This is the second in the Angels Walking series, stories about angels assigned to walk on earth. This book can be appreciated without having read the first one in the series as sufficient back story is given in this one.The story of Marcus and Tyler continues in this novel. Two angels, Jag and Aspyn, are given the assignment to watch over Marcus, an LA Dodger pitcher, and Mary Catherine, roommate of Tyler's girlfriend. Something great will come from a romance between the two, if the angels can pull it off. Mary Catherine has a serious issue that convinces her loving Marcus is not a possibility. The enemy of God sends his demons to thwart the good work Marcus is doing for youth in a dangerous and gang dominated part of the city. The two angels have a great deal of work ahead of them.This novel is a thought provoking one. This is a second chance for Jag. He had been on an assignment ten years ago where he lost a young man to the enemy. We read about his emotions, the rage he has against the gang leaders. I guess I hadn't really thought about angels having a personality that might include the capacity for such strong emotions. One of the hardest things about being an angel, Jag thinks, is having more knowledge and power than humans, but not nearly the knowledge and power of the Father.The angels also speak of their experience on earth, that the earth is so full of pain. This is a very complex assignment for them as there are so many people and events that need to be coordinated for the result to be what God desires. In the course of the novel we are introduced to the horrors of the gangs in Los Angeles. The kids are so young when they get sucked into the gang lifestyle. We also get a peek at prison life. It is not a pretty picture.
