{"product_id":"9780692329801","title":"In the Beginning","description":"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.\u003cp\u003e\"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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Gothicly rich from Beginning to End, Cinsearae knows how to pull off an apocalypse.\" --Book Cove Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Bed Sheet Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017822617840,"sku":"9780692329801","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692329801_p0.jpg?v=1763608735","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692329801","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
