Nephilim
"So you think the Left Behind series explained it all? Not so fast! Within this book is a story of evil that inhabited the earth before the Flood, whose destructive power is once again unleashed on a community. This is a 'must read' for anyone who wonders if such a thing could happen today."

This was a reader recommendation, and it's actually turning out surprisingly good. Nephilim is a sort of twist on the vampire novel, a sort of supernatural detective novel set in a lakeside Colorado town, focusing on an ancient evil described in Genesis. Now, admittedly this premise seems to scream “Christian Lit,” but from what I've read so far I would be more pressed to associate it with the works of Stephen King (Bag of Bones, in particular) than lump it with the Left Behind books and all that jazz. Pawlish's writing is apt and efficient, keeping the story moving along steadily and swiftly. Characters are well realized, and the evil presence sufficiently creepy. Furthermore, having lived in Colorado for a few years, it's nice to see some of the towns I'm familiar with referenced in the book. I'll be sure to write a full review once I finish, but so far it's getting a thumbs up.
