Waiting on Wedesday #17


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on....



Devine Intervention by Martha Brockenbrough

Releases on: June 1st
Add on: Goodreads.

Heidi is seventeen. Insecure. Unkissed. Unremarkable, she thinks, in every way but one: She has a guardian angel, Jerome, who whispers in her ear all day long, amusing her, confusing her, but hardly ever saying anything that might help her discover who she's meant to be.

Jerome is also seventeen (for the seventeenth year in a row.) There is only one thing he needs to do to graduate from heaven's soul rehabilitation program for wayward teenagers: Follow the 10 Commandments for the Dead, and in doing so, keep Heidi safe. Instead, he accidentally lets her drown.

Plucked from her body before she ever truly lives, Heidi wants more than anything to say goodbye to her family and best friend. Jerome, afraid he's going to be sent to the lowest level of Hell, wants to sneak her into heaven before he gets caught.

Neither realizes that Heidi has only 24 hours before her soul dissolves forever. And that might not be enough time for them to figure out how they were meant to live.

Thoughts:
With so many heavenly tales and stories of angels out there, Devine Intervention sounds like a breath of fresh air. It looks like a fun, quirky read, full of humor and with a great storyline. The two characters seem like people I'd really like-- I'm looking forward to this one!

What do you think? Sounds good, huh?

Tell me, what are you waiting on this week?

  3. What the heck. I have seen this around SO much, I even have it on my goodreads wishlist, but this is the first time I've read the synopsis. Yes, I'm an idiot. I think I added it for the angel factor and the cover :D But okay, I am totally excited now! It sounds like such an entertaining read! And like you said, a breath of fresh air in the angel genre. WANT!
