Nephilim…what are they? Half-breed offspring, born from mortals and angels…biblical legends, giants, that jeopardized mankind. Welcome to my world where anything can and does exist, and new demons are spawned at random.
The concept of Nephilim aren’t new, they come straight from the Bible.
When men began to increase in number on earth and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3Then the LORD said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is a mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.’ 4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:1-4
There are many theories as it relates to who and what the “sons of God” and the Nephilim are. A few are:
~They were fallen angels.
~They were probably not human, not even born on earth.
~They were nothing more than righteous men, as opposed to the earthly non-righteous individuals during those sinful days before the great flood.
~They were a hybrid race that is distinctly different from us humans, but sexually compatible with human reproduction.
~They were other men created by God.
The book of Job suggests that the sons of God were angelic in nature. Job 1:6 “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.” And again in Job 2:1, “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.”
The Grigori were also considered fallen angels who had mated with mortal women, which gave birth to a hybrid race known as the Nephilim. In the Book of Enoch, the Grigori were known as the “Watchers”, which were angels that had been sent to earth to do nothing more than watch over God’s human creation. Enoch details how the Grigori began to lust after human women, marry them and lived among mortals. Sounds similar to Greek Mythology to me! According to Enoch, nephilim were purported to be giant savages that endanger humankind by pillaging the earth. They were corrupt and taught the mortals the necessities of civilization that God had kept secret. According to Jude 1:6, God has bound the Grigori on the Earth until Judgment Day.
Of course, all of this is assuming one believes in Biblical principles. The idea of Nephilim interests me, but instead of having “giants” represent Nephilim, I took a more unassuming approach in my Road to Hell series. The first two books are now available through Decadent Publishing and through your online e-book publishers. Buy Links are available below.
You can read the first three chapters of Pandora’s Box and Hell’s Phoenix, on my blog at:
http://madisonroadtohell.blogspot.com/. Pandora’s Box is a must read before picking up Hell’s Phoenix, as they are a linear storyline about the same characters and Hell’s Phoenix picks up immediately where Pandora’s Box left off.
Thanks for having me today! It’s been a pleasure and I hope to meet more people on the road to hell adventure. 😉

Pandora’s Box Blurb (book 1):
Where does the road to Hell begin?
What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a world she didn't know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.
With good intentions? Or by demonic design?
Phoenix Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they pay the crucial price with their souls?
In a small, sleepy Alabama town the battle for mankind's liberty has begun…
Hell’s Phoenix Blurb (book 2):
Hell’s become more than just a playground for the wicked…
Going to Hell was supposed to save Madison, but knowing she’s dead because of his failure leaves Nix with only one thing to live for. Revenge. With Micah’s help he learns to use his Messianic power. Anything for Mads has become his mantra, even if it means killing innocents to gather the power he needs to succeed. A tsunami he unleashes on a Gulf Coast city is stopped with magical interference, and Nix is more than surprised to feel Madison in the opposing magic. Can he and Micah set a trap to lure her out?
Pandora’s Box…once you open it, there’s no turning back!
Madison has done the unthinkable, opened Pandora’s Box to save Nix from Hell. And failed. She’s willing to risk her own life to rescue Nix, but she worries about the welfare of her accomplice in the mission and leaving her son behind. Following up on a lead, she’s ambushed by Nix and Micah. Shocked and hurt to discover Nix has become a willing participant of Hell, she’s more certain than ever she won’t escape the demonic fate her husband outlined for her. While in Hell, she discovers denying the emergence of her succubus is futile, which means getting Nix out of Hell after embracing her inner demon just became a very real dilemma…
