We strolled over and Willie hugged them. My heart was pounding so loud and fast I was sure they all could hear it. Willie turned to me.
“Reed, this is my dad, Russ.”
I surreptitiously wiped my sweaty palm on my pants leg, then shook his hand.
“It’s nice to meet you,” I said.
“Likewise.” He smiled, and I saw Willie in it.
“And my mother, Meredith,” Willie said.
Meredith leaned forward and embraced me. “It’s so nice to finally meet you.”
“You, too,” I said. “I’m sorry we haven’t met earlier. And I apologize as well that I wasn’t with Willie to pick you up at the airport.”
“No apology necessary,” Russ said as he put a hand on my shoulder. “I’m sure Willie and Meredith can tell you about all the times I missed dinners or appointments. Let’s get seated and I want to hear all about this case you just solved.”
“Okay,” I said.
As we followed them inside, Willie murmured in my ear. “See, everything’s all right.”
I smiled at her. She was right. Everything was fine.

What Others Are Saying About Nephilim Genesis of Evil by Renée Pawlish
5 Star Review
Stephen King and Dean Koontz have long been known as masters of horror. I believe you can add Renee Pawlish to that list… The plot is entrancing. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it to the end.
Readers’ Favorite
A Spooky Blend of Biblical Intrigue and Modern Paranormal
This book is clearly written by a pro. The scenes are colored with rich description, depth of character and a cast that is reminiscent of Henry Fonda's On Golden Pond. However, there is an evil in this story that FINALLY brings the Nephilim to life and uncovers the dark secrets that scripture has kept hidden for millennium. If you enjoy reading supernatural fiction that meshes our distant past and the present, you will enjoy this most excellent book.
Kindle Book Review
I Couldn't Put It Down!
This book grabs you immediately and it doesn't turn you loose until you've read the last word. Carefully plan when you will begin reading it because it's more than likely you won't be able to put it down. Renee Pawlish is now on my favorite writer list and it's not a long one.
