Lost Angels is the prequel to the Lost Archangels series by Tatenda Creed. This story presents many common ideas of angels, but also new ones, to me at any rate – angels can talk to you more easily near water, they are weighed down by our prayers and despair, their actions are dictated by their purpose provided by God, and they can be childish and arrogant.
This book sets up why the Archangels are missing through a plot by Lucifer and his son Matthias as well as the Archangels’ mother’s plan to get them back. The main character, the watcher Jude Thaddeus has a plan for his own future, and Mathias has a plan separate from his father. Everyone seems to have a plan, without regard for God the Father’s plan. It was full of watchers, angels, and demons and touches upon vampires and reincarnation. The rest of the series will be about the finding of the archangels, and I’m assuming their love interests.
Though this book started out a little slow, it did get interesting and I look forward to seeing how the full books in the series turn out. The narrator, Gary Bennett, was a great narrator for this book. He had a range of styles for the different characters, and his voice just sounded as I would expect from an angel.
