BLURB:
An angel and a demon walk into a bar…
It should be the start of a joke, except Emmett and Phoenix loathe each other the moment they meet. Reluctant and mismatched partners they may be, but they’ve been given a job to do on Earth: persuade the newly dead to move on to wherever they’re destined to go.
A friendly word here, a nudge there, all the dead should need is a push in the right direction—but dark forces are working against the pair, and the mission takes a dangerous turn.
From hate at first sight, to toleration, to something more… Except time is running out, and soon Emmett and Phoenix will be torn apart and returned to the worlds from which they came. That’s not what they want, and neither is willing to go back without a fight…
…. Because even though they’re dead, they’ve never felt more alive.
This is book 3 in the series, but all can be read as standalones.
REVIEW:
Emmett is so bored in Heaven. Heaven is a dull boring place, no fun nothing, everyone was so happy peppy, and that forever and ever, ugh.
Emmett is a lucky angel he gets the chance to go back to earth and work together with someone named Phoenix.
Phoenix didn’t meet one reasonable soul in Hell, not one, there are only liars and cheaters. (Duh)
Going back to earth for a job seems the best idea.
So here they are, back to earth, with a mission from Hell and Heaven, they have to work together.
The Angel and the Demon have to find out why and who let souls hang on their way to Heaven or Hell.
Working together on it seems at first sight a piece of cake, but don’t forget they can’t stand each other.
So, so much fun, it was everything!!
To review this narrative without spoiling is a task, I have to keep it vague. Well, I have to give you something, don’t I?
Maybe I should tell about some funny things, how they hate each other, or maybe about they can talk to dead people, or about the hilarious humour, or the gore, or how desperately Nix wants to be close to Emmett but instead making him mad because he can’t show he’s vulnerable, or maybe about Emmett’s nonexisting memory, or about the whole alphabet of insulting names they call each other and secretly hurt by them, or the hurt they’ve been through on earth, or maybe about the fact now they are back on earth it made them insightful about their past behavior, or about the delicious hate / not hate sex. Nah I won’t tell about those things, LOL. Oh, and certainly not about Cat or Harry, their adorable, endearing sidekick.
The plot was ingenious and from the highest level. I love this author’s mind. When you are familiar with this author’s storytelling, you know you will get a pearl in your hand, and omg, it was a beautiful shining pearl.
Every step, every turn in this book was unpredictable and unexpected, it was a delight for me as a reader.
The author has an amazing way of constructing a story on solid pilers. Captivating af!!
To be honest, I couldn’t find a negative thing to say about this narrative, I enjoyed it immensely, it was consistently good, the humour was tremendously good. The conclusion was epic.
