In the midst of a circle, you stand, clutching your ears. On one side, your guardian angel urges you to choose the righteous path, while the stalker demon whispers sinister temptations. Enter Angel Gabriella, tasked with warding off the demon's influence. Meanwhile, Jason, the manager of Paradise Hotel, fixates on money as the key to his plans. As Gabriella takes charge, she confronts Jason's greed-ridden heart. Aeron, Clare, and Bethany seek solace on the island, each grappling with personal challenges. Interwoven with romance, betrayal, and hope, Teresa O'Driscoll's debut novel explores the eternal struggle between good and evil, as angels and demons vie for dominance in the lives of complex characters.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an interesting story with ghosts and I usually do not like books like that. I would definitely recommend this book!

This book was a 3.5 stars for me…..not a bad story by any means but for me I found the beginning a bit hard to get into. There were a lot of characters and storylines and I found myself having to reread parts to keep track. It was an interesting read and showcased many different types of relationships and I enjoyed the struggle with good and evil and the choices we make .

I voluntarily received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and all opinions are my own .

I would recommend this book to family and dpfriends and I think it would be a great book club read

Although what seemed to be an interesting concept, unfortunately, I did not enjoy the book on this occasion. It started off very confusing, and the writing became highly repetitive. The book's pace was not consistent throughout, and I felt it had the potential for more. It isn't personally to my tastes but may be to someone else.
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to love this book, but unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling it from the very first page. I tried to keep an open mind and power through, but eventually decided to DNF it around 30%. I love the premise of the book, it just wasn’t a good fit for me.

2.5 upped to 3
There's a lot of potential and I was curious about this book. i think the mix didn't always worked as it seemed that the paranormal and the mundane didn't mix
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

I thought that this book sounded like a mystical and escapist read, unfortunately I struggled to relate to the storyline!
The storyline was slow paced for me and, although the characters had meaning, I had hoped for more connection.
I enjoyed the community feels and kept reading to take in the emotional caring aspect of the story.

Thanks to the publisher, NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this book.

I found this book really hard to get into, and sadly it wasn’t for me. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced copy.

This book sounded interesting and unusual with the mixture of real persons and their guardian angels, and some nasty demons set on causing havoc. I was also looking forward to a story set in warmer climates than what we're experiencing in the United Kingdom at the moment (with the first snow falling today).

The first few chapters where slow going, but definitely needed, as the author was introducing the many characters in the holiday village. Once all the persons and their angels had been introduced, and we've learnt what each of them contribute to village life, the story took off.
Greed, envy and self disbelief all feature, but the angels do their best to lighten the mood by encouraging their wards to believe in themselves and care for others.

In the end I was left with a positive feeling and perhaps a little kick up the back to not just "plod along". I really enjoyed the complexities, the way the locals "accept" the tourist - perhaps some less so than others - and how longer stay tourists almost become part of the community.

Not sure about this book I found it hard to get into the storyline and I couldn't get into it at all and found it to be a complete struggle.

Sorry it wasn't for me but thank you to Netgalley and John Hunt Publishers for this ARC.

What started out to be a really good book actually turned out to hurt my head. It was becoming harder to read as the story jumped from one character to the next. If the story has stayed with Beth who we meet in the first chapter.

I'm sorry I couldn't get into it due to it jumping around in characters.

I am usually wary of books that have religious themes - especially once they mention God but this one did not have a pious self righteous tone at all. Nor did it attempt to 'convert'., The story was sweet with a touch of bitter and ultimately left me feeling lighter and with a feeling of hope.

I had such high hopes for this one but found it a little disturbing. Too much back and forth and it seemed a little dark. I was hoping for a nice easy read.
