The Seed Bearer (Genesis Series 1) by Brooke Adams

Summary:
What happens when the forces of good and evil confront each other over the love of a mortal woman?

All hell breaks loose.

An earth-shattering secret hidden for two thousand years finally sees the light when archaeologist Claire Raines goes in search of her mentor at Cambridge University, who has mysteriously disappeared after leading the excavation of a fabulous Neanderthal find in a treacherous labyrinth of caves on the Island of Majorca, off the east coast of Spain. On her arrival, she meets with the government representative in charge of the operation, tall, dark and stunning Vincent Demarco, who menacingly dissuades her from continuing with her search. But the truth of the matter surpasses her wildest expectations when a visit to the site with the leader of the original rescue expedition, gorgeous, blonde and blue-eyed Daniel Robinson, reveals fossilized vampire skeletons. The course of events leads Claire to suspect that Vincent is behind her mentor’s disappearance, who may have fallen victim to a secret conspiracy.

But nothing is what it seems and, unknown to Claire, Daniel and Vincent are in fact seed-bearing archangels and archrivals with the common mission to find the Host and impregnate her to create a new human race as part of a divine plan. When Vincent brutally opens her eyes to the truth of her identity, she struggles against her own personal beliefs and convictions. To make matters worse, Claire becomes pregnant and finds herself swept up in a crescendo of passion and heartbreak.
But falling in love with a mortal goes against the rules, and Daniel and Vincent must unexpectedly team up to protect her from the wrath of Archangel Michael himself when Claire refuses to accept her destiny… and the terrifying truth about the child she is expecting.

Reviewer: Amlyt
I honestly tried to like this book but the content was over my head, there was just too much information. The concept of the book is interesting but the way it was written made it confusing. Like the blurb said it was about archangels and that's why this book caught my eye but the paranormal angle was more that.

I have to give it 3 out of five stars. It would have been better if was longer, as it needs more time to explain things since it is the first in a series. I also didn't see the point of the Bible verses at the start of each chapter, as they didn't appear to add anything to the story.
