Nephilim Genesis of Evil is a paranormal thriller that kept me on edge and gave me chills. The storyline is original and interesting and there is a well-rounded cast of characters. There is a fair amount of suspense that builds throughout the story and which foreshadows the evil set to be unleashed.
The main character, Rory Callahan is drawn to the town of Taylor Crossing. He soon realizes that his connection to the town is a complex one with a history that spans over a hundred years. There are s...more

Pawlish has created a wonderful story that will pull readers in from the very beginning. The Nephilim, children of fallen angles and mortals, have resurfaced in the small town of Taylor Crossing, and Rory’s curiosity lands him in the middle of an epic battle within the town. Watching the story unfold was amazing, and I really came to love the characters, especially Rory as he pieced together the background of the town and realized what the Nephilim truly were.

"Nephilim Genesis of evil" by author Renee Pawlish concerns a small Colorado town plagued by murderous spirits. These monsters come in the form of Nephilim, an old testament evil. Pawlish uses these entities as a sort of vampire menace in her novel, descending on the town of Taylor’s crossing every generation or so in order to perform a dark ritual that, if performed to completion, will render the world to darkness. Previous attempts have failed, but rendered the old mining town of Taylor’s Cros...more

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...more
Nephilim is a book to read especially if you are interested in Angels and Demons. There are some books that are written to scared the audience but failed to do that. This is a book that is written without trying to scare the audience. This book leave the imagination to the readers of being scary. The concept of the story is simple and leaves a lot of theologies of the fallen angels. Most of us know the story of the Angels marrying the daughters of man but most of us glaze through Bible studies t...more
This was a great read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
I had heard of the Nephilim before but didn't know much about them, and I thought the concept of this book was so interesting. The sense of evil is pervasive throughout the story and kept me turning the pages.
The story takes place in Taylor Crossing, Colorado, and I loved the setting. I thought Pawlish did a great job of using the setting to increase the suspense of the story, as the feeling of dread increased with t...more

The first thing I have to say is wow. Before starting this book, I tried reading another about the Nephilim. I could not even finish the other book because I did not like the way it was written, nor the storyline and the characters. So, needless to say, I came to this book with low expectations -- and Renee Pawlish blew my ideas of the Nephilim out of the water.
On Pawlish, I have to say her writing style is excellent. She captivated me from the first chapter, and I have read well into the early...more

This was a freebie from Goodreads first reads. Gotta say I was hoping for a but more from this piece. I got the sense pretty early that it was building towards something but the journey took a bit longer than I would have liked. The final two chapters were a bit chaotic but fun to read, however the first 80% of the book I simply got the feeling that all of the characters were standing around debating about what was happening. At some point, I was beginning to look for a bomb to drop to start the...more
I really liked this book, it was well-written with an interesting story. The premise is that the Nephilim (a race resulting from fallen angels consorting with human females in ancient times) are still around in spirit form and seeking their release into heaven. A group of people are drawn to the tiny town of Taylor's Crossing, CO unknowingly to be inhabited by the Nephilim and perform their releasing ceremony. However, some in the town realize what's going on and vow to stop it as this ceremony...more
I don't read many horror stories. Yes, I'm sure there are more out there that are more graphic and have more terrfiying elements than what is contained here, but to me, it was pretty spooky!
Nephilim Genesis of Evil centers on the fictitious town of Taylor Crossing, a (former) gold mining town at the center of some unexplained phenomena.

This was an amazing book…I could hardly put it down. It was fast paced enough to not get boring but there was plenty of storyline to keep me interested. I love books like this that follow a legend and offer very plausible evidence that what is happening can be contributed to the legend.
I liked the way the characters unfolded without having to go into in depth reviews about the background of each character even though their backgrounds were very important. But you figured it out. I like that the...more

Wow! This was a really good book. Let me start by saying, I don’t read too many horror stories. Mostly because they keep me awake and scare me—more than the movies. Anyway, having said that, this book was right up there with the best. I mean on a Stephen King level. Scary stuff. Not blood and gore but plain old thought provoking scary stuff. The author did an excellent job keeping up the suspense and really had me putting everything else on hold so I could finish this book. It didn’t end the way...more
This is a theologically weak but, nevertheless, gripping horror tale set in the Colorado mountains. As good as any Stephen King novel if you are a fan of that genre. Some loose ends could have been better tied up.
This was the first book I read of Renee's and it sucked me in! I could not put it down. And when I was finished, I wanted to instantly read the sequel (which I hope comes out soon). Wonderful author!

Beautiful descriptions of a Colorado mountain town, really take me back there. Also, the way of thinking of the characters allows the reader to "know" them well. I'm pulled in.
I won this book in a giveaway. Thank you.
Not my kind of book, so I hesitate to review it.
Fantastic read, had me up late into the night! She is really a great author and very much like Frank Peretti :-)
It was good until the end.
Growing up, I was a huge fan of Stephen King. Somewhere along the line, I felt like his stories were being rushed, though, instead of special. Renee Pawlish has written a frightening story. I bought the book a year ago but only had the time to start reading it recently. I'm glued to it and haven't put it down!
Reading from Kindle Cloud on my PC so this may take awhile. ~ 1-8-13
Exciting and interesting story. Written well enough to hold my attention and keep me interested. Love the topic. Enjoyed the lack of profanity and sexual content.

This was uneven thriller/demonic ivasion book that was good but not great. It is a violent book that paints the nephilim as a sort of body-snatcher. It has its good moments.
