Wormwood Trilogy

Rosewater is a town on the edge. A community formed around the edges of a mysterious alien biodome, its residents comprise the hopeful, the hungry and the helpless - people eager for a glimpse inside the dome or a taste of its rumored healing powers. Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again -- but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realization about a horrifying future.

"It appears as though every task Tiamat is ordered to carry out tears at his soul; but how can I know if that's true? How can I trust him, if he's the very one who destroyed this planet in the first place?" Tiamat and his brothers, a legion of one hundred half-angels, have orders to send all humans on to their final judgment. Yet in a moment of weakness, Tiamat risks his life to rescue a hiker named Kali from the very destruction he initiated. Kali, thrust from the surety of her world into the boundless hell of Tiamat's, must try to find a way to survive in the Earth's vast, devastated landscape. Plagued by a legion of Nephilim bent on sending her on, she is forced to trust the one being who could prove to be her greatest enemy. Nevins creates a world that is as vivid as it is frightening, and she peoples it with beings who are complex and terrifying. Beautifully written and darkly portrayed, Wormwood is filled with indelible characters with monumental choices to make. A thinking person's paranormal dystopian and a complex love story, Wormwood could be one of the most exciting reads of the year.
