As the Venators investigate these locations, they will quickly learn how dangerous their lives are. Hearts will be broken. Teammates will lose their lives. And they will face obstacles which will test their faith. As danger grows, the fear of fallen angels and demons regrouping has the Divine Elders on pins and needles.

Angels warring against demons,what's not to love? I was immediately draw in to the characters.By the time I finished reading I was messaging Mary Ting telling her I was now overcome with the urge to complete my reading of The Crossroads Saga(I only read book 1) because I wanted to know more of Michael and Claudia's story. And it isn't all fighting and Angel business,there is plenty of humor and playfulness instigated by the "grown ups".

Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children’s chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
