Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 23, 2013
Brock has been checking out a woman taking her morning jog. Jodi is worried about a prowler or someone jumping out to get her while on her a.m. jog after seeing so many movies especially "scary ones" with her speculations about someone coming to get her. A man calls her attention, she sees a sexy, chocolate specimen of a gorgeous man standing in front of her, asking to run with her as they make small talk.Anakim was known for raping women and impregnating them with his seed. But Brock, comes from the Watcher's lineage, sent Anakim to Hell until judgment day by the commandment of the Archangel Michael. Ram is a nephilim, who never met his mother because she died at childbirth, and knew of his demon father, Anakim. On the other hand, Brock is seeking his "spirit" mate and truly believes that Jodi is the one.There is a Nephilim race under two sects: following their ancestors' pattern of raping women and making a superseding race as the others are fighting and protecting humankind as the original Watchers were assigned to do, especially the women from these fallen ones. Good and evil, even among the Nephilims after the flood.What is so cool that the Grigori, or Watchers, and Nephilims have some authority and power over the evil ones: the Fallen. Ironically nephilim can change their ethnicity based on their personal feelings. This is a different twist to the story about the Watchers spoke about in Genesis 6. I thought they were also vampires because of their desire of human blood.Eva J. Brock wrote a compelling, paranormal romance about Fallen angels who desire human women intimately that starts a new race of Nephilims (blood of both humans and angels). Moreover, I would like to see how she spread this series to fifteen books.This book is not your typical paranormal romance, it also has some historical insight on slavery (which could fall under historical fiction with a paranormal twist), and waiting to see how the love builds between Brock and Jodi. Then another love affair springs up, and enjoying where the journey is going... (Some things were reiterated, or redundantly mentioned was the only reason why it wasn't a 5 star read and pace of the book in some areas.) Overall, this is a great read and would recommend to supernatural, paranormal and romance readers!Adrienna Turner
