Book Review: Archangel by Misa Buckley

     Gabriel had always been a runner. Be that packages being delivered for unsavory characters or from complication situations. After dealing with an abusive household growing up he vowed never to be like his father. The easiest way to accomplish this was a lack of ties. This had worked for him for years until he was hit by an SUV and given a choice by an angel: become a guardian of a woman or die. The choice was simple. Now, Gabriel must protect Abigail from a serial-killing demon. 

    I received a copy of this eBook from the promoter in exchange for an honest review. While I am not generally very big on religious books I figured one just dealing with angels couldn't be that bad. The battle between good and evil was exciting. However, the writing on this book leaves something to be desired. An editor needs to attack this book. There is everything from run on sentences to things as awful as the main character ordering a "double vodka, neat with ice" for a sipping drink. So many things wrong with that. For one, vodka isn't a sipping drink. Two neat means just the drink. I don't know if the author has never been to a bar or what, but yikes. That is just one example of please edit this book. 

    Other than the editing needs it's an interesting story. A woman has visions of women being murdered, forced to experience their deaths at the hands of the killer. The killer has made a deal with hell to gain demonic powers by killing 13 innocents, with Abigail set to be the last of the 13. If he succeeds there will be a demon loose on the human realm able to cause untold death and destruction. While the angels are unable to get directly involved there is a loophole. They can make a deal with a human who is in purgatory to protect the innocent and rid the world of this killer by whatever means necessary. In Gabriel's case this includes killing. 

    There is humor, romance, death, and action within these pages. All in all it is a good read as my only complaint is the need of an editor. My favorite character would have to be Charlie. Again, I have a thing for red heads. Plus he's Irish so it was unavoidable that he'd be my favorite. Especially considering he was dependable while still teasing and joking throughout.
