    About this ebook

    Carrie works at a diner in South Philadelphia, dispensing advice to humans and angels wise enough to seek her counsel. But there are some problems that even the best advice can’t solve.

    Her latest supplicant, Sebastian, is unique among those who have sought her aid. He sold his soul to a demon in exchange for his sister’s life, but his heart remains pure.

    Carrie has lived for millennia with the knowledge that her immortality is due to the suffering of others, and she cannot bear to see another good man damned when it is within her power to prevent it.

    In order to renegotiate his contract, Carrie must travel into the depths of hell and parley with the demons that control its pathways. As the cost of her journey rises, Carrie must determine how much she is willing to sacrifice to save one good soul.

      She goes by Carrie now, but she's had many names. She's lived for centuries and she owes her immortality to great loss. She knows angels and demons. She helps people and now wants to help a man who sold his soul for love. She'll go to hell and back, but will she succeed and at what cost?An intriguing storyline - one I haven't seen and well played. A good first start to, hopefully, a wonderful and long career.

      On a first glance Oracle of Philadelphia seems like just another urban fantasy novel. We have heroine Carrie who has some extraordinary powers but is disguised as ordinary mortal. Two guys who are total opposites (angel and demon) are hanging out with her, so it looks like there will be a love triangle. And she has a mission to save a good guy who sold his soul to the demon. A lot of kick-ass action, getting hot and bothered with both love interest and one solved soul later – and we get to the end of the first book of Earthbound Angels series.If you have imagined something like this – then you were totally, completely and utterly wrong. Because Oracle of Philadelphia is definitely not just another urban fantasy novel out there. Elizabeth Corrigan does not rush into action, she weaves her story slowly with a lot of flashbacks to clear up backgrounds and history for all the characters. To me at the end, saving a guys soul seemed like a secondary goal of this book, the primary was for us to get close and personal with Carrie and her friends: an angel Gabriel and the demon of chaos Bedlam.Carrie is bored with her existence and so jaded she thinks nothing moves her anymore. She lost all hope and does not even try to change things, just hopes the end will eventually come. Eternal life never seemed less attractive than when it’s described from her perspective. The only spark of life (or chaos) that make her existence bearable are irregular visits from her friends: angel and demon. As always, I immediately got attracted to Bedlam with his mischievous smile and wish to spread chaos all around. Angel Gabriel was too prim and stuffy for my taste.And then one day everything changes when Carrie gets motivated to stand up and try to change things again…“And I know that the world isn't fair. More than anyone, I know that. But I think that maybe it never will be if we stand by and let things like this pass. God made us, and He won’t stand up for us when we need Him to. And I can’t fix all the problems, even all the problems that I cause. But maybe I can fix this.”IN THE END...Oracle of Philadelphia is not just about war for souls between angels and demons, it’s about the value of family and true friendship, about never giving up and always staying faithful to your principles. Fans of breath-taking quick action scenes and hot love affairs might be disappointed at the beginning, but if they do not give up and keep on reading, Elizabeth Corrigan’s storytelling slowly introduces you to the world of Earthbound Angels and makes you yearn for more.Disclaimer: I was given a free eBook by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

      Man sells soul to the Devil to save his sister’s life. Sister is NOT pleased and wants him to get his soul back. He can’t. Enter Carrie (Cama, Cassia), diner owner and the Oracle of Philadelphia. She doesn’t think it’s fair he can’t get his soul back; so Carrie dreams up a plan to help. Maybe. Her Angel friend, Gabriel (yes, that Gabriel!) and her ex-angel friend Bedlam (aptly named!) have know Carrie since 1200 BC. Oracles cannot die nor can Angels and Bedlams. There is a professed psychic,. Madame Zarita who also hangs out at the diner but is no help at all.Turns out Carrie can separated her soul from her body without dying (Oracles can’t die) so she tootles off to Hell each night to find one of the seven archdemons - Lethe. Not that simple.This book was wonderful! I loved Bedlam (seriously, cow tipping??), Gabriel was so nice and Carrie was doing what a girl has to do to get results. Does she get Sebastian’s soul back – even if he doesn’t want it? Well…..download or buy this novel to see. I promise you it’s worth it!

      The Oracle owns and runs a diner in South Philadelphia. At this point in time she is calling herself Carrie, but she’s had many names over the thousands of years she has lived. She was born with a special gift, the ability to see inside a person, hear their innermost thoughts and experience their feelings. Her village Elders struck a deal with Lucifer and through no fault or desire of her own, at age 16 was made immortal in exchange for 10 souls from her village. Along the road of her immortality she has made two friends, a demon named Bedlam and an angel named Gabriel.When a man named Sebastian walks into her diner seeking the Oracle there is something about him that is different than all the souls she’s encountered and she’s compelled to help him get out of his deal with the demon Azrael. In order to do that she has to venture into Hell and find Azrael. Will going through the other demons’ domains and paying their price be worth saving one human’s soul? Carrie’s willing to risk it.This book drew me in right from the beginning. The story is well-written and flows smoothly and the characters are well-developed. I especially love Bedlam, though if he were my friend he would drive me batty. I also loved the flashes of Carrie’s past and how well they were integrated into the story. The depths of Hell were very interesting as well and I enjoyed Carrie’s journeys there. I’m wondering if she could travel to Heaven also? Hmmmm…probably not, but that would be something to see. I’m really looking forward to the next story in this series.*Book source ~ Many thanks to Red Adept Publishing for providing me with a review copy. Please see disclaimer page on my blog.
