Good cops tend to collect enemies, but this novel takes that to the next level. Any senior cop has got to have PTSD and nightmares about bad guys going after their families; again, this novel takes this to the next level. Put those problems together with a stubborn macha woman who, like many cops, regard psychiatric therapy as proof of weakness to be avoid at almost any cost and you have a recipe for drama worthy of Hill Street Blues, General Hospital, Apocolypse Now and True Blood combined. What a mess, and what a cliffhanger!

This is a dark urban fantasy novel that explores evil versus good, heaven or hell. The characters are very well put together and their personalities are engaging, holding your interest until the conclusion. The narrative is excellent giving detailed descriptions, allowing the reader to visualize the setting and the action scenes, as well as, providing insight into the characters’ thought processes, motivations, and actions. The storyline flows quickly alternating between heaven, earth and hell. The author expertly weaves a story full of supernatural characters, action, intrigue, danger, emotional drama, romance and suspense. As part of the Grigori Legacy Series, this is not the end of these characters’ story and I for one can hardly wait to read more.

This book takes off from where the first book ended, or pretty close. Since the first book left me broken-hearted, this is where I started for this book. Hurting for Alexandra. But she is tough and off we go on another hair-raising, nail-biting adventure. This is an awesome story, awesomely written and with a protagonist that is very likable – in fact, I cried for her a few times. This book is a great story and the series is awesome as well.

Sins of the Son by Lydia M. Hawke is the second book in the Grigori Legacy. Even though this book begins where the first book left off this is a stand alone story. In this book, Alexandra Jarvis, a Toronto detective receives notice that Seth Benjamin, the angel who saved her life was found naked and confused in another city. Alex then proceeds to travel to help him because she knows that he is the only one who can stop the apocalypse. This book is exciting, mysterious, and suspense filled from beginning to the end. I love the way it focuses on the struggle between God and Lucifer. I couldn’t stop reading until the very last page. This is the perfect book to read if you enjoy reading about the fight between good and evil. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading the next one in this exciting series. Sins of the Son is a suspenseful heavenly tale.
This was a well-written, interesting book. It was fast-paced and hard to put down. This is the second book in the series and I can’t wait to read the next story. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.
Holy cow, I thought the first novel of this series was intense, but this managed to beat the first! Sins of the Son wasn’t so much horror laced as the first, but it was much more psychologically horrifying. I REALLY enjoy this series, it hits all my favorite genres effortlessly. I actually read this twice in a row, 1, just because I enjoyed it, and 2, because I wanted to see if it was like The DaVinci Code and each time you read it you find new details that totally shift the story……. ** spoiler ** you’ll have to read the book to find out!! *** Evil Chuckling *** Any hoodles it’s a fantastic story that I HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for the opportunity to review this gem!
