Other 5 out of 5 star reviews...

Nephilim Genesis of Evil is a chilling, horror outing that uses The Apocrypha as source material for its menacing beings. It's a well-crafted tale of the re-emergence of spirits who are the offspring of humans and angels. This is a powerful and well-written effort.
Sidney Williams, author of Midnight Eyes and Blood Hunter

Nephilim is a sort of twist on the vampire novel, a sort of supernatural detective novel set in a lakeside Colorado town, focusing on an ancient evil described in Genesis. I would associate it with the works of Stephen King.
Chris Nelson, dreamlogic.net

A dark power described in Genesis revisits a small mountain town.

This was an amazing book...I could hardly put it down.
Sue Owen, author

Pawlish has created a wonderful story that will pull readers in from the very beginning. The mystery and suspense of the novel kept me on edge as I read and I highly suggest those interested in fallen angels read this novel.
A Book Vacation, book reviews

If you'd like to read humorous mysteries with a healthy dose of suspense, check out the Reed Ferguson mystery series.

5 Star Review
There is little doubt that Renée Pawlish is a promising new voice to the comic murder/mystery genre.  Quite noticeable...is Pawlish's adept development of the plot coupled with her ability to contrive clear, concise and playful prose with almost perfect pacing.

5 Star Review
I hope you revel in the vicarious thrills as much as I did. The plot works on all levels, the supporting cast is great, and Pawlish reveals key elements of Reeds character with light brush strokes and a master's touch.
RJ McDonnell, author of The Rock & Roll mysteries

This book grabs you immediately and it doesn't turn you loose until you've read the last word. Carefully plan when you will begin reading it because it's more than likely you won't be able to put it down. Renee Pawlish is now on my favorite writer list and it's not a long one.
Bert Carson, author of Southern Investigation

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm having a lot of trouble getting into the story! January 7, 2012

By R. HATHAWAY

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

With so many great reviews I thought this would be a really good book, but the author keeps repeating herself. I've read 20% of the book and I'm having trouble continuing. I love stories based on ancient evil like the Nephilim of the Bible, and am hoping the story will pick up, but it doesn't take 1/5 of a book to convince the reader that the town is gloomy! The people are gloomy! The town is having unusually hot weather! The cabin the main character is staying in has a bad feel to it--no one wants to stay there. It is the only one available so he has to stay there. There is something gloomy in the air; there is something gloomy in the forest.

There, that is the first 1/5th of the story. If the next 4/5ths cover so little territory I think it would be better to skip it.

1.0 out of 5 stars How about zero stars June 29, 2012

By Poodle Pam

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I thought the topic would be a good one since I have heard of the Nephilim. Maybe there might be a good story out there about them but this isn't it. I was amazed at the repetition in this book. Honestly it could have been told in half the pages if it wasn't for that. The dialog was often inappropriate. In the midst of a "scary" scene the author would say that a smile or a giggle passed between two of the characters. Also, the desire to not tell others in the town what was going on defies belief. I think that my 10 year old grandson may have enjoyed it but I'm honestly amazed at all of the good reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Supernatural April 4, 2012

By Mallory Anne-Marie Haws TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

Does Evil actually exist in our Universe? Rory Callahan believes it does, and he has both recent personal experience plus research to prove it. Struck by a New York City taxi just moments after seeing and hearing a sentient black fog hovering above traffic, the journalist researches other instances of a similar manifestation, and discovers a 19th bizarre event in a small Colorado mining town. Rory doesn't know why he was targeted-but clearly, since the fog or mist entity addressed him, and then he was struck and injured-it does "know" him.

As he discovers in the history of little Taylor's Crossing, Colorado, some hundred years ago a similar feature was spotted there-some townsfolk moved away, and survived; the rest of the townspeople completely disappeared. Now rebuilt as a tourist attraction venture, Rory takes up residence there hoping to discover the truth, whatever it may be!

This is a fascinating Supernatural novel, which will appeal to many types of readers with its magnetic plotting and easily empathetic characters. The settings are very well-described, and the suspense is taut, and escalated carefully to hook the reader and keep her attention riveted.
