Divine Error #1
Divine Error: Deutsche Ausgabe
A story about an Demonic Angel in Heaven, and an Angelic Demon in Hell. Damon always felt out of place, in his surroundings, and at his work. Most would consider it an ordinary problem, but Damon was an angel working in Heaven. When Damon was redeployed to work on a mission on Earth, things started to become interesting. He was, however, dismayed to find out that he had been assigned as a shoulder Angel to the most boring man on Earth, Joe Smith. Human Joe Smith felt stuck at work. His uninspiring job (and not so nice boss), left him exhausted. He hadn't made any weekend plans for the last six years! He had drifted away from his family, his social life and even, himself. Joe Smith was decidedly neutral, neither good nor bad, and both Heaven and Hell, sent their representatives to try and tip the balance, one way or the other. Damon's counterpart sent to Earth was a hopeless demon named Saynt. Saynt was not like the other demons at all. He felt helpless on Earth, without written instructions on what to do, from his Manager. Together, both Damon and Saynt were on a mission to turn Joe Smith, and tried to change his rigidly affixed, neutral moral compass so that he became qualified to get into either Heaven or Hell. Instead of just changing Joe Smith, however, they will discover that the mission will have transformed all three of them.

What happens when you get the wrong job?
When an Angel and a Demon end up in the wrong place all kinds of things go wrong. Aisha Urooj has asked that terrifying question for authors... "What if?" This is the take that gives the answer to this particular what if. It's a fast easy read. I found it a little funny and a little endearing .

Could not wait to read
An absolutely brilliant premise. I could not wait to read this. The first two chapters were gems, and I was laughing and nodding along in understanding and mutual respect for all the feels. After that it started feeling less like a comedy and more like a speedy monologue of Joe's life with a little of Saynt and Damon thrown in. The author clearly has a ton of wit and cleverness, I was hoping to see that throughout but Joes story was being pushed along to keep pace and no time for the humor anymore. Still fully worth reading honest!y, if only for the fantastic idea to play in my head on my own boring days. The story could use a bit of editing also.

A Fun Twist on a Classic Concept
Short but fun, the classic concept of a demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other was given a twist by author Aisha Urooj, with the demon having spent his life in Heaven, while the angel grew up in Hell.
Told through the eyes of Damon, the angel who doesn't quite fit in Heaven. After a brief rundown on what Heaven is like, and how annoyingly perfect it is for him, Damon is assigned as the angel on the should of the most neutral person on earth - Joe Smith.
Teamed up with Saynt, their mission (or project may be more apt as Heaven and Hell are run more like a business, with managers and the like deathly afraid of the guy in charge) is to sway Joe Smith one way or the other so his soul can be claimed by the winning side.
Through Damon's story, we follow him as he struggles to understand humans. His thoughtful, poignant extrospection of simple human concepts that are almost alien to angels. A few other words I noted down while listening were "charming" and "endearing", which when paired with "thoughtful" and "poignant" I think just about sums up this tale.
Mr Whiskers, I must say, was spot on. The cat living his best life while being totally superior to all other life forms was adorable yet strangely horrifying to think that is probably what goes through their minds!
Narration by Jason Melnychuk was okay, not the best I've ever listened to but far from the worst. I think the main issue I had was the lack of any distinctness between voices. For the most part, I could follow the thread of who was talking, but occasionally I was unsure if it were Damon or Saynt.
Quality too was okay. I did hear some very, very minor background noises... (faint scrolling and click of a mouse I believe) though nothing that detracted from the overall story. Good enunciation and sense of timing delivered the hits where they needed to be.
No re-take style errors that I detected, and I'm usually really good at picking up on those (where the narrator has re-recorded the same line but forgot to edit out the mistake) so that's a plus. I note Melnychuk has no other narration credits to his name, so the dedication to quality in this way is appreciated.
Overall, a fun, easy listen that'll get you thinking about who might be sitting on your shoulders.
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I have not let this gift affect nor influence my opinions of this audiobook and have left an honest review.

The plot of the story, a great deal of humor and as I listen, I find the occasional laugh lifts from my chest. More though, there are so many inconsistencies throughout, heaven, a place described of having all health food, but not a few paragraphs later the indulgence of fields of chocolate. Though the rivers of wine and there is no drunkenness, Damon describes his manager as spending too many hours at the rivers of wine.
The beginning with Joe Smith, had been described as a boring only child, and later after he quit his job visiting his brothers and sisters and meeting his nieces and nephews.
Still, beyond the inconsistencies, Damon - Heavens Angel is full of snarky and sarcastic narratives. Saynt in all his bore - is well, the bore. The direct opposition of these two characters is entertaining and good for the occasional snarky laugh.

I found this story while on Twitter one afternoon and I'm glad I bought it. It's a lovely short story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. When Damon, an angel from Heaven and Saynt, a demon from Hell find themselves on the shoulders of Joe, a most boring man, they wonder why? When you read this story you will be enlightened and I recommend you do. I found it funny, quaint and uplifting. The only negative is that there are minor errors, but these do not take away from the story.

This one I actually won on a giveaway.
Now since the beginning you can tell how much the characters actually are very relatable.
What appealed more to me it's the similarities between the protagonist Damon and anyone else, so it's very cool.
The plot is very nice and creative I enjoyed a lot.
Very recommended if you want to have a relax read.

Quirky and charming short story about an out-of-place angel in heaven who is assigned to a neutral humans’ shoulder. The angel bonds with their demonic counterpart who also feels out-of-place in hell. The moral of the story is to what makes you happy, because your hell might be someone else’s heaven.

Conundrum
Subtitled a comedy, I found this short read pretty much rambling drivel. The 3 principle characters (one of whom narrates) raised no interest and I'm surprised that this wasn't a DNF.

A error indeed
Both parties played matchmaker. A life was better because of it. There were clues throughout the story and in the end it came together.

Witty and fun!
I enjoyed this quick romp through Heaven, Hell, and Earth. The writer has a very witty style which made the comedic moments quite amusing.

Not a bad little book. It is very short, so can be picked up and finished in one sitting.
The idea is neat, but I feel Urooj could have expanded the story a little more.
