after knowing what they have become from reading the original series. I love the take on God, archangels, and religious beliefs. The spice was way hot, as are all the books in this series. Looking forward to the next ones!!!

So dammed good

This is perfectly written, drawing you right to love all the characters as they wander through their adventures together. This really is the perfect pirate/ immortals story. I love TJ Dallas stories and have read others too. This is a perfect prequel to the 7-deadly sins series.

I want to start out by saying that I've been a fan girl of the Cardinal Series since I first read The Bartender's Pride. And what keeps me coming back is the incredible universe that TJ Dallas has built. With Lilith, we take a step back and get a glimpse of how it all began. We get to see the struggles and motivation that brought some of our favorite sins into this world, and the passion and commitment that Lilith has for each one. Between the hero’s journey and the setting this book is feeling more like a Greek epic than a contemporary erotica and I am here for it. And of course we get to meet two more amazingly stunning travel companions for Lilith, Captain Blake and Floki who would turn any woman into a puddle at first glance. Believe me when I say that there is more spice in this book than in a 5-alarm chili. This is yet again another part of the series that you won't be able to put down.
