"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

Tears in Crystal Vials

What if the angels caught each tear we cried In crystal vials trimmed with silver and gold, To lay at the feet of the One Who resides In Heavenly places to bless and behold?

What if the tears that we shed were collected And strewn in the sky to catch the Son's rays; His brilliant Light by each teardrop reflected Painting a bow to remind and amaze?

The Sovereign Lord can change crying to laughter And wipe every tear from our eyes; Replacing our sorrows with joy-filled hereafters And ashes with rainbows to color our lives.

Tears in Crystal Vials
by Belinda van Rensburg

"I found Elijah Hael - The Last Judgement really interesting and a new spin on how Angels are formed. And that no matter how dark you think things are, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. That maybe there is hope for everybody.

I would read this book again and I would recommend it to other readers."

A must read for Christians young and old!

"Sophia was raised in an orphanage and had no idea how special she truly was. Her best friend Anne came to the orphanage when they were both 4 years old. Little did Sophia know that she was written about in a prophecy that would take the girls on an amazing adventure across England.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I found out that this is the backstory to Steve Goodwin's Elijah Hael series. Although I haven't read the other novels, my interest has certainly been peaked. I loved how realistic the interaction among the characters were. The bond between Michael, Sophia, and Anne was unbreakable. The things I loved most about the story were the Christian values that it repeatedly taught and the fact that they were backed up with scripture. This was a fantastic tale about faith, love, and God's plan for our lives. A must read for Christians young and old!"
