Radiance
by Alyson Noël
If heaven is real, then I sure hope it is like this! Alyson Noel makes it sound so idyllic,especially the part about being able to have exactly what I want just by thinking about it. Wouldn't that be lovely?
For those of you who may not have realised this book is a spin off from the Immortals series which featured Ever, Riley's older sister. Riley has died in a car accident alongside her parents and her beloved dog Buttercup. This book gives an idyllic look at what we might get up to in heaven, if we ever get there. I was so glad that Riley got to keep her dog with her, as in my version of Heaven all our animals would come back to us, so I was pleased that Alyson Noel seemed to have similar views.
Riley is given a job in heaven as a Soul Catcher, which involves her coming back down to Earth to help troubled souls finally pass over. Her first assignment finds her at a castle where the Radiant boy is scaring the wits out of everyone who stays in the Blue Room. Riley, a sassy twelve year old, takes on the Radiant Boy and won't give up until her assignment is completed. I really liked Riley, although it scared me how mature she was for her age and I worried that her voice didn't always fit her age, but then I found myself looking at my eleven year old girls and fearing the worst for the forthcoming year!
This is a short delightful read that can definitely be read in an evening. An ideal book for a reluctant reader who has shown a spark of interest in the paranormal world. A fun lighthearted look at death and the afterlife.
