Steven Cabbott is a former spy with a dark past. He’s trying to change, but some habits stick hard. Real hard. For Steven, killing is one of those habits.

  • WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Thriller (Summer 2018)
  • WINNER: Readers’ Favorite Book Award - Bronze Medal: Fiction – Supernatural (2019)
  • FINALIST: Next Generation Indie Book Award - Paranormal (2019)

~~~

Steven Cabbott recently started seeing demons, even had to fight a few. Maybe it goes all the way back to his bat-shit-crazy mother, who killed his father when Steven was young, claiming his dad was a demon. Maybe she wasn’t so nuts, after all.

When Steven returns home to uncover the truth about his past, an old flame asks for his help. A mysterious cult has kidnapped her teenaged daughter, and he may be the only chance she has to get her back.

It seems like a simple case, but nothing comes easy in the fight between light and darkness. Heaven and hell are fighting over Steven’s services. Even worse, a fallen angel wants an unhealthy romantic relationship with him, and just won’t take no for an answer. Maybe. Maybe not. These days, Steven Cabbott isn’t sure of anything.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS an intriguing, thrilling look inside the great battle between good and evil, possibly leading to the End of Days, with the first book in the multiple award-winning “A Nephilim Thriller” series of supernatural thrillers.

D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review, says, “Readers who enjoy an injection of the supernatural rather than a story based entirely on otherworldly forces will appreciate just the right blend of paranormal tension and intrigue that bring this thriller to life.... [A] vivid, winning tale of a former couple’s confrontation with themselves, each other, and a wider-ranging threat that grabs the reader from the beginning and proves nearly impossible to put down. Thriller audiences will find Devil’s Den more than a notch above others in the genre.” [Pick of the Month – September 2018]

Review

"Non-stop action and chills abound in the astounding speculative novel. This book has a thrilling plot, complete with formidable characters, magnificently blended with heart-pounding scenes filled with blood and guts. It starts with a bang and continues to build to an explosive finish... All the elements in the story mesh well together to form an extraordinary novel that will enthrall those who enjoy books set in the real world with a touch of violence and a supernatural twist." Readers' Favorite 5 Stars"I love deep, dark, twisted stories, and Jeff Altabef has delivered. I was riveted, engrossed in the story, and, when I reached the end, I felt a bit let down...because I WANT MORE!" fundinmental (as eye see it)"Altabef's engaging tale is both wild and wholly believable. His carefully developed plot is high with tension and intrigue. Overall, it's an entertaining yarn for lovers of detective mysteries crossed with supernatural suspense."
US Review of Books "I'm a huge fan of Harry Dresden and Steven Cabbott is just as good although a bit grittier which is great." Amazon Reviewer

About the Author

EDITOR: In addition to a career as a newspaper editor, publisher, and manager, Robb Grindstaff has written fiction most of his life. The newspaper biz has taken him and his family from Phoenix, Arizona, to small towns in North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin, from seven years in Washington, D.C., to five years in Asia. Born and raised a small-town kid, he's as comfortable in Tokyo or Tuna, Texas. The variety of places he's lived and visited serve as settings for the characters who invade his head. His novels are probably best classified as contemporary southern lit, and he's had more than a dozen short stories published in a wide array of genres. His articles on the craft of fiction writing have appeared in various writer magazines and websites, and one of his seminars was presented at the Sydney (Australia) Writers Festival. He also has taught writing courses for the Romance Writers of America, Romance Writers of Australia, and Savvy Authors. Robb retired from the newspaper business in the summer of 2020 to write and edit fiction full time.

AUTHOR: Jeff Altabef lives in New York with his wife, two daughters, and Charlie the dog. He spends time volunteering at the Writing Center in the local community college. After years of being accused of "telling stories," he thought he would make it official. He writes in both the thriller and young adult genres. As an avid Knicks fan, he is prone to long periods of melancholy during hoops season. Jeff has a column on The Examiner focused on writing and a blog on The Patch designed to encourage writing for those that like telling stories. [AUTHOR OF: A Point Thriller Series; A Nephilim Thriller Series; Chosen Series; Red Death Series]

EDITOR: I love reading. Books have always been a part of my environment and my life. I taught English Literature for many years and my favorite part was watching students find their voice in writing. I edited at Weekly Reader for about a year prior to taking time off to have children. They are now writing their own stories, and reading as many books as their mama! I manage an independent bookstore in Chappaqua, New York called Scattered Books, which is my second home. I travel often with my family, and friends, and always make sure I find the bookstores wherever we go.

5.0 out of 5 stars The battle between good and evil is fought on all levels and all the bets are off

Devil's Den is the first book in Jeff Altabef's new series and it is good. Actually better than good, it's a five-star ride into a world where demons and angels exist among humans.

