4.5****'StarsRecently I read a book for review which also was kind of a biblical fantasy. This genre was new to me, and since it was written so well, I actually loved it. Now, after reading a Novella by Linda Nightingale called The Night Before Doomsday, it has made me a believer...The Grigori were Angels sent down from Heaven after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden. God feared his children would not survive, and wanted them to have someone to train them in their new life, and overcoming the elements. He felt they needed to learn all the trades needed to survive: hunting, cooking, sewing, and caring for themselves.The Grigori were called the Watchers. Each Angel has been given a job as a teacher. Azazel is the teacher of women, teaching the art of makeup with mirrors and seduction. The women are young, and flirt with the angels. Azazel realizes slowly that many of his friends have taken these women and have now fallen. His close quarters with them daily make it hard for him to not also have these stirrings and he fights hard to not succumb.Eve did it for Adam with the serpent and the apple, Azazel falls for the gentlest of them all Magdalene. With her he makes a home, calls her wife and is happy until  Ruth and her wicked ways seduce him. This story is exciting, sad, and hopeful. There is so much more to read and witness as you remember your basic Bible. Remember everyone always is responsible for their actions and everyone has to pay the piper.Linda Nightingale has written story that will spellbind you. It has everything: love, death, betrayal and is action packed. The rains will come, forty days and nights. Who knows Gods plan? Very good read!Review by Gloria LakritzSr Reviewer and Review Chair for the Paranormal Romance Guild
