Editorial Reviews

Sniegoski is back on track with the fourth adventure of angel-turned-PI Remy Chandler (after 2010's Where Angels Fear to Tread). The Sons of Adam, who watch over the first man until he's allowed entrance to heaven, hire Remy to help them find the long-lost key to the Garden of Eden, in the form of a descendant of Eve. Along the way, Remy fights a violent cherubim, encounters the archangel Malachi, and finally begins dating again. Sniegoski nicely juggles a large cast and throws in some touching moments (Remy's conversations with his late wife, Madeline, are especially sweet) and humor (as always, provided by Remy's dog, Marlowe) to balance the epic violence. There's more than enough nonintrusive exposition to let new readers jump into the story, while longtime fans will appreciate the development of recurring characters such as fallen angel Francis.

From the Publisher

Boston PI Remy Chandler, otherwise known as the angel Remiel, receives a strange request from a group calling themselves the Sons of Adam. The Garden of Eden, long detached from the world since Adam and Eve's great sin, is returning, and the Sons need Remy's help to find the Key to Eden's Gates. The fourth installment of Sniegoski's series (A Kiss Before the Apocalypse; Dancing on the Head of a Pin; Where Angels Fear To Tread) takes on cosmic proportions as Chandler seeks to prevent a cataclysmic event that could destroy the world or deliver it to God's greatest adversary. Chandler is a sympathetic figure, torn between his fierce angelic nature and his adopted human persona. VERDICT Series fans and the growing audience for angelic fiction will gravitate toward this well-written urban fantasy.
