Always holding themselves aloft from the affairs of mortals, Los Nefilim have thrived for eons. But with the Spanish Civil War looming, their fragile independence is shaken by the machinations of angels and daimons… and a half breed caught in between. Although Diago Alvarez has pledged his loyalty to Los Nefilim, there are many who don’t trust his daimonic blood. And with the re-emergence of his father—a Nefil who sold his soul to a daimon—the fear is Diago will soon follow the same path. Yet even as Diago tries to prove his allegiance, events conspire that only fuel the other Nefilim’s suspicions—including the fact that every mortal Diago has known in Barcelona is being brutally murdered.

Review:
Picking up shortly after In Midnight’s Silence, Diago, a half angel and half diamon must prove his allegiance to the Nefilim, a group of angels that monitor demons. With trouble brewing in both the supernatural realm and the mortal realm with the eve of the Spanish Civil War, Diago finds himself once again in the middle of a lot of trouble. Everyone the Diago knows in Barcelona is being murdered; Diago, his partner Miquel and other Nefilim begin to investigate. The issues that arise affect both the natural and supernatural realm and directly involve Diago and his son, Rafael. Diago must figure out what is going on and how to stop it.
This book involved a lot more danger, intrigue and characterization. The demons were more prolific in this book and the growing threat that not everyone is who they seem. Diago and Miquel’s relationship grew even more for me, especially with the involvement of Rafael. There was some truly touching moments as Rafael had figured out the relationship between the two. The crime scenes and mystery built into this installment definitely amped up the excitement and led to more heart-pounding scenes as Diago tried to outsmart the daimons. I’ll be looking forward to more Nefilim adventures.

Review:
Diago Alverez is half darkness and half light born of an angel and a daimon. After centuries he has found his place with Nefilim and partner Miquel. He is content to love Miquel and play music, until someone comes after Miquel and wants him to play both sides. In order to save Miquel and an important person dug up from his past, Diago must make some difficult choices that will have an impact on the whole world.
This was a quick-paced short story that introduced me to the world of the Nefilim. The writing drew me in with vivid descriptions of scenery and allowed me to get to know the characters quickly. I was intrigued by Diago and Miquel’s relationship between a Nefilim and a half angel and half daimon. Their histories each seem very diverse and I hope that we get to learn more. In such a short work, it is difficult to do any huge twist, however I appreciated the straight-forward action as Diago raced to save the people he loved the most and make his decisions towards light or dark.
