Alivia Andder's book, Illumine, reveals that the main character is a nephilim, and that they are powerful weapons. Different books treat them differently, speculating on what they might be like. In Genesis angels left heaven to procreate with human women. Considering what I write, this is a word that comes up often. My spell checker on this computer doesn't like the word, which is a horrible shame. Now yes, there is some juvenile romance in the novel, but that is certainly in the background. Considering the girls in my writing group I should have known better. I decided to look into the novels, and on Christmas I ordered "Clockwork Angel." It would be over a month until I started it because, frankly, I was somewhat concerned that the book might be more chick-lit-ish. A couple of the girls were chatting excitedly about the release of "Clockwork Prince". I had honestly never heard of this book until a writer's group meeting with the Cape Coral Creative Writers. This is a book I should have passed up, and I recommend you look elsewhere too. It was like being in History class, except that in class I got more of a feel for who Napoleon was than I did for any of these characters. I was reading a list of events (one that didn't actually tell me what happened most of the time) and not reading a story. They engaged the enemy, there were boats, it looked bad. My biggest concern is that it makes no attempt to engage the reader at all, it covers events in a very removed kind of way. A Sword for His Women involves immortals, war, bloodshed, and a blood drinking Vlad. I should know better by now, "The Gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson also recieved excellent reviews and I couldn't get past the first couple chapters. I picked this up because it recieved excellent reviews. These are shorter pieces of fiction relating to his trilogy The Pulse Myths. Jacob Sweeny is an episode in the Pulse Historia series.
