Publisher's summary

Midlife is sheer madness, and the facts of midlife are not taught in school. Unfortunately, some lessons are hellishly hard to learn.

I thought I had it figured out. I was wrong.

Proving I’m the Angel of Mercy is turning into a shitshow of epic proportions.

Not too long ago, I was a 40-year-old gal with a stable and boring life ahead of me. Now? Not so much. I have celestial siblings who are no walk in the park. Their decisions can destroy my future.

And of course, my predecessor has given me a month to do the impossible or I’ll lose everything that means anything to me.

Gluing ghosts back together is turning out to be the easiest part of my job.

Fine. If this is my fate, I accept. Nothing is impossible if you believe.

I choose to believe.

Fun story

The series is fun, has laughter and fun interactions and very interesting concepts and characters. It has mostly been very enjoyable.

The meh side is that the major conflicts of the series rarely have a because.You go through the conflicts, make it toward the ending and then there's suddenly a, "Haha, just kidding! That conflict isn't over because I lied!" Not a plot twist, just a Sike! or the main character yelling at people to not give her the useful information.

This book did give much more satisfying resolution before the, "Haha just kidding you still have conflict out of nowhere!" cliff hanger, so I didn't mind the ending so much.

But if you enjoy being a fly on the wall for interesting and fun people interacting and bonding in an interesting world, then you should enjoy the series.

Short but good wrap up to the last book

I agree with others that this feels like it could have been the last chapters of book 6 which made those two books short. But considering all the prior books were included as part of audible plus membership, 1 credit for “6” stories is really worth it. Jessica’s performance of the characters is really enjoyable across all the books.

Basically the end of the book prior

I love these characters. And Jessica Almasy is their perfect voice. So this combo is always going to get 5 stars from me.

This novella should have been included in the last book, since it is essentially the last few chapters.

It’s worth it to pony up the extra $$ and finish the book.

Great series!

This is such a good series and I love each additional book. While it’s hard to see some of the beloved characters finally move on, I know it’s what’s best for them. I can’t wait to jump into the next book and see what’s going to happen.

Love this narrator

This narrator is phenomenal. She's funny and reads with excellent comedic timing and voices. She would make the dictionary fun to listen to.

What a great series ❤️❤️😂

I listened to the entire series in one go. All the feels cane to light….I laughed soooo much, cried and got angry. I have zero complaints…if any review say differently they need to start reading only non-fiction 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 💯🥰🥰

Liked, but found story info conflicting

I love these books, but this one had several continuity issues. For example, the character of Tim is revealed to be one sort of immortal in previous books, but is then referred to as something entirely different in this one. There are many other examples, but overall the story was good.

Entertaining, but short

Great continuation of the series. However the books seem to be getting shorter and shorter.
