"Let me start by saying I loved this book (Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code). It had a nice steady pace that kept you wanting more. The interaction between the 3 main characters; Elijah, Castiel, and Sophia is believable. This book is the second book in the Elijah Hael series however, you do not need to have read the first book to get this story it is completely stand alone. This book was very emotional and I did find myself crying so be prepared for that. Character development was spot on pacing was excellent and the story was engaging and immersive. I just wish that it had ended that is really my only complaint I love falling into Elijah Hael’s universe. Again I can not state how much I truly enjoyed this book!!!"
Rating 9.5/10
Recommendation: Genuinely good writing and story telling seekers will find what they are looking for with this book. Fans of the Elijah Hael series will love this installment.

The Musings Of A Book Addict
"The characters in the story (Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code) are very real, very believable. We have your good versus evil. Humans are unaware that a battle between demons and angels are taking place around them. Humans are the pawns caught in the middle. Nya is sick. She has been working on a DNA project for over a decade and now someone else is trying to steal it. I thought it great naming this person Cain. You immediately get the idea that he is working for the wrong side. He is actually trying to he a group of demons called "The Shadows".
The angels, Elijah, Castiel and Sophia have been tasked with protecting Nya and her boyfriend Isaac.
This is not your typical angel versus demon book. This is not the first book in the series, yet I was able to get right in and enjoy it. I will definitely need to read the first book to see what I had missed."

"the fluidity of this story was awesome"
"I am so glad that I had the chance to read this story (Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code). It was great!! Mr. Goodwin's writing style was wonderful. His descriptions of each character were very detailed and the way he writes his characters thoughts are realistic. I really enjoyed his writing style, it was easy to follow, descriptive, his transitions were smooth; overall, the fluidity of this story was awesome. I haven't read a book with great writing in a while and it was so re...freshing for my eyes and brain.
This story will definitely keep a reader wanting more. There were lots of suspenseful and action packed events that kept the story interesting and intriguing. I loved that Mr. Goodwin had very descriptive information on the advanced technology. It wasn't too in depth where a reader couldn't understand it in the story. I enjoyed the intricacies with the combined technology and biology, it was a very unique idea.
I enjoyed all the characters in this book. Mr. Goodwin really brings each character's personality out. They were realistic and relatable. He was thorough with most of the characters in describing each characters thoughts and why they had these thoughts. He described each characters physical traits, their non verbal communication methods and their physical movements very well. The characters were very different from one another and they were all likable, even the villains.
Overall, I would highly recommend this story for anyone that wants to read a thrilling, thought provoking action adventure with a touch of romance.
I haven't read the first book but I will definitely be picking it up since I want to get to know Elijah more. Out of all the characters, I thought Elijah was lacking a little but I think that was probably due to the fact that he had his own book. Mr. Goodwin hints at that in this book."

Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code review by an Independent Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock
Independent Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock
The Genetic Cody by Steve Goodwin, is the second book in the Elijah Hael series, but can be read an a standalone book. I suggest this book for young adults and adults.
There are two sets of main characters in this story. The humans are Nya and her boyfriend Isaac. Nya has just finished a decade long project to decode “Junk” DNA. Before she even has time to celebrate, a man named Cain is trying to steel it.
The other set is the angels Elijah, Sophia and Castiel. They are trying to protect Nya and Isaac from Cain. Cain wants to use it to help “The Shadows”. The shadows are sort of like a demon.
To make things worse, Nya is sick and has avoided her illness for years. But now it is catching up with her. Will she stay safe from Cain? Can she still have a life with Isaac before the illness takes her.
If you like sci-fi with some heartache, then I suggest this book. It takes a new look at God, Creation and Evolution.

Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code review - a must read for everyone
"Elijah Hael - The Genetic Code by Steve Goodwin is a must read for everyone. Once you open to the first page, it will grab you tightly, hold you down tightly and you'll watch those pages turn and turn and turn some more until you get to the last page. You will find it hard to put down until you finish reading it. Make sure you have your seatbelt on as you travel through this tale of love and danger. As you read you will be drawn in and feel as though you are a part of the story. This book gives you a good look on Christian living and a new and different interpretation of angels. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I look for more from Steve Goodwin."

Elijah Hael - Review via The BookJunkies Book Blog
First sentence: “What is your name?” Elijah looked around, puzzled.
Premise/Plot: Elijah Hael has died. The journey has not ended in fact it has only begun. We will follow him as he rewatches the highs and the lows of his life. Then its time to see what the rest of the journey is for Elijah.
My thoughts: I truly enjoyed reading this book! I found that I had an incredibly hard time putting it down. The pacing was good there were a few points where the pace felt a little off for me because it would get fast then slow down then speed back up, but overall it was a great read. I felt that the authors take on what happens around us that we don’t see was quite interesting. I have found myself talking about this book to people quite a bit.
Recommend: Absolutely! I already have been
