Praise for Erin M. Evans’s first book, The God Catcher:
“Extremely entertaining, The God Catcher was a great surprise for me. Evans' fluent style glues this book in the reader's hands. With an action-packed story and vivid characters, it quickly becomes a page-turner.” –Speculative Book Review

[The story] flowed wonderfully and it was fast paced and exciting. . . . Every sub...more

Brimstone Angels, by Erin M. Evans, is an intriguing mix of several different stories: the subtle rivalries of two sisters competing; a teenage girl, an outsider, trying to figure out who she is in a town of full outsiders and cast-offs; a father feeling inadequate to dealing with two adopted daughters; a runaway boy avoiding a life he doesn’t want to face; a devil trying desperately to stay well away from the machinations of his powerful family; and the most powerful of the Nine Hells focused o...more

Brimstone Angels is the second stand-alone novel by Erin M. Evans. Her first is The God Catcher: Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep.

Brimstone Angels follows the misadventures of a Tiefling named Farideh who unwittingly makes a pact with a cambion and is exiled out of the village with her twin sister and their foster...more

It was only a matter of time before a series with the new "tiefling" as the main character(s) entered the fray. I suppose, given the origin of tieflings, it was only natural that various layers of Hell would play a large part in the story. With the recent dramatic changes to the world of Forgotten Realms, adding in the inferno made my head spin even more. The book itself was good from the beginning. The main protagonist, Farideh, didn't display much of her knowledge of what it means to be a warl...more

Brimstone Angels by Erin M. Evans

Brimstone Angels is a stand-alone novel set in the Forgotten Realms universe of Dungeons and Dragons. However, the novel does tie into R. A. Salvatore's Neverwinter Trilogy, along with having ties to other events in various recent series set in the Forgotten Realms. The novel will also tie into an upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online game that will be set in Neverwinter. Erin M. Evans has written a novel for the series Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep titled The...more

Shadowhawk reviews the first novel in a new series featuring the half-demon, half-human tieflings of Faerun.

“A unique point-of-view character, a fantastic plot related to demons and cultists, and some truly solid writing make Brimstone Angels a fantastic read. I just discovered another amazing author!” ~The Founding Fields

I got into reading Forgotten Realms novels through Paul S. Kemp’s excellent Ere...more

Awesome book all the way. The characters are extremely interesting, and very dynamic. The plot is extremely well done, and slowly unfolds with more and more. After reading the book and looking back on it, I realize it is really a mystery/action novel as you get more and more detail on what is going on and why things are happening. The settings are extremely dynamic shifting from Neverwinter to the 6th Hell in advancing the story and character development. This stand alone novel as everything any...more

From 42webs.com

In May of 1987, with the release of Darkwalker on Moonshae, TSR launched the beginning of Ed Greenwoods mystical world. This realm, a forgotten one, was our introduction to Faerûn. The Forgotten Realms line, the flagship product for the Dungeons & Dragons line, has actively continued since its launch, evolving with each new writer and each new edition.

In August 2008 Forgotten Realms made the change over to Dungeons & Dragon latest release, fourth edition. Much like the eve...more

Another winner by Erin M. Evans! She writes such wonderful characters... I immediately fell in love with the two tiefling girls. She writes seventeen year old girls that sound and act like... well... seventeen year old girls! They are like every pair of twins I have ever known - one out of control who is secretly fragile and one pensive and more thoughtful, but strong underneath.

The plot (no spoilers) is complex and engaging, with just the right amount of serendipity and (holy crap would you loo...more

I really liked this book. It really played with the whole notion of good and evil, and the many shades of gray in between. I couldn't put it down, and i found myself waking up early before work to "get in" a few chapters beforehand:)
Richard Harden
I found this book surprising. Although slow-paced at times, it's plot was rich in its complexity- more like a mystery than a fantasy novel.
Gabrielle Harbowy
Absolutely loved it. I'm hooked on the tiefling twins and their companions, and the cool twist on the warlock/minion relationship. Next book, please!
Galaqtik
i guess i can be considered a D&D fan even though i've never played the game. This will be the 4th D&D book that i've read (keep picking them by coincidence)
Julian Owens
Excellent ongoing adventure with new characters with Forgotten Realms.
Dan Harlow
I'd give it 6 stars if it'd let me. Fantastic book!

A very entertaining and fast read. I would highly recommend this to all who are D&D fans. Only thing I would consider a con is that it left me wanting more.
Brenda Cothern
If you want to know about Tieflings, Devils, & Archdevils in the post spellplague world of D&D, then this is the book to read. I would recommend it to any gamer who is considering playing a Tiefling!
Matt Hall
Never read a book with main protagonist being a young girl before... Gotta say this story delivered and can't wait to read this author again.
R.K. MacPherson
I really enjoyed Brimstone Angels. Erin does a great job with "outsider" characters, and invested each of them with compelling (and different) personalities and motivations. Definitely recommend.
