The Forgotten Sin
Iliana D’coye holds a secret of a world that no normal human knows exists. After losing confidence in herself and the unique powers she possesses, Iliana ignores the darkened part of the world we live in. But when she moves to Primrose Bay to reunite with her parents, she finds it harder to ignore the Unknown World..... especially when a new friend is possessed.
Now rekindled with her powers, Iliana (with the help of the other Purifiers), attempts to save other humans from the darkness that dwells within their own souls..... But little do they know that something else is brewing in the side lines..... something that is way beyond their comprehension.

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to author Mika B. Coit.)
This book was just not for me.
I didn’t really like any of the characters in this book, and I found it quite hard to relate to them. The way they spoke was just odd, and I just really could not get a feel for them.
The storyline in this was confusing, and I really struggled to keep up with it. We had some sort of demons, and these ‘purifiers’ who could get rid of the demons, but it was all a bit more convoluted than that, and even the big chunks of information that we got didn’t clear things up. I also hated the way so much was made of ‘social standings’ in this book, and how it was wrong to date or socialise with someone of a lower class – to me that is just wrong.
The writing was also in need of editing or something, as there were quite a lot of times where sentences were grammatically incorrect.
The ending to this left us with a bit of a teaser for the next book, but I don’t think I’d want to read it really.
4 out of 10
“My Mother wants me to marry into a very wealthy family from above our own rank in the rich list, like most of our Mother’s do.”

“That Kazuki is hot but a little stern!”

Actual rating - 2.5
I just couldn't get into this one, so I felt bored early on unfortunately. I found it very hard to follow, so I spent a lot of it confused. It dragged for me because of it, which made the book feel longer than what it was.
Overall, Not an enjoyable read for me unfortunately.

I am kind of disappointed in the way the book turned. I had such expectations for the book because the description sounded interesting. However, it was not for me. The characters were lacking for me. The writing style was lacking as well. Also, it was confusing and boring. It is the kind of story that does not retain someone's attention.

The Forgotten Sin (Purifiers Book 1) is a new riveting tale that had me rapidly flipping the pages in a reading frenzy! From the opening scene when a young girl is summoned in a dream by crying voices, I found myself completely lost in this story.
Iliana D’coye sets forth on a mission to help other humans free themselves from the darkness within. With the assistance of other 'Purifies'—individuals who can essentially cleanse a human soul—she embarks on a campaign of good verses evil.
Fantastic dialogue, masterful story-telling and vivid imagery highlight this paranormal fantasy. The dialogue flows so beautiful that I was convinced the story is true.
Overall, The Forgotten Sin (Purifiers Book 1) is an enjoyable read; one I think any teen or young adult would love. Now to wait for Book 2!

Okay so first things first have to say that this lovely book was given to me for free to review by the author Mika. Thank you Mika for giving me this book I really enjoyed it.
This book took me two chapters to get into it and a little longer to get into the style of writing because it was very proper like mother father is not instead of isn't. But once I got into it I fell in love and couldn't put it down. It made me feel like I was reading city of bones for the first time again and I loved that because city of bones is the book th a t really got me into reading. I really like the characters and their role in the book and the plot, it was familiar but different at the same time which was nice. It's just basic demon possession with a twist to it. I can't wait for a second book to come out because that ending man, that end was so ugggggg.

****1/2 Stars
Iliana D'Coye the female protagonist in this novel is an amazing girl with incredible gifts. Her story starts with her return to her parents and quickly delves into the fight between miracles and demons. There's darkness and light in her world and it leaves the reader filled with questions.
I really love the story that Coit has created here. She satisfies the reader's curiosity while still leaving you wanting more. Her scenes are written with amazing description and visual imagery and the action quickly moves the story along.
Looking forward to finding out more about The Purifiers! This book is great for someone who enjoys a novel with dark twists.
