I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand I like the premise. Its Supernatural meets West Wing. Actually there was literally an entire season of Supernatural dealing with a not so good President and meddling angels but I digress.
We are following the mishaps of Grant Austin. Pulitzer Prize winning author for his book on the President currently in office. What he doesn't know is he is just a pawn. Forces are in control and he played right into their hands. He apparently is an attractive man with a weird sense of humor. He sounds like someone I would like but he is written in a way that I almost couldn't stand him. Women weren't represented well at first either. I mean the first thing I do when I meet a new female friend is not have a girl power pow wow about our mutual ex and talk about clothes but whatever. Nor do I fly off the handle easily, actually I don't know many women that actually do. But maybe me and my friends are different and other females would get unexplainably jealous and irrational because of a complete misunderstanding.
Moving on, once we know Grant's purpose in this wondrous world it got better. Too bad that was 3/4 of the way into the book. But once we see the whole crazy situation laid out it got way more interesting. I really don't like how Grant handles everything but I was rooting for him in the end. I felt for him. How could someone as insignificant as him be so important in the grande scheme of things. How can a normal guy be so important to the war between good an evil. How can one man change the world? Grant is going to find out.
I liked the book eventually but getting to the better side of Grant took forever. I know he is written to be a sarcastic butt but its a bit much. I will probably read book two because of the ending. So if you like a twisty Good vs Evil book, give it a try. Just be forewarned the main character can be a beating at times.
I got this book for free from Netgalley to read and give my honest review.
