Nathaniel is a fallen Arch Angel whose job it is to harvest
souls from evil doers on earth. As a Soul Weaver,
Nathaniel
uses those souls to weave replacement wings for his fellow
Soul Harvesters.
Chloe McCrea lives alone above the bookstore that's been in
her family for generations. She has been alone since her
parents died and over the past few years, social anxiety
issues have made leaving the bookstore more and more
difficult.
Chloe and Nathaniel's lives intersect as he is leaving a
soul harvesting. She was involved in a car accident and
Nathaniel is drawn to the scene. In a moment of weakness,
Nathaniel can't stand to see Chloe die and he saves her.
In
the process Nathaniel ties their souls together. A year
later, Nathaniel is sent to harvest a soul, and finds
himself at Chloe's door. Rather than harvest Chloe's
soul,
Nathaniel seizes the opportunity to spend some time with
her. Nathaniel and Chloe's connection grows deeper every
day, but their time together is limited.
SOUL WEAVER is well-written story that provides an
alternative to the traditional story of Heaven and Hell. I
fell more in love with Nathaniel with each page I read and
my heart broke for Chloe as we learned how she struggled
with social anxiety. Hailey Edwards does a marvelous job
of
building the world of Dis with incredible detail -- I could
feel the heat and smell the sulfur. There are some
wonderful secondary characters in this book that I would
love to see explored in more detail, so I hope Ms. Edwards
returns to Dis soon.
Since the accident that nearly took her life, Chloe suffers
from acute agoraphobia. Living alone above her family's
bookstore, she spends restless nights terrified by strange
visions . . . until a mysterious stranger appears and
offers
her salvation. Chloe is drawn to the ethereal, gorgeous
Nathaniel-but her haunted soul warns her there is more to
him than meets the eye.
An archangel who roams Earth collecting souls of the newly
departed, Nathanial is the sole witness to the accident
that
should have taken Chloe's life. Seduced by the purity of
her
soul, he defies Providence by saving her life. But his
attempt at kindness marks Chloe for damnation, and makes
her
an unwitting pawn in a game of unholy ambition. Now
together
they must fight the demons of Hell itself-for a love that
defies the boundaries of Heaven and Earth.
