Eighteen-year-old Jordan Conway has always wanted to help people, but helping seven archangels to achieve their divine duty was never quite what he had in mind… When Jordan is entrusted by the head nun of his orphanage to deliver a mysterious backpack to a New York City address, he comes unexpectedly face-to-face with Archangel Gabriel. Their acquaintance fast uncovers a labyrinth of secrets that connect Jordan’s once-normal life to an ancient heavenly prophecy. Now, he must help Gabriel to reunite the archangels before evil forces grow too strong. Soon, Jordan and Gabriel find themselves on a divine quest across the globe, while deep in the pits of Hell, Satan plots his return to earth. To gain control, however, Satan needs the powerful prophetic objects locked safe inside Jordan’s backpack—and the devil will stop at nothing to get what he wants. With that notion threatening his only family and the safety of his newfound friends, Jordan must do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves and help the archangels succeed. If that means sacrificing all he thought he knew to go to war with the devil himself? Bring it on.

First Impression
Firstly, I like the design of the Book cover at first glance feels like it’s going to be a magical tale.
Set in the 1st person The Genesis of Seven gives the different Viewpoints of Gabriel, Jordan, Michael and Satan.
Beginning in a modern day, New York City amongst the crowds of the subway, Jordan, who is a orphan, bumps into a stranger with a distinctive tattoo of a skull on his hand. Jordan notices that where he goes the stranger follows.
Once he get back to orphanage he is given his belongings and told to go to an address on a piece of paper handed to him by one of the Sisters.
Reaching the address he heads to the penthouse where he meets Gabriel. Jordan’s world is later turned upside down when Gabriel confirms that he is one of the archangels. And that the time had come to stop the forces of evil…
Who will win? What is Jordan’s part in all this? Will he find out?
Straight away Genesis of Seven takes you on a journey of interesting events including some amazing biblical retelling.
Gabriel’s viewpoint of heaven in the beginning was very helpful in creating a image in my mind of the days before Satan was caste out with great description.
I found the more I read the more I had to know and before I knew it I had finished The Genesis of Seven. I look forward to reading the next book…
I would recommend The Genesis of the Seven as I really appreciate reading it and felt the story brought a new life to the biblical tales from old in the form of modern retelling.
