About this ebook

 Gran is the most important person in Mary’s life. Mary would do anything for her. So when Eddie, a freshman at her school, asks Mary for help with his grandma, she can’t say no.

But what he wants is an exorcism.

Mary goes to meet his grandma with misgivings. She’s not sure how she’ll break the truth to Eddie. Elderly people can change. They can stop recognizing their loved ones. They can act like completely different people. Alzheimer’s can do that. Dementia can do that. But a ghost can do that as well.

Eddie’s grandma is possessed. But the ghost swears that she’s protecting the elderly woman because there’s something scarier than ghosts at the nursing home. An angel of death stalks the building.

With Eddie and her friends, Mary must find the angel of death and stop them, but how do you stop an angel? Mary will have to figure that out before the angel strikes again.

Ratings and reviews

A short book, but I think everything in the series is, I read it in only a few days and I'm a slow reader, a fast reader will do it it a day easy. Mary is approached by a freshman who thinks his grandmother, who lives with Alzheimer's disease at a nursing home, is possessed. Feeling bad for him, she agrees to meet with his grandmother only to realize that she is possessed, but the ghost is protecting the woman from an angel of death, meanwhile at home, Mary has a ghost with the hots for Gran. Fast-paced, the story unfolds cleanly and quickly, with the plot constantly rolling. The big issue gets resolved, but a few minor ones involving Kyle's weird behavior don't. I imagine this could carry over to the next story though.

I love this series. Can't wait for the next. The author says they are still learning to write, and I think they are doing fantastic.

These were my read on the bus on the way home from work. Can't wait to read the next one.
