Ilustration As Books Plague of Angels (The Descended #1)
Nyx is Queen of Hell and ruler of the Angels who were banished there – the Descended. And when the rest of the Angels are called home, Nyx finds herself stuck on the Earth with the Son of God. To her surprise, she learns that he is no happier than she. God's son thought he was sent down to judge humanity. Instead, he becomes a sacrifice for a cause he does not believe in – their redemption. After his mortal body dies, the Son of God makes Nyx an offer: a new paradise on Earth if she will help him destroy humanity. With two of her fellow Angels by her side, Nyx launches a thousand-year campaign of violence, sex, betrayal and intrigue to bring down God's people and have them worship her instead. From the back streets of Jerusalem to the palaces of Rome, from the temples of Egypt to the Pope's bedchamber, Nyx and her companions work to destroy the worshippers of God. But not all is as it seems. And the Son of God has bigger plans than any of them imagine...List Books During Plague of Angels (The Descended #1)

With a story line involving fallen angels, and plots to bring down humanity. The characters in the novel are interesting, and this book provides a different look at history. In the book the Son of God makes a pact with Nyx to destroy humanity, who he hates. Its an interesting twist in a story that many of us know well. But individuals who are extremely religious may find this book slightly offensive due to this twist. I really enjoyed reading this book because it is so different from the norm,I'm not wasting a bunch of words on this book. With an amateur writing style and cringe-worthy dialogue, this felt like an attempt at being edgy but ended up being downright silly at times. I'm very surprised by all the good reviews here.
Controversial, challenging, dark and imaginative, first time author John Patrick Kennedy is introduced with his first novel Plague of Angels (The Descended). It gives a twisted re-imagining of the relationship between God and his angels. Devout Christians will no doubt find it insulting, historians will shudder at his impressments of true figures and events into his world, but in all cases he challenges your view of faith and Christianity.The lead character is a fallen angel, Nyx, who was a
I bought this book based on the Goodreads reviews. What a mistake. I should have read the preview before buying. After a couple of pages, I was wondering where all of the great reviews came from.
ARC was given for an honest review3.5-4 StarsThis isn't the type of book I would usually read and it took me a good few weeks as I kept picking it up and putting it down, I just couldn't decide whether I liked it or not, so I decided to look at it objectively and note my likes and dislikes (hence we have 4 stars.)Likes1) It was very well written and I found the writing style interesting.2) I loved Nyx... I can't put my finger on why, but someone who simply decides she's the Queen of hell...
Nyx. The banished angels. The suspense. The thrills. The mystery. The gruesomeness. Demons. War. Fantasy. Plot twists. Controversy.Enough said. This book was recommended to me, and now I'm recommending it to you.
Literally blew my mind. Word of warning, this book is not for those who are easily offended as the content is graphic and controversial. But, if you are ready for a dark adventure into the world of Hell on earth, then this book is for you.Nyx, the queen of Hell, has a mission to make mortals turn away from God and worship her so that one day earth would become her Paradise...and she has 1000 years to do it. This plan was planted in her head by a force more powerful than her, one who is looked
