Born Into Punishment

I wasn't sure what to expect from the title. Everything from dark imagery to my husband handing me a flogger while saying, "I've been bad," came to mind. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned husband. lol. This is a wonderful story with brilliant and likeable characters. Once again, @astone2292 shows his skills with the printed word and deserves a standing ovation.

The constant refrain is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"...never was the situation ever more so true...a thoroughly delightful visit to Sin City often called Lost Wages...Read on!!!!

If you're looking for a story with intriguing characters and an unusual and enjoyable take on characters that you might have seen referenced in the Bible (angels, demons, and nephilims), then this story is for you.  @astone2292 gives us a highly entertaining look into a world were those groups might interact, but not as you might expect, and when you finish reading this short story, you will be left wanting more.   You won't regret taking the time to read this story.  

Aaron has created a world where humans are the lowly, angels are the pretentious holier-than-thou, demons are the mischief makers and then there's Pelly. Caught in the middle, he's just trying to keep his head down and lay low. Until he hits the City of Sin. 

Head on into this tale with eyes and ears wide open. Aaron gives a wonderful glimpse into a world beyond our own. The humor alone is worth the read. 

I initially avoided this story simply because of the title. My mistake. Though the early pages come with darkness, both figurative and literal, surprises are waiting deeper in. No better setting for dark and light, sin and grace than Las Vegas. I will return to this story many times. Truly exceptional. I should have ignored the title and divided right in because this is Aaron Stone and he never disappoints.
 

The characters are angels, demons, and those undefined beings from the Hebrew scriptures, the Nephilim. While there is no definitive theological explanation for them, the author follows a brief passage in Genesis and suggests that they are the offspring of angels and humans, and that their descendants still exist and live among us. Hence, our protagonist. Add in supernatural powers, immortality, relentless pursuit by angels who want to destroy him, and finding himself in the hotbed of demons, Sin City, and you have the ingredients for a delightful and erotic story--one which cries out for more episodes and adventures. Well worth the read, but be sure to leave the author a comment begging for more!

This is a delightful story.  It is one which keeps surprising as it progresses, and helps see some traditions from a different angle.

The story is both complete in itself and wide open for sequels  Great job, Aaron!

Two thumbs up. We all need a little magic in our lives, and Aaron delivers in this tale. Beautifully crafted with great skill, it gives us a glimpse into a dynamic world that tickles our imaginations as it leaves us satisfied. Read this!

This story is a delightful, mischievous frolic in Sin City.  The unique and demonic characters are fun and full of razor-sharp humour. You'll learn why Las Vegas is less than angelic.  I was compelled to read this three times before risking a comment.  This is a naughty nighttime read.  You should definitely read this tale.
