Devine Intervention
Author: Martha Brockenbrough
Published Date: June 1st 2012
Published By: Arthur A. Levine Books
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance
Summary from Goodreads:
Heavenly writing, earthy characters, and humor that is wicked as hell.
Heidi is sixteen. Insecure. Unkissed. Unremarkable, she thinks, in every way but one: She has a guardian angel, Jerome, who whispers in her ear all day long, amusing her, confusing her, but hardly ever saying anything that might help her discover who she's meant to be.
Jerome is seventeen (for the seventeenth year in a row.) There is only one thing he needs to do to graduate from heaven's soul rehabilitation program for wayward teenagers: Follow the 10 Commandments for the Dead, and in doing so, keep Heidi safe.
Instead, he accidentally lets her drown.
Plucked from her body before she ever truly lives, Heidi wants more than anything to say goodbye to her family and best friend. Jerome, afraid he's going to be sent to the lowest level of Hell, wants to sneak her into heaven before he gets caught.
Neither realizes that Heidi has only 24 hours before her soul dissolves forever. And that might not be enough time for them to figure out how they were meant to live.

When I started reading the blurb, I thought, okay, another teenage romance, plain-girl-gets-hot-paranormal-creature story, albeit it sounds cool. Then I got to the rehabilitation line and went, "whaaaa?" It sounds great! It's a great pick for WoW, and I'll add it to my own TBR.
ReplyDeleteOuchie. It grows too fast...

I've been waiting for someone to pick this book! I love the idea of this one! It reads like a contemporary fic, but might just be a paranormal romance... Not sure what to categorize this one. I'm so excited for this!
