Halo of the Nephilim
Book Two in the Halo Trinity
Releasing May 1st!
As soon as buy links are available, I’ll add them in.
So lets talk Nephilim.
It’s been just under a year since the Easterhouse sisters went through hell. It seems like the worst is over and done and they can get on with their lives.
But then they discover Armaros isn’t dead, as everyone believed. He’s in Hell and he’s planning a comeback.
Armaros is in the deepest, hottest level of Hell. Level Nine, Pandemonium.
“The city’s architecture used chrome, mirrors, and other reflecting glass and metal, casting images of evil in all directions.”
And Satan has handed him over to a few damned souls who can’t wait to exact their revenge.
I wondered how you could torture a Fallen One. Can you hurt something that can’t die? The author got very creative.
“The stitches firmly held his wings back, leaving him in human form, able to feel every nerve ending inside of his body, and every pulse of pain.”
The descriptions of Hell and its many levels is fascinating. Who would have thought there would be car dealerships there.
While Armaros suffers one torture after another, his mind is plotting, always plotting. His arrogance might have landed him back in Hell, but maybe it will get him out too. He plans on being the first to break out of Hell.
When Kim and Joanna learn of his plans, they bring family and allies together.
Armaros reaches out to his followers on Earth.
It looks like things are going to be plenty hot when everyone comes together at the gates of Hell.
Besides the descriptions of Hell and its many levels, my other favorite part of this story is Joanna. It was hinted in the first book that she may go through some changes. She sure does, some exciting ones.
Halo of the Nephilim reads even faster than Halo of the Damned. So much is going on from one end of the globe to the other and underneath our feet.
It all comes to a head in an exciting conclusion.
The ending caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect it to go down the way it did. But, I liked it. Now I can’t wait to see where Dina takes me in the final book.
5 Stars for Halo of the Nephilim. Gimme more!
Breaking News
A little birdie told me Dina is working on a short prequel for this Trinity and also plans to begin writing the third book soon!
I just recently did my review for Halo of the Damned, Book #1 in the Halo Trinity.
Halo of the Damned
A chain of advertising agencies, a new breed of humans, and a fallen angel to worship… Andel Talistokov is known for his slick advertising agencies across the globe. He is a fallen angel that uses advertising as a weapon for Satan‘s work. His growing power emboldens him to break several of Hell‘s Commandments. Furious with his arrogance, Satan commands him to return to Hell after finding his own replacement. Yezidism, an ancient angel worshiping religion, quietly expands throughout the West. Armaros appears as a guest of honor during their ceremonies. He mates with young women to produce nephilim, a mixed race of humans and angels. They are alone and unprepared for their supernatural power. Joanna Easterhouse, a recovering drug addict, steps out of prison shortly after her mother’s fatal accident. She and her sister, Kim, unravel their mother’s secretive past. Intrigued, they learn their bloodline is part of a celestial legacy. Both worlds collide. Halo of the Damned is a horrifying tale that weaves research together with suspenseful twists and turns.
I’ve also read Bad JuJu by Dina Rae.
A Haitian bokor mentors two teens in the dark arts. Their spells backfire.
Lucien Nazaire flees his Haitian homeland and meanders around the United States for decades. He settles in a Wisconsin trailer park filled with elderly tenants. He meets Jake and hires him for odd household jobs. As their relationship progresses, Lucien invites the boy into the world of Voodoo.
Jake LaRue lives in foster care with his abusive uncle. The Voodoo lessons give him a sense of power within an otherwise helpless situation. Despite his loner status, he instantly connects with Henry, his only friend in high school.
Henry Novak has Asperger’s Syndrome. He fixates on historical events, most recently the 2010 Haitian earthquake. Like Jake, he becomes passionate about the dark side of Voodoo. They learn how to cast spells on those they hate and lust, leading up to dire consequences.
Months after the Haitian earthquake, Henry convinces his family to volunteer for the island’s reconstruction. Their mission turns into a nightmare when he mysteriously walks off of the campsite.
Bad Juju is a balance of horror, romance, and literary fiction intended for adults and mature teens. The plot uses research involving the Voodoo religion.
