Aaron and his Nephilim family must fight for their loves through the battles that come with the end of the world. Armageddon is truly an interesting take on how the world may come to an end.

Finally finished this series after months of trying to get a hold of the last books and...it was underwhelming. I may be being pedantic, but after realizing the first editions were printed in 2001-3 and the second at least in 2013, I'd think that's enough time for the author to search up frequently used phrases such as "So-and-so would not stand for it" (I actually started trying to keep a count of this because it was so eye-twitchingly annoying to see every other page) and to make sure he got basic grammar right for the angelic choirs and their names. (-im denotes 3 or more beings in Hebrew from what little I know about it, thus the author was able to use a word such as Malakim or Nephilim both correctly and incorrectly on the same page, often in the same paragraph. He could have solved this easily by just taking off the -im when referring to a singular person or use it as part of a phrase such as "one of the Malakim/Nephilim/etc.")
Also, the epilogue made Aaron look like a ponce for all of the five minutes it took for me the reader to realize that he and Vilma already knew she was pregnant. It legitimately looked like Aaron didn't know what an ob/gyn's pregnancy exam and equipment did for the time it took me to get to Vilma asking how the baby was doing.
The Jeremy and Enoch scenes were nice. Could have done with a Jeremy-meets-Enoch-post-re-Metatroning scene, though. Also Lucifer and Taylor; she seemed more human with him around. There just seemed to be a lack of a bit of catharsis for some of the characters throughout and at the end.

I am making it official. I am screaming for more! I don't want this series to end, I loved it so much!
Please Mr. Sniegoski, write more in this series. Even if it's short stories or novellas. There is still the potential for this series to continue, you can use the next generation as characters! Sincerely, a devoted fan.
This conclusion was not heartbreaking and inspiring. Whether it be the loss of Lucifer, to the redemption of Verchiel. One would do well to read this series and see how these characters develop and grow to become a part of the reader's world. I will be reading this series again!

This entire series was amazing, I have worked on reading it since I heard about it in high school (which I know is a long time, but my education got in the way of my reading for fun, though it was worth it because I can now analyze the stories I am reading better and get a more enriching experience!), however over time my love for this series did not dim. I don't know if that's because I love stories about fallen angels, the possibility that even the most evil of beings are worthy of forgiveness upon repenting, or if I just love this author's writing (maybe its all of the above) but this series did not make me any less excited to read it as I grew older!

There were way too many different povs and I think it just made the story drag on. It was a challenge for me to even finish it.

I can't believing I'm saying that I'm sad the series is over. I guess I just have a lot of nostalgia for these books. While I did like the ending (even if it was cheesy as hell) the 10,000 side plots were a little much.

This was a pretty good conclusion to the series. Some things were left unanswered and I feel like some things wrapped up a little too nicely. I also got bored during some bits. I loved the characters so much and they really made the book for me.

I honestly...for the love of god....to finish this. But since this is the library edition and I don't have a copy of this book, it's going back tomorrow, so I thought I give you a little book review about it.
Basically, this book is about how Satan Darkstar is planning on going to heaven, while the nephilim are regrouping to find a way to stop him. One of the nephiilms, Aaron, got hurt real bad so while he's knocked out and out of action, so these other group of angels, called the Unforgiven, and his girlfriend, Vilma, and his biological mother, Tracy, are trying all they can to bring him back.
On top of that, the Metatron Enoch, who is currently with Jeremy, is trying to figure out what he was born for, and when he found out, he screamed in the store real loud, attracting assassins.
Honestly...I was looking for Sam, Cas and Dean in the whole entire book. I have no idea why I was looking for them when I read this book, but it did interest me a lot that I wanted to read more, but then I couldn't :( Though this book was already turned into a show called Fallen starring Mr. Paul Wesley (yeah...THAT STEFAN SALVATORE) and I wanted to finish this book so bad, but I couldn't :(

3.5 stars.
This was a nice action packed conclusion to the series. At first I struggled to get back into the story and the characters but once I got back in I couldn't stop.
