The mission work in this one was exquisite. I enjoyed Mary Catherine’s heartbreaking journey. Talk about emotional!

Though it was claimed that “the angels had done everything right,” their actions made me uncomfortable. One let the air out of a car’s tires, and a pair of others flagged down a pilot to halt a flight from taking off. Those actions (and others) felt too controlling, too manipulative of the human realm, especially considering that God grants humans the right to choose their own path in life.

I’m not sure I believe that a pair of romances are life-and-death serious in the grand scheme of the spiritual status of all Americans’ souls for the next generation, as this book (and series) claimed. This driving point was unrealistic to me, so a huge aspect of this trilogy was lost on me.

It was great to see how respectful Marcus was of Mary Catherine’s preferences in their relationship. It’s encouraging to know that chivalry is still kickin’.

The Angel series by Ms. Kingsbury has been thoroughly enjoyable. I've always been a fan, but it is nice to see her branching out from the regular contemporary romance books.
