Beau and Edgar have been best friends from birth, but couldn’t have had a more different start in life.
Having finished school for good they make plans for the summer of a lifetime but a tragic accident cuts their dreams short and lands them in Heaven facing a stark choice.
Do they want to stay in Heaven and train as spirit guides or reincarnate into a new life?
For Edgar the choice is clear: having had a miserable existence once before he is in no hurry to try again, for Beau the magic of Heaven is no match for real life. But his heart overrides his head and Beau agrees to stay with Edgar. They begin their training at Heaven High and await their assignment.
When they are offered a secret undercover assignment to protect Emma Havering the boys snatch the opportunity to live as humans once again.

For Beau and Edgar, keeping Emma safe might very well rip them apart.

Ok, found this and it was free so I thought, why not :) am sooooo glad I did!! I loved getting to know Beau and Edgar, and the introductions to Heaven was surreal... Anything you want just there.. ! I loved that in their classes for being guides they witness the birth of a child, which so happens will be their charge to watch over! Loving the introduction of the angel Gabe and his confusion in being around Beau and Edgar! Must find book 2! :)

if you can overlook the occasional spelling and grammatical errors then what you get is a pretty decent read overall. I enjoyed it and could see myself reading more in this series.

Like most paranormal books, this one is your typical good vs evil trope. The only difference is it isn't just angels against the evil forces of hell, there's spirit guides too. Two of which are our main characters, Beau and Edgar, who died when they were eighteen without an actual explanation of how. The reader is told what happened, but not how it happened. Their death really irked me because there was absolutely nothing to explain how they went from being fine to being dead.
That wasn't the only rushed portion of this book. Instead of this series being written as one continuous story, it seems to be written as three separate stories featuring the same main characters. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if this book didn't seem so rushed. The ending was incredibly anticlimactic, and I won't even get into the amount of errors that are in these pages. And I'm not referring to the fact that this was written in proper English and not American English. The story is rushed so much, it's akin to watching a movie at its fastest skip second function. There are a lot of plot holes due to this, almost nothing exciting, not even pg romance, because of how quickly the flow of the story is.
The only reason I'm even going to finish this series is because I bought the other two books, the story has a lot of potential if it were reworked, slowed down, and lengthened.
I give this book 3 of 5 Paws because I see its potential to be something great, it just isn't there as it is right now.

Heaven High offers a creative twist on the afterlife with a blend of high school drama and angelic missions. The friendship between Beau and Edgar is the emotional core, and the celestial storyline adds intrigue. While some plot points feel underdeveloped, the concept is imaginative and compelling enough to appeal to fans of YA fantasy with heart.

I got this book for free on a FB page as I was intrigued by the outline of the story.
It is actually quite a decent read although designed for young adults.
Two friends are killed one night in a road accident and find themselves in heaven which seems pretty cool to them as they can conjure up anything their hearts desire [ except their families].
In Spirit Guide High school they are given an important job to do and with the help of Gabe, the guardian angel of Emma they do manage to save Heaven and the world

wanted to give it a 2.5. plot was okay. bit confusing to me. glad it was free.
NEEDS BETTER EDITING. I actually found a half completed sentence in here. ending felt really anticlimactic. idk. this book just didn't do it for me.
