5.0 out of 5 stars
You will love it !, November 20, 2007
This review is from: Into Thin Air (Mass Market Paperback)
Into Thin Air by Cindy Miles is a fabulous book - I could not put it down. I am not a paranormal fan more of historical romance junky and I love this series. This novel takes places after Spirited Away (you don't need to read this novel to enjoy - but why not enjoy both novels). Ellie is found on the side of the road near death in northern England by Gawan. Here is the twist Ellie caught between being dead and alive. Her physical body is lying somewhere and Gawan(her guardian angel and hunk) has to find her body,solve the puzzle before he retires and the clock is ticking. You will laugh, cry and be on the edge of seat, Enjoy!
I would also recommended;How to Abduct a Highland Lord by Karen Hawkins, Spirited away by Cindy Miles,Have Glass Slippers Will Travel by Lisa Cach,Crazy For You by Kate Angell and Highland Knight by Cindy Miles(due out June 2008).

5.0 out of 5 stars
Really enjoyed it !, February 17, 2008
This review is from: Into Thin Air (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be far better than 'Spirited Away'. (Perhaps it's because I read other books similar to it.)
On to this book:
Gawan, who's a rather hunky guardian angel, is a thousand years old and close to retirement. This is something he waited for a long time, when he literally knocks into a dazed woman wandering about in a stormy night and soon realises that she's not quite 'dead'. It's her spirit he sees.
Ellie is trapped between two world and would die if her mortal body is not found. The race for Gawan to find her and save her before it's too late is filled with urgency and fear since the corporeal Ellie doesn't know where her mortal body is and Gawan has less than a month to go as an angel who can help save her before he becomes mortal.
During their frantic search, they fall in love.
To fail means that he would lose her forever... and therein is the catch. Even if he does save her, either way he still loses her.
As a guardian angel, after Gawan saves a soul, neither will remember each other. Now this is personal for him because he's discovered that Ellie's his soul mate... and losing her is not something he can bear to contemplate.
Spoiler Alert!
When disaster strikes, and Ellie dies, he does the only thing he can, he bargains for her life with the powers that be, and lets her go. His memories of her fade and Ellie doesn't remember him.
However, all is not lost.
He and Ellie didn't count on Gawan's houseful of interfering, but interesting residents. The ghosts. They had quite happily interfered in every aspect of Gawan and Ellie's romantic life.
Those lovable characters were not prepared to let them forget each other, and the things they do to get them back together was hilarious.
Really loved the scene with Ellie and the mirror. That was wonderful.
Read it, it's a wonderful story.

This review is from: Into Thin Air (Mass Market Paperback)
Less than a month from the end of his centuries-long tenure as a guardian, Gawan of Conwyck finds a woman near the side of the road, but she's more dead than alive.
Ellie is his next assignment, but she can't remember what happened to her or who she is. She keeps disappearing as her corporeal body struggles to keep her among the living. Gawan knows it's his obligation to help her, but if he fails it will mess up his retirement plan and he won't get the mortality he so desires. Worse yet, he discovers that Ellie is his soul mate and if he succeeds in his task they won't remember each other. Together they need to unlock her memories to unravel the mystery of who she is and why she's mostly dead. What happened to her? Can they save her in time? And what about love?
Into Thin Air by Cindy Miles is a sweet, mostly light-hearted romance that will appeal to paranormal fans looking for something a little different from the usual vampires, demons and beasties. Spirits and angels take center stage and the ghostly supporting characters in Gawan's life provide comic relief and add a sense of family and home to this heartwarming love story. Gawan is a hero almost to die for (just ask Ellie) and Ellie is plucky, intelligent and likeable. Together they make for a tale that will leave readers feeling warm and content. The mystery has just enough twists and turns to keep readers engrossed until the very end.
Although this follows Miles' first book, Spirited Away, and there are some recurring characters, this can be read as a standalone.
