VBT: SPOTLIGHT / GUEST POST & GIVEAWAY - HALO OF THE NEPHILIM BY DINA RAE

HALO OF THE NEPHILIM
BY
DINA RAE

Blurb: 
Can a fallen angel, his band of broken souls, and his nephilim children change the world?
Armaros the Cursed, Satan’s favorite of the Fallen, falls once again after breaking the rules. Fearing an eternity of punishment, he desperately attempts to save himself by sending a bird to his island. The SOS message is received by his beloved congregation. They prepare the great Armaros’ kingdom for his return. Can his loyal worshipers rescue him from the pit?

 
Halo of the Nephilim is the sequel to Halo of the Damned. The story begins with Armaros’ arrest. Reporters are duped into believing he was gunned down while awaiting trial. Declared dead, his only known surviving daughter, Joanna Easterhouse, proves her relation and inherits everything. She catapults her career from an entry-level advertising assistant to the head of Armaros’ advertising empire. Life couldn’t be better: a windfall inheritance, real power within a major industry, a loving relationship with a former demon, and a baby on the way. She should be on top of the world, but knows everything good must come to an end.

 
Joanna’s sister, Kim Easterhouse, becomes Kim Slattery after marrying Sean, her dead mother’s probate lawyer. Joanna generously includes them as key players in her advertising chain. They, too, have much to smile about, but a string of events leads them back to old family secrets.
Wickedness looms over the Easterhouse family once more, forcing them into an unlikely showdown filled with page-turning excitement. Like Halo of the Damned, Halo of the Nephilim is filled with conspiracy and angel lore taken directly from scripture and other ancient writings. Nephilim meander the earth in confusion, constantly questioning who they are and where they stand in terms of good and evil. More mind control themes top off this tale of doom. Dina Rae delivers the darkness in the most

GUEST POST


Cain, The Vampire by Dina Rae
Many accredit Vlad Tepes, the Prince of Romania (Wallachia), for bringing vampire lore into the world.  He was Stoker's inspiration for Dracula and infamous for sadistic means of torture.  He impaled his enemies and publicly drank their blood during estate dinners conducted on the palace grounds.

Then there was Erzebet Bathory.  According to urban legend, she killed her chambermaids and bathed in their blood to prevent herself from aging.  It turns out that this never happened, at least the baths of blood part of the story.  On an interesting sidenote, Prince Charles is supposedly related to both Bathory and Vlad, a luscious tidbit for New World Order theorists.

Anyway, vampirism goes back much farther than the 15th and 16th centuries.  Before Stoker, Bathory, Tepes, Judas Iscariot, Moses, and even Abraham, ancient writings finger Cain as the world's first vampire.  Some scholars believe Satan, not Adam, was his father.  The academic jury is still undecided on whether Eve was raped or seduced, but all concur on the forbidden fruit being used as a metaphor for the child that she bore.  Yes, this interpretation is unconventional and controversial.  Regardless, all theologians agree that Cain committed the first murder in the world after he murdered Abel, his brother or half-brother.  The story is more detailed in other writings, stating that Cain ate his brother's flesh and drank his blood.

If the Luciferian father theory is true, then Cain would be the first nephilim.  These creatures are described as being giant, polydactyl monsters.  They consumed Earth's natural resources at an alarming rate.  They were also described as cannibals (Cain).  Scholars believe Cain and his ancestors caused God's wrath.  The Flood's intention was to wipe them off of the earth.
If you like horror with a religious twist, check out Dina Rae's Halo series, Halo of the Damned and Halo of the Nephilim.  The prequel, Halo of the Madonna, is available on Amazon for .99.
