Right from the beginning the story is a major jumble of religion, myth, God, vampires, and fallen angels. We are greeted with a new twist on Adam and Eves story...and it involves Lucifer?! Wanting to have Eve to himself he inadvertently becomes the undoing of Adam and Eve and his own glorious life in heaven. After that incident in the Garden of Eden he was turned into a Vampire, created Hell, and lives his life among humanity looking for the artist that his brother Jesus told him will show him the path back to heaven and Eve. Maybe this one will stay alive this time...Unfortunately Janie is plagued with nightmares of gruesome murders, which she paints to get them out of her head but they are getting worse and now she is having flashes of them during the day. What does it mean? How can she get the horrible dreams to stop?It is a great concept but the clutter of Religious beliefs, vampires, fallen angels, and bible myths it gets a little far fetched at times. (yes I know its fiction lol) Janie has flashbacks and when they present themselves they are not clearly defined and I found it hard to keep pace of what time era I was in and what I was experiencing. I did enjoy the interaction between Lucifer and Janie and it was enjoyable to read for once a man torn between two women, it was more methodical and less emotional. (lol) Overall it was an interesting read and great if your up for the task.3.5
