My 5-Star review for 'Born into Chaos' by Lily Lamb, in entirety, posted at Amazon:

Aptly titled, the main character, Adamas, is a Halfling (half god, half human—man-beast) born into chaos when his deity of a father disturbs the balance of the universe by forcing himself on a human female he weds and beds.

Adamas’ physical, psychological, and emotional states deteriorate from the tortures he’s suffered and the crimes he inflicts on others. Over the centuries his sinewy body carried a hunch; one of his eyes had drooped and turned a translucent white; he developed the sharp canine teeth of a vampire.

The author’s vivid description and visceral storytelling relate a tale which takes place across the centuries through a blend of genres: paranormal, romance, fantasy, and myth. The reader feels Adamas’ anguish wrought by ostracization and isolation, unaccepted by either world he treads, and in desperate need of being loved.

Most endearing to me—the contents of chapter 20 and beyond, for its focus on a destined, though seemingly unlikely relationship between Adamas and Phoebe. The roller coaster ride beset with conflicts and overwhelming strife had me reading with apprehension over the story’s outcome.

I highly recommend this novel which teems with relevant issues and themes. My favorite, by far-- Love gives rise to spiritual redemption and happiness.
