It's between okay and I liked and I see potential so I'm giving it a chance. I liked that the idea was something that I haven't seen before and I'm excited to find out what will happen next.

I had a lot of fun reading this one. The idea - a lawyer representing souls in Purgatory or Hell and who are appealing their everlasting judgement, was very interesting. I liked the set-up and her fellow angel helpers. Some interesting things were set up, and it included a fun mystery, too.
A slow starter.
