Forget everything you think that you know about the story of Cain and Abel.  This book is not a blasphemous rewriting of history.  It is not meant to change your religious beliefs or to offend you.  Remember that while you are reading it. It is a work of fiction and although I am sure that some may find it controversial, approached as a work of fiction, it is a clever read.A secret sect, an immortal man, an innocent women, a college campus on the west coast, an orphanage on the east coast...  As you can see just from those pieces of information, this is not like any other book you have read.The story is filled with crafty descriptions whether of the clothing worn, or places/points from the past compared to the present, vivid dialogue fills in the lines of the unfolding story.  Attention is paid to not only visuals but to bringing the reader in by describing scents and tactile sensation.  For the most part the characters speak in a voice that is appropriate for who they are portraying.  The smooth dialogue makes for smooth transitions from scene to scene.  Details help keep the story  flowing and there are little snippets provided that show where the story could go past where it ends.Personally I feel the story would have had just as much impact without the austere penthouse apartment reminiscent of Christian Grey.  The wealthy man/young innocent woman scenario is enough of a homage.An admirable first foray for this author.
