A very strange story. The writing was bland and the storyline ill-crafted. It was entertaining, but the concepts were very strange.
The main character Antonio is the granchild of an angel. His mother the half-angel is killed off in the story and consigned to Hell since she does not have human seed in her-since Jesus died for men and not angels....??? (Antonio seems to just accept this and go on to other problems...weird..)

Original review at Jaunts & Haunts.
I gave this book four and a half demon-fighting stars!
This is my first reading of Montre Bible's work, and I was blown away! I honestly didn't know what to expect, you never do with a new author, but it was great!
This book centers around a young man named Andrew who lives with his mother in Heaven, Texas. She's raised him to be a kind, respectful Christian, but when strange things begin to happen to him and his mother, questions arise that have never been answered. Questions that lead to terrifying revelations about his family, his legacy, and a dangerous future.
Can Andrew face his family's past and accept his future? Is his faith strong enough to carry him through this trying time, or will he falter?
This book had so many great things going for it.
I think the highest pro on the list would have to be Andrew. His character is very well thought out, and I felt that he was portrayed excellently as a Christian high schooler, given his journey throughout the novel. He's not perfect. Everyone has doubts, and his faith is tested in many ways, but that's the great thing about Andrew. He's resilient and though he may stumble here and there, he picks himself back up and does the right thing.
The other characters were great too. His mom, Courtney, Mack. There weren't so many characters that I got confused and they each had their own unique quirks that made them very three dimensional.
The concept of this novel comes in at a close second on the pros. I love the theme of angels and demons, and enjoyed every second of it. This is a Christian-themed novel, and even though I'm not a Christian, I never felt like the novel's ideals were too harsh. I actually think the Christian theme made this book. It really tied everything together for me.
And of course, no book would be enthralling without a journey. Andrew's journey is fraught with turmoil, of threats seen and unseen. There was a great initial build up, the plot twists were great, and I couldn't see them coming, even up until the end. There's a lot of mystery tied to Andrew's family history, and I enjoyed uncovering the secrets as he did.
Ultimately, Heaven Sent is a stunning debut novel by an author with great talent. This story is a gripping tale of family, faith, and the power to persevere against your greatest demons, be they your own or summoned from a dark evil.
Can't wait to read the next book!

Book one in the heaven sent series. Imagine being a teenager and finding out that your mother is a Nephilim, Half angel and half human. Andrew Turner finds out some strange things about his past and future and has an inner circle to help him navigate through his life that has just been turned up side down. A very interesting read and I can't wait to finish the series.
