Lyrical and magical, Los Nefilim explores whether moving towards the light is necessarily the right move, and what it means to live amongst the shadows.
a guy who is half angel half demon has to go rescue his husband and long-lost son from celestial shenanigans. kinda reads like if the DaVinci Code and The Old Guard had a baby. that sounds entertaining in theory, but you need to work a little to convincingly write an 800 year old character, and for me this didn't hit the mark.
