Oracle of Philadelphia Spotlight~Review

Carrie works at a diner in South Philadelphia, dispensing advice to humans and angels wise enough to seek her counsel. But there are some problems that even the best advice can’t solve.

Her latest supplicant, Sebastian, is unique among those who have sought her aid. He sold his soul to a demon in exchange for his sister’s life, but his heart remains pure.

Carrie has lived for millennia with the knowledge that her immortality is due to the suffering of others, and she cannot bear to see another good man damned when it is within her power to prevent it.

In order to renegotiate his contract, Carrie must travel into the depths of hell and parley with the demons that control its pathways. As the cost of her journey rises, Carrie must determine how much she is willing to sacrifice to save one good soul.

Favorite Lines “At last someone else knows the truth.”

“Of course, I had promised Gabriel that I would never separate my soul from my body again. But then, I wasn’t some angel, to put a centuries’ old promise ahead of doing what was right.”

“And as for me, I had achieved my goal. I had saved his soul. And now it was time for me to go.”

“It’s you and me, right? That’s what you said.”

What a feel good book this is! Carrie (may not be her only name but that's the one I'm sticking with) by all accounts could be a different pouty person I mean who would blame her, she can't die and she hears every persons thought. I would be crazy from that alone. When she was younger her village elders (I use the term loosely) made a deal with a stranger to give her "gifts" but, not because they wanted her to have a good life but because they thought it would rub off on them. She carries guilt over there deaths. She has been beaten and shunned and still through it all she is this beacon of just WARMTH! It's a book that by the time I was done my smile was infectious. Don't think it's all rainbows though. There are evil demons and righteous angels and human suffering. It's just a great book! The author did a great job of making sure the reader wasn't confused when Carrie was reading thoughts and sucking you into this life of this fabulous woman and her hilarious demon of chaos best friend. Bedlam made me laugh until tears came. BRAVO!

I was given this book by author in exchange for an honest review

FIVE PURE FAIRIES
