I first read a Theresa Braun novel, when I read Fountain Dead. See my review HERE. I can’t remember how I got my hands on the book, but I loved it. So….when I got a chance to read her latest, I had to have it.
I love covers. Though this cover doesn’t do a lot for me, I can’t say the same for the short story inside. AND, if you want a few laughs, be sure and read her bio. 🙂
MY REVIEW
The Celestial Assignment by Theresa Braun is a very quick read at 28 pages. It’s hard to review a short story without giving anything away, but, here we go.
Will is assigned to baby girl, Celeste, for his angel training. He is not exactly the angel you may want watching over your child, but, hey, God is a forgiving god, right? Giving us opportunities to redeem ourselves?
I love characters like Will. He had no idea what the future had in store for him and I loved watching him learn, grow, and…
I didn’t see the end coming. I smiled at the twist.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Celestial Assignment by Theresa Braun.
GOODREADS BLURB
After a sudden death, Will, a misguided angel, is tasked with protecting a baby girl. Watching over her as she grows up and navigates the world appears a harsh punishment for his past failings. Can he redeem himself, or will he fall further from grace?
ABOUT THERESA BRAUN
Hmmm. What’s this? Looks like Ms. Braun left her computer on and her Goodreads bio open.
This should be fun.
What can we say about Theresa? I mean other than the fact that she’s weirdly obsessed with smiley faces :-). Like, seriously obsessed >:-*. It’s kinda scary :-O.
I think she thinks she’s from Renaissance England or Venice or something. I never could figure out which one it was. (She’s really bad at doing accents.)
She likes romance novels and crime TV, which are pretty much the same thing when you think about it. Ha! Am I right?
She has a hell of a singing voice. Seriously. It’s, like, seventh circle of hell bad.
She likes editing. A lot. Just wait till she get’s aload a this.
Cats. Shoes. Chips and salsa. In that order.
Yeah, that last part didn’t make sense to me either.

I too find it hard to review short stories, there is hardly anything you can say without giving away something!
for sure, especially when it’s this short.
Wow. Only 28 pages? I can see why you’d have a hard time reviewing it. It sounds like it could be a good story though. Is it like a prequel to a novel or something?
no. it’s a complete story. i did enjoy it, especially the ending.
28 pages… yeah that’s very hard to review without giving anything away! Also that cover…
he looks more like a demon than an angel. lol
I do enjoy these shorter reads too and find them hard to review. Love her BIO!
for sure. i love her bio too and smile every time i read it
