Which Exit Angel

by Chris Redding

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 Angela Sky isn't an angel without her wings. Sunny Beach is a minister questioning his faith. What chance does the world have to survive if these two have to join together and stop the Apocalypse?


Excerpt:
 
He shifted in the booth to sit sideways, his legs on the seat.  A casual posture for someone who’d seen a dead body recently. Then he tapped his fingers on the table. His foot patted the back of the seat to the same rhythm.
 
“I need to ask you a few questions, Mr. Beach.”
 
“Reverend, actually, but everyone calls me Sandy.”
 
His smile made his eyes twinkle. A charmer, she was sure but that hadn’t worked on her in a few hundred years. Still it wasn’t hard to look at him. “Reverend then. What brought you down to a not-so-nice part of town late on Saturday?’
 
He turned to face her, his feet plopping onto the floor. “I work with the homeless.”
 
“I didn’t see any around.”

 

He shook his head. “You don’t when there are cops are nearby.”
 
“Is there a large homeless population in Sea Witch?” She choked on the town’s name.
 

He pulled two napkins out of the dispenser. “Not huge, but enough. They are more likely to get handouts from people on vacation so they gravitate down the Shore in the summer.”

 
She tapped keys on her phone to take down what he was saying. “What exactly do you do for the homeless?”

 

“I give them food. When it’s cold I give them blankets and try to convince them to go to the shelter in the next town,” Sandy explained.
 
His gaze had never wavered from hers as if he could see straight into her soul. She broke the connection by looking down at her notes. His gaze lasered through her making her squirm in her seat. She’d bet that stare had converted many a sinner.

My Review: 
This was different than other books I have read. Angela is an angel that has not got her wings yet. She is also in charge of solving crimes against other angels! Some angels are also known to humans. The whodunit plot was interesting an I had no idea who the killer was. It could have been anyone, even good and bad angels.  I am curious now to read this author's other books so I can understand more of her take on angels. 
Just when I thought I knew who the killer was the author added a plot about the world ending! Not only is Angela trying to save the world, but so is her new love interest. Who just happens to be a man of God!  
With the help of Gabriel and other beings there seems to be hope.
Angela soon realizes that there is more to life then what you want. Sometimes there is divine intervention and you are exactly where you need to be. You have everything your heart desires right in front of you, but your heart hadn't told your brain yet. The author did a great job of ending al the plots and I enjoyed the secondary characters as well. 
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!
