My opinion

brutal murders, divine beings and the environment. Does this fit? I had my reservations as to whether we can turn this into a harmonious blend. And Asa Black has managed, in fact, only in part.

The book is actually written quite well, but there were still a few points I noticed are negative. The story starts out very exciting with a grisly murder, but then leaves. Although the plot is still written exciting, but the connection to the Nephilim and the motive of the "evil" seemed to me very simply far-fetched to be satisfied with the thriller. What I got on my nerves a bit: Nova and the other protagonists had at each place to which they came, first briefly describe what was there previously ever been. It sounds trite, but if you read for the umpteenth time, must ensure that the place used to be a monastery, a green meadow was, etc., it is an already negative in the eye.

Here are some examples:
"... went up the stairs to Ryssgarden whose name went back to the Russian camp houses over seventy, who had been standing there in the seventeenth century."
"When Nova went outside and saw the stairs to Stockholm's oldest square in front of him, [..] In the seventeenth century he had served as a place of execution. "
" Lost in thought happened Nova, the house number thirteen, the houses in the fifteenth century, a monastery for the elderly and sick people had. "

These sets run through the whole book. I had often the feeling that the author has encountered in her research on some interesting historical facts about Stockholm, which they now wanted to put in the book, which is not in itself, reprehensible is. Unfortunately, other than a short sentence, nothing more to say and so they remain descriptions unnecessary edge information, one has immediately forgotten.
by Nova but also you get some facts about pollution, especially the problems of carbon dioxide emissions with. However, this makes me even from Ökothriller not just because the murder victim polluters.
Nevertheless, the story of a good suspense and 3 / 4 of the book I found really exciting. But then the thing came with the divine essence ... well, from then on the killings were just a little implausible. Perhaps the author would have more but to restrict it to a Ökothriller rather have a supernatural component to bring in. Currently working At a continuation of Novas history, perhaps there is some more background about the Nephilim delivered.

This book I recommend, therefore, rather only to those who like such a genre mix and excitement, but not too much emphasis on positive motives . lay
