Liliana is a Sin Collector, an immortal being who collects the sins of the dying, by drawing out their sins and taking those sins upon herself, allowing the subject to pass unburdened into the next life. A group of humans known as the Castus, have discovered the existence of sin collectors and seek to destroy them because they are allowing the truly evil to become 'cleansed' and able to go on to a greater reward, as opposed to suffering for eternity.Another sin collector, William, who Liliana knew as a child shows up again, kindling feelings between the two of them.  Together with other sin collectors they decide to battle the Castus, who seem to know their every move almost before the sin collectors have made them!Olexander, an ancient sin collector, as well as Liliana's father-figure, suspects there is more to William than meets the eye and greatly mistrusts his motives, causing a rift between himself and Liliana. Now we have turmoil from within as well as the Castus to deal with.The concept of Sin Collectors is a great one, truly different in the paranormal genre!  Unfortunately, there wasn't enough book to go into enough depth to get to know the characters and connect with the story.  For being over one hundred years old, Liliana seemed very immature and naive.  William seemed too good to be true.  Olexander was a tough one to describe, while being serious and distant, he obviously cared for Liliana.The ending just kind of 'showed up' and left me a little weirded out.
