Disclosure:
I received an review copy of this book from the author in exchange for review consideration. They give me no money, nor do they in any way influence my thoughts – those are 100% my own for better or worse.
Edition:
Kindle e-book
Synopsis:
After a sudden death, Will, a misguided angel, is tasked with protecting a baby girl. Watching over her as she grows up and navigates the world appears a harsh punishment for his past failings. Can he redeem himself, or will he fall further from grace?
My Thoughts:
This is going to be tough, because this story is REALLY short, and I don’t want to give anything away.
I’ll just say this: I think that the “training headquarters” being likened to a 12 step meeting room was really clever. The afterlife sounds…bland.
Will is an interesting character. In a very short span of pages I feel like I got to a pretty good idea of who he is, and who he has been.
This is my first time reading anything by Braun, but I doubt it will be the last. I think it must take an awful lot of talent to create a totally cohesive story with a distinct beginning, middle, and end in just 28 pages. Her fans seem to really dig her work, and I think I can see why. I’m certainly counting myself among those fans now.
About the Author (from GoodReads):
Hmmm. What’s this? Looks like Ms. Braun left her computer on and her Goodreads bio open.
This should be fun.
What can we say about Theresa? I mean other than the fact that she’s weirdly obsessed with smiley faces :-). Like, seriously obsessed >:-*. It’s kinda scary :-O.
I think she thinks she’s from Renaissance England or Venice or something. I never could figure out which one it was. (She’s really bad at doing accents.)
She likes romance novels and crime TV, which are pretty much the same thing when you think about it. Ha! Am I right?
She has a hell of a singing voice. Seriously. It’s, like, seventh circle of hell bad.
She likes editing. A lot. Just wait till she get’s aload a this.
Cats. Shoes. Chips and salsa. In that order.
Yeah, that last part didn’t make sense to me either.
Rating:
Stories about angels can be kind of a tough sell for me (unless that angel is Lucifer), but I enjoyed this ultra-quick read quite a bit. Also, did you know she’s from St. Paul? Well, I was born in Minneapolis! We could have been practically neighbors!