The world, that Jeff Altabef has built, is dark and sinister, only fleeting moments of hope. Steven joined the army after his mother killed his father and claimed he was a demon. Now, 16 years later, Steven sees demons and the dark side tempts him.

It's been two weeks, six days, and seven hours since I last killed someone. Pity, I really wanted to reach three weeks.
(Loc 253 Kindle edition)

Now Steven is back, trying to track down his mother and find out the truth about his father. One text message from a person he left behind sixteen years ago changes his search into a rescue mission. A teenage girl has gone missing and he has to find her before it is too late. When the truth behind her disappearance is slowly revealed Steven realizes that the battle between good and evil is fought on all levels and all the bets are off.

Devil's Den is a thriller combined with paranormal and dystopian and maybe even some apocalyptical aspects too. It may sound like a lot, but it is all perfectly weaved into an amazing story. From the first page until the very last, Devil's Den has a tight hold of the reader and there's no other choice than keep reading. Putting the book down is simply not an option.

Steven got a text all of a sudden from Kate , a long time ago girlfriend. He hasn't seen her in sixteen years. He had walked out then. And although he regretted his actions over the years, he was surprised. Steven is a bad guy. He has demons in his head and doesn't understand why. His mother killed his father years ago saying he was a demon. Steven didn't know then what he knows now. Kate's daughter has been kidnapped. She needs help.

Steven is a killer. He worked with an organization who did very bad things. Now he feels he has no redemption. But could he be wrong?? This turns out to be a battle between good and evil. And his mother is right in the middle of it. Can he rescue Kate's kid and save himself??

It's an interesting story set in a time years from now, where the one percent own everything and everyone else lives in squalor. I found it interesting and sad. But I likes the story and the battle has just begun. Lucifer wants Steven. Can he resist the temptation??

Read on my friends

5.0 out of 5 stars An urban fantasy that is nothing like anything I’ve experienced before
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019
An urban fantasy that is nothing like anything I’ve experienced before. This book is such a twisted cross of amazing things. Modern-day dystopia and Christian mysticism combine in a fundamental battle of Us versus Them. I’m a movie girl so those are the analogies I can best work with. There are the supernatural elements of Constantine, the social and emotional commentary of The Handmaid’s Tale, with even a bit of Spawn thrown in for good measure in the form of the message to be the master of your own destiny that closes out the movie, and this book. I’m not sure where all else the author is going to send Steven, but I know it’s an adventure I want to sign on for.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.

The book and story line were good but a little more background explaining and more details in certain areas (fight scenes and such) would go a long way. And, for God’s sake, tell your two editors to look up the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’! So many authors are doing it these days that I’m getting concerned for our education process.

I enjoyed the 1st person narrative looking inside the psyche of our main character fighting his inner and outer demons. Great beginning to this new series with great plotting and pacing. Plenty of twist and scope of the environment. Glad this is just the start of this adventure and i look forward to the next.Thank you lots Mr Altabef.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, heart pumping, gripping and rollicking good work of fiction
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018
Devil’s Den, the first installment in the new Nephilim Thriller series by acclaimed author Jeff Altabef, is a thrilling, heart pumping, gripping and rollicking good work of fiction. Set in the near future, the book paints a bleak view of a society owned by the rich and powerful who use the world as their play toy. Into this bleak future “reality,” Mr. Altabef injects a dramatic science fiction aspect of Angels and Devils and Demons who inhabit the strong characters in the book, for better or for worse.

The main character, Stevie, is haunted by visions and may be a demon himself! As he fights his way to protect the women in his life that he cares about, through a series of conflicts with lowlifes and powerful slimeballs, the strong women aid him in his pursuit of a sort of justice.

The author, Jeff Altabef, ends the book on a high and as a cliffhanger, leaving us wanting more of this fine read. Will Stevie turn into a demon? Will he fight the evil forces that inhabit him and his non-human bloodline? I, for one, can’t wait for the next installment of the Nephilim Thriller series. Will our future reality end on a good note or will corruption and evil prevail?

As an avid reader, Devil’s Den, is a great value. You can’t get much more entertainment for your money than from buying this thrill ride, engrossing and challenging yet accessible book. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

This book just made me angry as it dealt more with the abduction and religious mind control of 15 year old girls.

The anti hero is literally battling demons while somehow finding the time to find a missing girl.

I got through 26% of the book and could not stomach reading any more. Flipped all the way to the end, read the last five pages and seriously did not miss out on anything. There was enough of a recap at the end that I missed nothing.

The author's account in a tale of the Supernatural is quite impressive. While there is a lot of fiction, the reader is easily drawn into the identities within the story. I find the book riveting. I can't wait to read the sequels.

I found this book very engaging with interesting characters, especially the main one. As I enjoy the supernatural genre this book was just what I wanted. Even this book tended on the darker side and has some gore moments still there are plenty of moments of choices between good and evil. Will be waiting for next book:)
