Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf. You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/
This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody.
She's an Agent of Death who really needs to get a life.
As an Agent of Death, Madeline Black is responsible for escorting the souls of the dearly departed to the afterlife. It's a 24/7 job with a lousy benefits package.
Maddy's position may come with magical powers and an impressive wingspan, but it doesn't pay the bills. And then there are her infuriating boss, tenant woes, and a cranky, popcorn-loving gargoyle to contend with.
Things start looking up, though, when tall, dark, and handsome Gabriel Angeloscuro agrees to rent the empty apartment in Maddy's building. It's probably just a coincidence that as soon as he moves in demons appear on the front lawn. But when an unholy monster is unleashed upon the streets of Chicago, Maddy discovers powers she never knew she possessed. Powers linked to a family legacy of tarnished halos.
Powers that place her directly between the light of Heaven and the fires of Hell...
I really enjoyed this first book in the series when I read it back in 2012. I loved the characters, the plot and adored grumpy gargoyle companion Beezle! I just never got back to the series but I intend to read the whole lot next year!
It does seem to have some fun and quirky paranormal stuff going for it. Glad you're going to make a run at finishing up the series.
ReplyDeleteI've got a few like this that really need to be finished next year! They've lurked on the tbr since 2010-2012!
DeleteThis sounds fantastic, Chuckles! I have read some of Christina Henry's more recent works but never really considered looking at her backlist. I am going to have to add this one to my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteI really do need to get them read next year! I really enjoyed the first one and loved the characters!
DeleteLove the tagline and it looks like a good one to me.
