Small Miracles

Olivia Atwater

A “warm, funny, and wonderfully inclusive fantasy” (Sangu Mandanna), this feel-good comedy by author Olivia Atwater mixes angels, demons, romance, and chocolate into a perfectly petty and wickedly entertaining novel.
A little bit of sin is good for the soul.
Gadriel, the fallen angel of petty temptations, has a bit of a gambling debt. Fortunately, her angelic bookie is happy to let her pay off her debts by doing what she does best: All Gadriel has to do is tempt miserably sinless mortal Holly Harker to do a few nice things for herself.
What should be a cakewalk of a job soon runs into several roadblocks, however, as Miss Harker politely refuses every attempt at temptation from Gadriel the woman, Gadriel the man, and Gadriel the adorable fluffy kitten. When even chocolate fails to move Gadriel’s target, the ex-guardian angel begins to suspect she’s been conned. But Gadriel still remembers her previous job… and where petty temptations fail, small miracles might yet prevail.
Olivia Atwater explores love, grief, and the very last bit of chocolate in this sweet modern fantasy, full of wit and heart. Pick up Small Miracles, and enjoy a heavenly comedy from the author of Half a Soul.
Praise for Small Miracles
“Warm, funny and wonderfully inclusive, Small Miracles is a delightful fantasy about the extraordinary power of small, seemingly insignificant kindnesses and joys.” —Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
"Full of fallen angels, petty gambling, and lots of chocolate, Small Miracles is a sweet and cozy delight—think Good Omens with lower stakes and more heart. I fell in love with this ridiculously charming book and hope others do, too." — Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes

But then there’s Preacher. He doesn’t mind standing in Galloway’s way.
