Angela Ramos doesn’t have what it takes to join her friends in the all-girl gang, the Destinas. She’s too soft, too kind, too meek. But when a drive-by from a rival gang accidentally catches her in a hail of bullets, Angela loses one life and wakes to a new one. Conscripted into service as an Angel of Death, Angela will see a whole new world full of good and evil. She will be charged with leading her friends away from the dangerous lives they’ve been leading before it’s too late while preparing for an upcoming battle against the darkest forces of all. Breakout author John Cady brings the first in a trilogy of young adult Christian fantasy in Angela of Death. A coming-of-age (after death) story that breaks the boundaries of everything we have been taught about the battle between good and evil.
Angela Ramos is just getting used to this whole Angel of Death thing when her new boyfriend, Shawn, makes the ultimate sacrifice and joins her in the afterlife. But even angels have issues. Angela and Shawn must figure out their own relationship while facing new challenges on every side. Dark angels, demons, and a mysterious Goth girl stalk the pair and their friends, ready to strike at any moment. And while lives will be lost--they are Angels of Death, after all--Angela and Shawn have some powerful allies. The Lord truly does work--and appear--in mysterious ways. Now Angela and Shawn must work together to save their loved ones, right some wrongs, and prepare for the ultimate battle of good vs. evil.
Being an Angel of Death has never been easy, but now Angela, Shawn, and the rest of the crew are up against their hardest mission to date: protecting their own families. Lucia's mom wants help from Angela's mom in polishing up the Destinas' bad-girl image. Shawn's disappearance has now garnered media attention, putting the Destinos in a precarious situation. And Luis's dad spotted the gang of Angels at Luis's funeral... which means he doesn't have long to live himself. The Angels must battle the forces of evil against a backdrop of suspicion, judgment, and violence. Will evil win the day, or will the love of family--both blood and chosen--ultimately triumph over all?
