Publisher's summary

FBI Agent Michael Childs is tasked with tracking down a serial killer with an obsession for victims born with 12 fingers and toes. But he discovers something much more startling about himself....

The only link between a series of grisly murders in New York City is that the victims were all born with 12 fingers and 12 toes. These people are known in occult circles as the Nephilim, a forsaken people, descendants of fallen angels.

After a break in the case leads to supposedly killed-in-action Marine sniper Anaba Raines, Michael finds the soldier alive and well, but shockingly no longer human. Michael then discovers that he is also a Nephilim, and next on the killer’s list.

Everything Michael once thought of as myth and magic starts to blur the lines of his reality, forcing him to accept a new fate to save the innocent or die trying.

Great story

This story feels like about three books in one. The characters are described well and their personalities are flushed out. The plot is captivating and has enough ebbs and flows to keep you entertained and invested. The imagery makes me want to dive headfirst into learning more about horses and religion to grasp even more of the context. Really hoping for a book 2 if there isn’t one already!

No spoilers

The story itself kept me very interested, but it really seemed like an overzealous editor went to town & cut out much of the supporting detail. It came across like a movie that had been edited for TV—the overall story is intact, but there were a lot of logic jumps.

Narrator has a fabulous voice and uses enough enough variation between voices to be able to differentiate characters without being hokey. The thing that was off-putting was the weird pauses he used in inappropriate places. It made it sound like he was reading instead of telling a story.

Well done!

Well constructed & well read. I’d read the book before finding the audiobook and the choice of voice was great!

Coming from a horse-y background, I LOVED the way they were spun into the weaving of the story. The human(?) characters were also very well formed and developed through the arc of the tale (no pun intended!)

I cannot wait to see if there is another story!
