Angel Cafe

by Jill Morrow

THE TRUTH LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE... South Baltimore's Angel Café is a trendy new eatery where patrons can enjoy exotic tea, aromatic coffee, and the psychic readings of clairvoyant Tia Melody. The star and main attraction of the restaurant, Tia claims to channel an otherworldly guide, Valentine, and somehow knows all there is to know about her expanding list of patrons. Kat Valenti is a workaholic attorney still coming to grips with the death of her fiancé, Peter, who died two years ago. Although drawn to the Angel Café, she is skeptical of Tia's readings -- until her late fiancé 'contacts' her to shed new light on how he died. Kat's wariness only grows as more clues turn up about Peter's death -- and all of them lead back to the Angel Café. Tia Melody is no simple fortune-teller, and Valentine is no benevolent spirit. Valentine's true power may be almost limitless -- and he doesn't want to tell the future anymore... He wants Kat.

I basically devoured this book in two days. Any free moment, I actually locked myself out of fb to finish. Soaked in each scene that played out. Great writing. Did I enjoy it? Ehhhhhh.
What started out as innocent psychic readings at Stephen Carmichaels new age Angel Cafe, turns into a cultish read very quickly. Then turns into some perversion mind control. Then into a battle between religion and darkness. It got little wordy at the end and could've finished much sooner. But it was overall a good read. If youve recently experienced grief if a loved one, you may be intrigued. Idk, I'm left feeling very.....meeeeh. I don't think I'll read the sequel, though

First book I picked up and read from a hostel in Pai. This started out horrible, but then I got a little intrigued by the plot, and then the ending ruined it. So cheesy, terrible writing, awful character development. But it did its job of entertaining me for my long Pai car ride!

I love a book to transport me to another place, somewhere completely different from my normal surroundings. And I love a book that makes me wonder if the unthinkable might be thinkable after all.

Do you believe in psychics? Kat Valenti is about to have her eyes opened. Things go sideways when she takes the secretary to Angel Cafe for an application lunch. Will things ever be the same,?

I liked the idea of the Angel Cafe and really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, it devolved into not quite plausible Christian Good against Satanic Evil.

I loved this book. I met the author at the Random House book fair at Carroll Community College several years ago. I look forward to reading more of her work.
