    About this ebook

    When the angel Asrial discovers that the halos of the Fallen have been kept in Heaven against their eventual return, she speaks out against Archangel Michael’s plan to make war on them on Earth. For her insolence, she is driven from grace and ends up in the parking lot of a Jesuit high school. But can she, a priest, a demon and two high school kids stop the Apocalypse... and redeem the Fallen?

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have

      [From the Amazon review]As with all books, what the reader brings to the reading will influence what the reader feels the book is about. I am pretty darn sure that the author didn't intend some of *my* readings -- there's a certain character I just wanted to drop an anvil on, plain and simple, with no sympathy for that sort of behavior -- but I enjoyed it anyway, so I'd say that's a win.I don't have much experience with Christian-oriented books; I mostly avoid them, being someone who tends to check "Other" on the appropriate box, and who got enough of being preached at when growing up. However, this book, though it deals with angels and priests, is *not* one I'd want to avoid. The elements of spirituality are inclusive, not excluding (unlike many of the people who preached at me when I was a kid).So even if "religious" elements might turn you off... try a sample. These are not traditional angels, being neither greeting-card-pale nor inhumanly stern. These are not traditional demons; they are neither malevolent nor anti-heroes. And the grackle... Well, bring your own experiences to the reading, and see what you come away with. Me, I came away with a lot of enjoyment.

      Oof. That's...quite a story. Some very different angles on religion, particularly Christianity. And a magnificent story, and amazing characters - kind of what I expect from M.C.A. Hogarth, of course. Also the part where the characters suffer serious mental and physical pain - here inflicted by others, more than by themselves or their circumstances (well, for most of them, at least). I had to read the last third of the book, at least, through tears. The grackle is...peculiar. Not a creature that's usually thought of as a holy messenger... Very glad I read this, and I suspect I'll read it again - but not for a while, it's not a light book.
