Children of the Gods - More in Heaven and Earth

Growing up in a cult's compound sets a pretty high threshold for weird, but Gabriela still isn't ready for this.

Raised to hunt the undead and supernatural, she's used to following orders, however reluctantly. But when on her latest mission she meets a man who claims to be the Archangel Michael, her life takes an even stranger turn.

For Michael, being captured in human form and forced to hunt treasures is unpleasant and confusing. While he knows this must be a heavenly mission, just what he's supposed to be accomplishing is unclear, but then so are many of The Lady's ineffable decisions, all-powerful deities being what they are. Still, when he meets his closest angelic brother in very human--and female!--form, suddenly his existence makes even less sense.

Thrown together with a memory-wiped Gabriela, they're surrounded by some extremely odd new friends: a seductive Egyptian goddess, a Finnish goddess with a penchant for bootie shorts and eviscerating her enemies, ghosts of actors who are obsessed with putting on just one last show, and an unusual yet friendly, mostly-human couple who insist on always carrying around their quirky black cat.

The more they learn about their captor's intentions, the more unsettled they are by whatever he plans to bring to life. Can they work together to free themselves, return the stolen treasures, and stop their enemy's evil plans before any more innocents can be destroyed?

Children of the Gods is both perfect for the new reader to the More in Heaven and Earth universe and will reintroduce long-time readers to many old friends from previous tales.

On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.

*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms.

The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read either in order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.
