Dusting Angels

by J.D. Smith

Dusting Angels is the harrowing tale of the final three days of a friendship. It begins as an average morning for Jay, Nikki, and Lenny; incapacitated by drug induced sickness and desperation. These overwhelming components would inspire an ill-conceived plot to rob a local drug dealer; a decision that would set the stage for a series of tragic events, including the accidental consumption of angel dust. This innocent miscalculation would induce a form of psychosis that would enable their demons to ambitiously hunt them down without restraint. The trio's families would be left aghast by the devastation; helplessly searching for anything that resembled a solution to the psychological scars that years of emotional and sexual abuse created. When dawn finally breaks, it reveals the pain their children carry; followed by desperate attempts to rectify their parental mistakes in order to salvage a small fraction of their children's innocence. Ultimately, Dusting Angels, is the story of love and hate; forgiveness and redemption.

[Lily Woodmansee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. Being in recovery, I could identify with the characters and how the lines between good and bad; kind and unkind; love and hate become blurred in the midst of your addiction. I laughed out loud and even felt my eyes well up in tears. I even began to have preferences in the characters. I loved the antagonist, Jay, and thought Nikki was a snob. Funny how we can get so wrapped up in a story, huh?
