A WONDERFUL STORY OF HOPE --ANGEL OF THE WILLOWS BY ANGELA GASCOIGNE

 

It’s a mid-summer evening on the huge, modern Elmwood Estate. A new tenant loiters, unsure where, exactly she needs to go. A sensation of dread eventually guides her to The Willows, a tiny cul-de-sac of four properties tucked away at the farthest corner. The tension in the air feels like an electrical charge and Rebekah fears she might have bitten off more than she could chew when she agreed to act as helper to Julian, Guardian Angel of Hopless Cases. But what choice did she have? Due to her relentless wailing in the Abyss, every soul in the Kingdom of Heaven had been driven to the end of their tether. So Julian offers her a second chance. Her task is to help some mortals even more hopeless than herself and in the process try to win back the love and trust of Luke, the love of her life. If she fails, there’s only one place she’s going – downstairs! But laying her hands on her larger-than-life neighbours, in order to heal them is sometimes easier said than done, With Obnoxious Audrey’s emotional outbursts, Rebekah’s chances of healing her seem impossible. And pretty soldier-girl, Gillian is stuck to Luke like a bad smell that just can’t be eliminated. Rebekah’s allocated time on Earth is ticking away. With every passing day she becomes weaker and she is still nowhere near completing Angel Julian’s task. Her beautiful wings have long-since turned to dust. What will be her fate? Rebekah aka Ruby forms friendships like she’s never known before in this story of true love.

Vision Quest5.0 out of 5 starsRomance, love, friendship and redemption.

December 14, 2014Format: Kindle EditionVerified PurchaseI am going to confess to loving “Angel” stories. Eons ago I use to watch all of Michael London’s ”
Highway to Heaven” series and I ended up with tears in my eyes at the end of nearly episode. LOLWhile living, Rebekah was a drug addict who fell in love with Luke. Though Luke loved her, he walked away from her until she could clean up her act and become drug-free. She cleaned herself up and Luke ended up proposing to her. BUT one of Rebekah’s former drug buddies dumped a roofie into her drink. She ends up overdosing and dying in Luke’s arms. Luke was devastated and believed it was a relapse.

Feeling hurt and rejected and not wanting Luke to think that she was at fault, Rebekah made a huge fuss in heaven. Finally she was tasked with going back to earth to live amongst some mortals who desperately needed help and guidance. The deal was, IF she made a positive difference on earth, she would once again become mortal. If she didn’t, she would travel the downward road to hell.

What a great start to an angel story. The challenge for Rebekah is that the people she is sent to help out, are pretty hopeless. Will she be able to make a difference before her time runs out?

Author, Angela Gascoigne has done a FABULOUS job in creating a cast of characters with real problems, challenges and “devils.” I found myself turning pages faster and faster to find out what would happen. Will Rebekah redeem herself in the eyes of Luke? Will she get him back? Will she be able to stay on earth or will she be banished to Hell?

This is a great “feel good” story. Romance, love, friendship and redemption.

About Angela Gascoigne

I was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne in 1965. In 2004 I relocated to West Cork in Ireland with my husband and three sons.

I've always enjoyed immersing myself in a good book and started writing myself around the age of forty. I was immediately hooked! I am currently working on my tenth book. I mainly write contemporary fiction for women but also have two short story collections and two books in the genre of memoir/diary under the pen name of Annie Lancester.

You'll find no billionaire superstars in my books though. I write about realistic people with realsitic issues in their extraordinary lives which are full of romance, laughter and lots of drama.

My books are like enjoying a girly catch up with your best friend. My characters and stories will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

Please also check out my other two books: The Caravan of Love and The Caravan Revisited by Annie Lancaster. You won't regret it!

THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES IN WHERE EBON SOUNDS LIKE IVORY BY A . NICKY HJORT

 

A Beautiful, Dark Fairy Tale

February 28, 2018Format: Kindle EditionA. Nicky Hjort has added to the beautiful, real-life fairytale world that she first presented in “Where Tyndra Turns to Ardnyt”. In this Norn Novella, we are given a glimpse into the true tale of Snow White, much deeper and darker than the Disney movie has presented. I love the colorful imagery and depth of each character, somehow familiar and entirely new. I can’t wait for the next installment!

I know this much is true…you need to read this book!

I know this much is true: This book has seriously messed with my mind! Outstanding book! Dark, intriguing, suspenseful, mind-twisting, grab you by your throat and pull you into a true nightmare kind of read! So well written with a truly twisted storyline that will not let you go until you reach the very end. These characters were very well-written and truly complex.

Evil walks the earth and he strikes every year on the same date and same time. Jill was the first, but she go away, so every year he tries to get someone just like her to replace her and become his “Queen”. This man, Kincade is truly twisted and no one knows just how twisted until you live through his hunt for his next victim.

I’m not going to go into the storyline as I feel that doing so would give too much away and you really need to read it for yourself to be able to grasp it.

I highly recommend this book.

I fell in love all over again

I first read this book a while ago and went back to re-read it. I fell in love all over again. This character has been through so much, and all you want is for her to find happiness and love. She is beautifully written in a strong, independent way. I related with a few of her issues and was glad to see how she overcame them and moved on. Usually, you read about the virgin and ditzy wishy-washy main character. I was glad this author went with a ‘real-life’ woman who had ‘real-life’ issues. This book has it all. You laugh, cry, and want to reach through a few pages and throat-punch a few people. Anxiously waiting for the next book!!!

“A lot of fun to read but maybe not on a spooky night.” – The House on Cedar Ridge by Pamela Atkinson

 

A mysterious ivory fan, a surprise marriage, and the suspicion a witch was among them…

In the great house of Cedar Ridge, secrets whispered along the corridors and hidden crevices. The morning sunlight upon the walls of the museum cast a deceiving appearance of serenity.

The residents of Locke Bay were aware of a stranger in their midst. A woman whose presence was felt by all. Many would soon be aware of her presence and the mystery surrounding her.

From award-winning, bestselling author Pamela Ackerson, a new time travel adventure has begun. Grab your copy today.

“Rainbow Learns to Fly, the second book in the Rainbow series, builds on the lessons of patience, self-acceptance, and helpfulness presented in Rainbow’s Promise.” – Rainbow Learns to Fly by Mary Clark Dalton, Illustrated by Michael J. Fuller

 

Rainbow has finally received his beautiful rainbow wings. Now he can’t wait to fly! How hard can it be? he thinks to himself. He’s thrilled when his dad tells him it’s time to learn to fly. Impatience rears its ugly head again as Rainbow is in a hurry to fly. “These things take time, Son. You’ll fly soon,” his father tells him. Follow Rainbow as he learns once again, some things are worth the wait!

Margaret Welwood, Scissortown

Perhaps upon graduation, or maybe on your wedding day, 

or with the birth of a child, you thought you’d arrived—and then found that another journey had just begun. So it is with Rainbow—after all, what does a butterfly need besides wings? And what wings these are, bigger than his dad’s, and glowing with the vibrant colors of Queen Alexandra’s side of the family!
And yet, Rainbow’s dad counsels patience and daily practice, requisites for true competence. Despite his initial impatience and the overconfidence that stems from lack of experience, Rainbow displays a teachable spirit. It is this patience and teachableness that Dalton wishes to instill in her grandson, and in all the children who read her stories.
Rainbow Learns to Fly, the second book in the Rainbow series, builds on the lessons of patience, self-acceptance, and helpfulness presented in Rainbow’s Promise. Rainbow is “human” enough to make mistakes, but wise enough to learn from them—and we hope the children who read his stories will also learn from Rainbow’s experiences.
