Description
<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

As the characters were being introduced, the action was already underway and escalated to the last page. I look forward to more books from this author, especially the next in this series.</li>
<li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">This is an impressive and well written first book for this author. I have read many mysteries and thrillers so I am now a bit jaded and require a lot of twists, turns and surprises. This book delivered all of my mystery/thriller requirements! </li>
<li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">A twisting tale full of action. I thought I had it figured out several times only to learn that I had not done so. Put everything away and get ready for a great story.</li>
<li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">Wow! Bryan did a great job with Reece Culver! Exciting from the get-go. He tactfully introduces many main characters and keeps you moving with them all. Reece deals with beauty, deceit, dark secrets, wealthy villans and much more to avenge his father's brutal death. That Crystal Thomas is really something! It's a great thriller from a young author. I lost sleep until I finished this one!</li>
