Review: "Which Exit Angel" by Chris Redding
We've had a very odd summer in my neck of the woods this year, including a lot of rainy days. Rainy days
mean longer naptimes around here, and a perfect opportunity to curl up with a book.
She's an angel who hasn't earned her wings yet. He's a preacher questioning his faith. How are they supposed to stop the impending apocalypse?
"Which Exit Angel" was a perfect book for this. I'm a fairly fast reader, and was able to knock this out in about two hours (once you include stopping to help the eldest child a few times). The book was wonderfully fast-paced, and kept you interested right up until the end. I do feel like it ended a little abruptly, but don't you always with books? It also took a concept I know I've heard of, but never actually seen in action, and that would be a angel as an investigator. There's far more to it than that, but you're going to have to read it yourself. I will say, it's a new take on angels, and I applaud Redding for going out on the edge and pursuing the line of writing!
There is a conflict in the book (not going to give any spoilers!) between the main character and a character we hear about by mostly mentions that I feel like was never quite explained or fully resolved, and that kind of bothered me, but hey, it happens! Redding ended the book well enough that it can be just done, but also left it open enough that a sequel could be a possibility. *For the record, I don't know if there is a sequel in the works, but I wouldn't complain!*
All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon read, especially if you like crime stories.
