As if the world didn't have enough problems of its own, heaven and hell are gathering for the biggest battle of all---a 'forced' apocalypse started by none other than Morning Star himself. With an insane plan to prove that God isn't perfect, he enlists the help of a very jaded archangel, Michael, to help him with his scheme. Along for the ride are Apollyon, Lilith, and their legion of Destroyers--the children of the Watchers--and cataclysmic worldly events quickly unfurl as one lone city cop discovers he plays a pivotal role in how this 'apocalypse' will end. "In the Beginning is brutal and bloody. Ms. Santiago pulls no punches when it comes to language and violence...It comes at you full-tilt, filled with exhilaration and over-the-top imagination." --Nights and Weekends
"Gothicly rich from Beginning to End, Cinsearae knows how to pull off an apocalypse." --Book Cove Reviews
"I REALLY enjoyed this book. The (human) characters were very realistic, and they interact with each other very well. My favorite human character was Dillon, a younger cop with such a bright personality. As for the angelic/demonic characters, I like how Lucifer and Apollyon played off each other. I found it interesting how Lucifer mentions that everyone blames 'him' for all the bad in the world---when humans should be blaming 'themselves' because of their free will. That's something that might make you think..." --Shaun Collins, thepurpleraven.blogspot.com
