[Dan Fitzimons · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is what's known as a weird western. It's a little different take on the genre. The primary character is Mabel, who is literally a fallen angel cast out of heaven and now lives in hell. The thing is, Mabel gets bored in hell and keeps turning up on earth. And it's a good thing she does as Civil War era earth is about to be invaded by Martians and her unique powers may be all that's stopping them. This is a novella length book and the action moves very quickly. it is a really fun read.
