Book Description

Publication Date: January 18, 2010

As a half-demon master of the dark arts, Eve Levine isn't what anyone would call "angelic." That's exactly why the Fates chose her for the job. She's their secret weapon against the forces of evil.However, after five years, Eve is tired of being the designated rebel of the angel corps, expected to break the rules, then being penalized for it. When the leaderless djinn stage an uprising, Eve sees the perfect chance to get herself fired. As she plunges deeper into the demon world, though, she realizes she's in danger of losing a lot more than her job.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Armstrong (No Humans Involved) skimps on character development and plot in this novella, but makes up for it with accessible prose and a spunky protagonist. Deceased half-demon witch Eve Levine, now an angel, successfully managed to avoid employment during her entire mortal life, so she's not keen to spend her afterlife hunting demons at the command of the three Fates. Summoned from her vacation to settle a djinn uprising, Eve decides it's time to break some rules and get herself fired, but she quickly discovers that some red tape may exist for legitimate reasons. Readers hoping for more than a splash of romance or action should look elsewhere (one battle is summarized as I pounced. We fought), but the breezy, light dialogue has its moments, and Eve's reliably entertaining swagger will keep the pages turning. (Jan.)

From Booklist

Eve Levine—part demon, part angel, raised as a witch, former teacher of the dark arts, and current celestial bounty hunter in the employee of the Fates—is ready for a vacation. Unfortunately, just as she is leaving, the Fates summon her to stop some wayward djinn who are getting out of order. With their demon leader in exile and his minion possibly trying to stage a coup, it’s up to Eve to make them toe the line. Along the way she exposes plots and traitorous double dealings as she tries to get to the bottom of the problem before she can link up with her lover, Kristof Nast, for their long-awaited, pirate-themed vacation. This novella will primarily appeal to Armstrong completists, collectors, and, especially, to big fans of Eve, who has appeared in Industrial Magic (2004), Haunted (2005), and No Humans Involved (2007) as well as in Armstrong’s online stories “Escape” and “Expectations.” --Diana Tixier Herald --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Angelic (Hardcover)

This novella is for fans of Armstrong's work. We get a glimpse into Eve Levine's world as we see her as a part-time angel and part-time ghost. She is getting jerked around by the Fates and wants to quit her job but is called in to find out why djinn are breaking their contracts with mortals. We also get brief glimpses of Kristoff, Jeremy and Jaime. This fills in a couple of blanks for regular readers of Armstrong's books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Enjoyable Read From Armstrong, March 29, 2010

I must say that I am a big fan of Kelley Armstrong and try to read everything she sends out into the world. Angelic is a story about Eve Levine, whose book in the Otherworld series, Haunted, I must admit is not among my favourites. This is an incredibly quick read, and quite fun. However, I don't think that it is worth the prices that those who weren't able to get the book in its very limited release are being asked to pay. It's only about one hundred pages and tells us that though Eve may be a bit of a rebel, she is really on the side of the angels (and the Fates). Armstrong's afterlife is very interesting and creative, we were exposed to it in both Industrial Magic and Haunted. Again, if you can find this book at a reasonable price than it is certainly a fun way to spend an afternoon. If you can't it's not the end of the world as it doesn't really add to the series in a real way.

This is already a collectors item, but the story is well worth the read. It's got a great cover with 4 illustrations inside. The plot is basic, Eve tries to get herself fired from her job, but she takes us on a wild journey doing it. If you can manage to snag yourself a copy, I highly recommend it!
