"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."

My Review:

Dina Rea has created a realistic world and a different kind of story than I have ever read. The gripping plot had me turning page after page to see what was going to happen next. With angels and demons living among humans, the author has intertwined the worlds to where it is totally believable. I like how the characters were created, they interact well with one another and the story flows because of this.

Halo of the Damned is not for the faint of heart since there are very graphic details of rituals, erotic sex scenes (some rape scenes), truly a horror story with lots of blood and gore including ewww...eating of humans. Like a few other reviewers have said, some people will have to put their beliefs aside to be able to enjoy this book.  

Thanks to FMB Blog Tours for providing me with a free e-copy of this book! I for one really enjoyed reading the story and look forward to reading more works from Dina Rae.

Excerpt:

Andel Talistokov watched Marcus, his assistant (among other titles) scrub his office cleaner than an ICU room. He carried

Catalina’s fresh head into the custom-made panic room he had built before occupying the building.

    The room was twenty feet below the basement, and he and Marcus were the only ones who knew about it. Inside the room were a toilet, table, and kitchenette equipped with basic appliances.

The refrigerator acted as a personal trophy case, displaying an array of severed heads from previous victims. He enjoyed looking at them. There were currently three other heads in the freezer. Andel bagged them up to make room for Catalina’s head.

He didn’t want her face to compete with his other victims. She was special. She was his daughter.
