Resumen del Editor

Villains are made, not born.

Nephilim is a Guardian Angel, a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier created to protect and destroy. They are to protect the Olympias Conglomerate, the mega-corporation that owns them, and destroy its enemies–at any cost.

Nephilim is ruthless, sexy, and the best of these elite cyborgs–an unstoppable killing machine. But like all of her kind, she wasn’t born like that, she was made. Nephilim was only a child when silent black-clad killers with neon-blue eyes invaded the village she grew up in, murdered her parents, and abducted her and the other children.

With her memory wiped, Nephilim finds herself in a brutal program that turns the traumatized kids into the deadliest weapon in human history. But unknown to anyone except Metatron, the High-Archangel, Nephilim is special, and like a puppetmaster in the shadows, he grooms her for something greater....

This is the first book in a series of three novellas that tell the story of how Nephilim became the ultimate killing machine. The series is a prequel to the main series Behind Blue Eyes. It can be listened to as a standalone, or as additional content to the main story. Join Nephilim on her journey of becoming a killer cyborg!

Excellent prequel novel that can also stand alone

The narrator is excellent in this book, just as in the other two BBE audio books.

This is a well writen tightly focused plot. It can stand alone or if you have read the other BBE novels then it makes this all the more enjoyable. It's a treat as the reader to see her origin story developed further and to get a more detailed glimpse of the inner workings of the Angel Corps.

I'm excited for book 2 to come out!

Great origin story!

I’m a huge Behind Blue Eyes fan so I eagerly dove into Nephilim!

This is a great origin story. The small bits of Nephilim’s last that we already knew were expanded on, giving us a full picture of her life before she became a Guardian Angel.

I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator did a fantastic job. The characters were all voiced perfectly and the short length had me finishing the book in about a day.

This is another amazing installation in the Behind Blue Eyes saga and I highly recommend it to anyone who has read the series or those who are curious about it and haven’t had a chance to start!

MONSTERS AREN'T BORN

The way a prequel should be done. Further expands the world in a natural way. it's very exciting to see where nephilim came from, and overcoming the trials and tribulations of becoming an angel. eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Listened to it in one sitting!

I listened to this audiobook in just one evening after work. It was so enjoyable, even more than I expected! It was really cool to get the back-story on the iconic Nephilim. Jessica did an amazing job with the narration and the characters. I personally listened to this audiobook after BBE 3 (no other BBE audiobooks are out just yet at the time of this review). In any case, I definitely recommend listening to this origin story at some point after getting to know the main BBE cast. It's really cool to "meet" some of them as children and see how they become what the ultimately become... killer cyborgs! Will definitely listen to the others as I wait for the other BBE books to come out as audiobooks.

a dark and gritty beginning.

In a world where everybody can be perfect, this book starts off very dark and never brightens.

We get to see what it takes to become a guardian angel.
these children are put through tons of trauma and you get to see it first hand through the eyes of one of the most powerful cyborgs. it was gripping and compelling and had me totally invested until the end. I can't wait to see what happens in volume two.

Jessica, totally nails the performance. she brings these characters to life in a way that I truly appreciate.

again, I can't wait for volume two!

Enthralling Origin Story

If you've read Behind Blue Eyes, Nephilim gives added depth to the title character. Not only that but we get a peak behind the curtain at the psychology behind the Guardian Angels. With two more novellas in the series, I'm eager to see where the story goes.
