Review of Halo of The Damned by Dina Rae

This dark occult horror novel doesn't pull a punch.  Rae demonstrates her research skill and imagination in this take on fallen angels gone awry.  

Andel  Talistokov is a fallen angel that uses subliminal suggestion in advertising as a  weapon for Hellish intentions. Ruling a power structure reminiscent of the one  run by Al Pacino in the Devil's Advocate, Andel feels invincible. He tried to  defeat God, and now he wants to defeat Satan. Yezidism, an ancient angel  worshiping religion, provides the powerful and arrogant Andel the opportunity to  mate with young women to produce Nephilim, a mixed race of humans and angels. 

Joanna Easterhouse, paroled after a jail term for cocaine use, and her sister,  Kim, discover their recently deceased mother had a secretive past. Disbelief  soon turns to terror. They are heirs to a twisted celestial legacy. This story  is not for the squeamish because Rae doesn't shy away from raw, graphic horror  of the kind Clive Barker made popular. The plot is filled with page-turning,  unexpected twists and tangles that will make you question what you felt you knew  about reality, myth and religion.
