Dig Deep, Fly High

If you’re just tuning in to my Guardian Angel adventure, here’s the ten-cent tour.

Everyone who goes to Heaven has a purpose, and a job. Not the kind with time clocks and tax returns—these are celestial jobs full of fun, wonder, and afterlife awesomeness. Unless you’re a Guardian Angel like me. Then the career description also comes with the adjectives stressful, strenuous, and super-complex.

My name is Grace Reyes Cardiff and I’ve been assigned to protect Henry Sun, an incoming college freshman, and my friend. The powers that be say he needs a GA because he has the potential to positively impact humankind in a big way. The problem, despite our friendship, this easygoing guy is turning difficult now that issues of control and free will are at stake. Factor in monster attacks across San Diego, and my French and fabulous demon archenemy, and an angel barely has time for a personal afterlife. Which I need in order to learn to fly with my new wings, master my latest powers, and go on my first date with a certain handsome sir in my angel training class. 

Yup, discovering the afterlife approach to soulmates, near-death experiences, and the boundaries of Heaven and Hellare going to be fighting for my attention this year as I undergo tests of character alongside tests in biology and chemistry. 

Too bad I have no alone time to study what with me harboring and trying to reform a demon fugitive in Heaven . . .
