Chandler McGrew (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 18, 1999

Liz Durham is dead.

She just doesn't know it yet.

She died on the operating table after a terrible automobile accident.

But, at the same instant, on the table next to her, a fourteen year old girl died too, the victim of suicide.

By a fluke their souls, one bound for Heaven, the other Hell, were united and unable to pass over into the afterlife. They were returned to their bodies and now, two years later, Death has returned and is demanding his due. Liz and Meg must free their souls and save their lives without sending one or both of them straight to Hell.

This review is from: A Certain Slant of Light (Hardcover)

This is a very unsual ghost story. Megan McCloud commits suicide to escape her father's roving hands and her drunken mother's indifference. Liz Durham dies when she steps off a curb. The two die at the exact same moment. One is destined for Hell, the other, Heaven. But something happens, and their souls get crossed. They are suspended in limbo, where they have to figure out what happened to them before Death claims their souls for Hell. Certain Slant is highly imaginative and suspenseful, but it has one major flaw. Liz shivered so much that I wanted to give her an Alaskan parka and several down comforters to warm her up. Also, there were many typos in the book. That is the one downside to these print-on-demand publishers; they do not check your work for errors. For those aspiring writers who cannot get that Big Break, hire an editor or proofreader to look over your work before you submit to Xlibris or any publisher of this caliber. You'll turn out a more polished piece of work that will eventually get picked up by a prospective agent or big-name publisher. Aside from this bone, I loved the book. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Chandler McGrew has definite talent.
