I'm trying to tackle and fight myself into a new path in life. In doing so, I've adding more things to my To Do lists and more things to my TBR lists. BUT that also means more ARCs for me! :D Here's Shannon Mae's "A Beginner's Guide to Ghosts, Fallen Angels, and Other Afterlifers." is the fourth novel in her Demonic Disasters and Afterlife Adventures series. It debuts June 19, 2024.
["Cass has always had the sight. Although his official job may be to run his coffee shop, in reality he deals with grumpy ghosts, troublesome demons, uptight angels, and all sorts of paranormal issues. When the archangel Gabriel gives him a message that he has to help a gray angel, it’s just par for the course for Cassius. But who could predict that Kushiel would be the brightest soul Cassius had ever met, even if the angel can’t see that about himself? Cassius is determined not just to save the afterlife (and possibly the entire universe), but also to save one very sexy angel (who just might be his soulmate) along the way.
Kushiel’s work is his life, and if angels shun him and he feels like he never quite fits in with demons, at least he has the souls he redeems. That is, until someone steals his entire purpose in the afterlife. Some vague clues from a demon seer send him straight into Cass’s coffee shop, where he learns some surprises about afterlife rules. With a little help from Cass, Kushiel is sure they can solve the mystery, especially since the coffee shop owner is the kindest, sweetest, sexiest human he’s ever met. Now if only he could figure out how to respond to all the compliments Cass keeps sending his way, because surely someone as wonderful as Cassius couldn’t be interested in a gray angel."]
And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["Kushiel is hurting, and Cass is happy to offer comfort and compliments; afterlife rules are more complicated than angels or demons knew; Aunt Ro keeps trying to not-so-subtly send messages through flowers; Cass runs into demons, angels, ghosts, a sea monster, and a hellhound; messages from seers and through oracles are annoyingly mysterious; Kushiel likes being told what to do, and Cass likes taking charge; Kushiel will finally get his own happily-ever-after (Cass will make sure of it)."]
These book seriously just continue to get better and better. Shannon must have a deal with some hellhound or lesser demon, because this series just keeps one-upping itself. The love, the lust, the trust, the Feels in general?! The plot, the characters, the backstories, the side-plots, the potential for more (more stories, more novellas, more everything). I can't. I have to go fan-girl-swoon now.
We have two Quotes of the Day again today.
1) Cass asking his ghost aunt what the villain-of-the-day is doing "'Oh, he's monologuing.'"
2) And our dear, sweet, misunderstood (but still cheeky) Luce: "'Yes, there is pain. There is torment. There is grief and sadness, and there are those who are lost. But there is also love, there is also hope, and joy, and happiness.'"
Also, a new dark(ish) romance with hellhounds (serial killers with a moral code)?!?! Yes. PLEASE. And as Shannon said, there are sooooo many books left in this series of demons and humans who need (and deserve) a happily ever after.
