Halo of the Madonna is a really short prequel to the Halo Series.A world of fallen angels, demons, and Nephilim.You learn what really happened to Lydia, Kim and Joanna's mother.You'll see just how despicable Armaros is and why Lydia broke from the families church of FallenNow Armaros, calling himself Andel Talistokov, is back.Lydia hears his voice and learns he's set up shop in his headquarters at The Evil Empire, his advertising chain.Perfect place to hide what he is, a fallen angel, and gather evil souls.Lydia wonders if he knows where she is, knows what she stole from him?She sets up safe guards, but who knows if he is coming after what is his, or when he'll come.Lydia can't let him get the box and rushes to find a safe hiding place, while ensuring her daughters will be able to get to it.Time is running out and she needs to come forward and tell her daughters everything, what they are, so they can prepare for what is sure to come.I've been hoping to read about Lydia, to learn some of her story.While this is really short and ends quite abruptly, it gives me answers to questions I had nagging me after I finished the first two books in this series.Lydia was so brave, running away from the Fallen and trying to protect her children, while knowing she would be forever running and hiding.She knew the day would come, the day when she would have to tell her children what they are and where they come from.She just hopes she's not too late.Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still was so afraid for Lydia and was immersed from beginning to end.The author provided this book for my honest review. As I've read Halo of the Damned and Halo of the Nephilim, I would have gladly bought this. I've been wanting to know Lydia's story.
