Book of the Week

 I read this book a long time ago. I've always loved Christian mythology, angels and demons. I think these are topics where you can explote a lot and, well treated, you can write really good stories. So, obviously, when I saw this book, I couldn't resist.
It's well written, realistically. When you write about supernatural topics, especially about angels, it's so easy to fall into the ridiculous. You have to be careful. Coherence is essential when you write any story, especiallly supernatural stories. Coherence gives credibility.
You never get the feeling that it's too fanciful or that lacks logic, and that's a big plus with these stories.

“Angel and devil,” he said. “One is but a shade of the other.” 

The story follows a nun in New York who unwittingly reignites an ancient war between Angelologists, a group who study angels, and a race of descendants of angels and humans called the Nephilim. The story blends ancient biblical pericopes, the myth of Orpheus, and the fall of rebel angels.
