Griffin Shaw was attacked and killed over fifty years ago. He returned as an angel guiding souls to the afterlife and was then punished for interfering in the human world. Griffin Shaw was given human form and is now half human half angel. He had always believed that his wife died in that attack but recently learned that she survived. Now he must find her, no matter what the cost, even if that cost is Kit Craig the woman he now loves. For him to be able to move forward he must put his past behind him and stop upsetting his Angel bosses or he may never make it past the pearly gates.

THE GIVEN is a supernatural mystery and the follow up to The Taken and The Lost by Vicki Pettersson. It is possible to read THE GIVEN as a standalone book, but I think you would enjoy it more if you read the other two first. In THE GIVEN the story of Griffin and Kit is tied up. Reading the previous books would give you a brilliant build up to this ending. Vicki Pettersson left room to write more books in this series if she chooses to do so, but if not it does not leave the reader hanging. THE GIVEN is a great story that I think you will enjoy, but of course all her books are.

SUMMARY

The dramatic conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Vicki Pettersson’s critically acclaimed Celestial Blues series—an inventive blend of paranormal romance, noir mystery, and urban fantasy—involving a fallen angel and a flesh-and-blood rockabilly reporter. After learning his wife survived the attack that killed him fifty years earlier, angel/PI Griffin Shaw is determined to find Evelyn Shaw, no matter the cost. Yet his obsession comes at a price. Grif has had to give up his burgeoning love for reporter Katherine “Kit” Craig, the woman who made life worth living again, and dedicate himself to finding one he no longer knows. Yet when Grif is attacked again, it becomes clear that there are forces in both the mortal and heavenly realm who’d rather see him dead than unearth the well-buried secrets of his past. If he’s to survive his second go-round on the Surface, Grif will have to convince Kit to reunite with him professionally, and help uncover decades of police corruption, risking both their lives . . . and testing the limits to what one angel is really willing to give for love.
