They thought they could destroy House Sinister for good, but they weren’t expecting Evangeline...
Evangeline was living a great life in the Badlands as a Guard at House Sinister, but her world is shattered when three rival Houses attack. She's forced to watch as her mentor and father figure is slaughtered. His dying command: The House must survive at all costs. Translation: Evangeline must leave everything behind, run from assassins, and join up with the Black Ops Paranormal Police Department until she can return home and exact her vengeance.
Book 1: Unhallowed There are killers hunting for Evangeline, and the PPD is putting her life on the line daily, but rage is on her side. All she has to do is survive one year and then she can bring honor back to House Sinister.
Book 2: Unsanctified The Black Ops Paranormal Police Department has learned that Salem is in charge of the local mob, and they've been tasked with assassinating him.
Book 3: Unsacred It was bad enough for Evangeline to spend a year running for her life. Now, she was stuck between the Houses who were hunting for her, the hellion-run mob, and an army of normals who are on a power-drug.
Book 4: Uncherished The tables are turned when Evangeline and her crew find out that the super drug being used to turn normals into crazed killers is back on the market, and it's being supported by the Los Angeles Paranormal Police Department.
Book 5: Unrighteous The war is on, and Evangeline is standing right on the front lines. She's never been one who liked playing it safe.
Book 6: Undivine - A Flashback Novel Eve is assigned an espionage mission that will push her to the limit, forcing her to channel distasteful things she'd learned in her youth. In order to succeed, she'll have to face horrors she's never even imagined.

(FYI I tend to only review one book per series, unless I want to change my scoring by 0.50 or more of a star. -- I tend not to read reviews until after I read a book, so I go in with an open mind.)
4.25*
Going through adding some old ratings from a re found note, just author / title / rating given.
First time read the author's work?: No
Will you be reading more?: Yes
Would you recommend?: Yes
------------ How I rate Stars: 5* = I loved (must read all I can find by the author) 4* = I really enjoyed (got to read all the series and try other books by the author). 3* = I enjoyed (I will continue to read the series) or 3* = Good book just not my thing (I realised I don't like the genre or picked up a kids book to review in error.)
All of the above scores means I would recommend them! - 2* = it was okay (I might give the next book in the series a try, to see if that was better IMHO.) 1* = Disliked
Note: adding these basic 'reviews' after finding out that some people see the stars differently than I do - hoping this clarifies how I feel about the book. :-)
I am totally in awe of John and Christopher’s world building skills. This entire series has been riveting from start to finish. Snarky dialogue! Inventive invective! Action and a strong plot! From start to finish, the characters have developed into well-rounded individuals, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I really like Eve and it was great fun watching her story develop through these five books. If you like action, this series is for you. And the action doesn’t stop while the characters keep dropping some hysterical lines. I even learned a couple of new words! I really don’t know how the authors do it. Action! Humor! Great world building! Pixies with unusual habits!
Evangeline from House Sinister loses it all but must survive as her mentor tells her the House must survive. Survival becomes her life for a year. Can she survive and resurrect House Sinister? This box set has it all in one place. It is fast paced with lots of twists and turns that gives so much insight into the Hellions snd their Houses. Enjoy!
The best boxset , not as in your face with humour as Ian Dex stories but the magic and action is up there and i find Eve is the best character in the extended PPD universe and without spoilers how her story changes from her beginnings to the end is a great tale all by itself before the twists show themselves.
If you are looking for an absolute diamond of a series of books to buy, I would definitely recommend this one. With great characters and humour from the start which will have you gripped, you wont want to stop reading.
Too confusing in the latter books.A great shame. But the first books did an ok job and were quite enjoyable. The last two or three books seemed rushed and were in as mess.
Great Characters both the heroes and the villains. The situations, plots and escapes were surprising and very entertaining. I really enjoyed the series as I do with all the factions of the Paranormal Police Department novels
I have been reading through all the Paranormal Police Department sets this one is number 4 and I have absolutely enjoyed them all. If you get this omnibus series, immediately go to the end and read the prequel, then go to book one. This one is all about Evangeline of the House if Sinister and how she is conscripted to the Black Ops PPD after becoming the sole survivor of a rite of dessimation, against her house.
Great character and story lines that like the other series move from one book to the next quickly and culminates in an awesome ending, after some difficult battles and loses. Eve, Kaison, and the rest of the crew will keep you moving. Love these authors!
