Crossroads by Mary Ting
4.0
Crossroads is not your typical angel story. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I really loved it and I hope that the sequel is just as unique and captivating.
Crossroads is a place between Heaven and Earth where people who are in comas or have had near death experiences go (or at least they do when they are asleep.) Claudia has never had an experience like that but for some reason she can visit Crossroads. I couldn't guess why she could visit Crossroads but it was explained eventually. The idea of Crossroads was really interesting and the angels that guarded it were my favorite characters. I loved Davin. He was very fun and quirky. Michael was super romantic and such a sweetheart. Vivian was someone I would want as a friend and Caleb was shy but by the end of the book I felt like I knew him.
The story itself was the best part of the book. When Claudia crossed over into Crossroads she was marked. That meant that fallen angels and demons could find her and they were after her. I never knew when a demon or fallen angel was going to come after Claudia and it made the book very suspenseful.
Overall, Crossroads is a very unique story but it, of course, has its flaws. I would have liked to see more personality from Michael and a little more bravery from Claudia. I hope to see some improvements on those few things in the next book.
