Defending Angels by Mary Stanton
3.0
I've had this on my TBR list since 2011 and I think I even have a hard copy, although I opted to listed to it on audio. I had pretty high hopes. I love books in which the protagonist can communicate with the dead, but I wasn't hooked right away and the book kind of dragged on for me. The main character has relocated to Savannah, GA after her uncle dies mysteriously in a fire and left her his law firm.
Bree meets a whole host of interesting characters as she is setting up shop, and all of them seem to be dropping hints about who she is and the path she "should" be following. I got a little frustrated with this part because I just wanted them to come out and tell her what she was working with so she didn't feel like she was losing her mind. Instead then hinted around and alluded to the fact that she was working with the departed, but it wasn't until the very end of the book that they finally explained some stuff.
Overall I enjoyed the premise and the characters. They are a quirky fun set, who have Bree's best interests in mind at all times. I got thrown off a little bit with all the celestial references and such. I may read another one in the series.
