The Seven Deadly Sins series by Erin McCarthy takes the concept of the seven deadly sins and builds a paranormal romance world around it. Fallen angels, each bound to a specific sin, walk among humans while dealing with supernatural politics, ancient grudges, and the complications that come from falling in love with mortals.
My Immortal opens the series and sets up the mythology. The fallen angels are not simply villains or heroes but complex figures trapped between their nature and their desires. McCarthy uses the sin framework to give each character a clear flaw that drives both the conflict and the romance. Fallen and The Taking continue the story with different pairings while deepening the world.
Published from 2007 to 2010, the series includes both full-length novels and the novella Greed. The blend of dark mythology and romantic heat gives these books a different feel from McCarthy’s lighter paranormal work in the Vegas Vampires and Fangover series. Readers who enjoy angel-themed paranormal romance with moral complexity will find this series worth exploring.
