Although this is definitely not a genre I would normally read I did end up enjoying it. Of course being kind of ancient I had trouble keeping up with all the imaginary werewolves, gargoyles, ghosts, vampires, demons and assorted people who had the ability to perform magic! I really felt for Eva, the guardian angel who really wasn't too good at her job--but she tried so hard!! Of course the Three Fates had to make an appearance and I was routing for Eva!! How she got all those disparate entities to cooperate makes for really good reading.
This book would be perfect for your tween and you might enjoy it also!!! But you better read it first-only you can tell what is right for your child! I was just informed that it is considered Urban Fantasy and meant for adults!
Caelum – Olde City Angels Book 1
Eva doesn’t claim to be a good guardian angel, but she tries. After she loses two charges, the Powers That Be begin to doubt her abilities. To redeem herself, Eva sets out to rescue Elsie, granddaughter of the former king of the Fae. A demon has kidnapped Elsie to complete an ancient ritual that will allow him to slip through the veil between Earth and Hell during the Sturgeon moon.
Thomas, an angel liaison, finally lands his first mission. But when he’s paired with the angel responsible for his uncle’s death, he has to put aside their differences to get the job done.With unlikely friends in tow, Eva and Thomas are in a race against time. Save Elsie, save the world—oh, and save Eva’s job.
