Angels at the Table by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
One thing that I find with the Macomber books are pretty flimsy characters. This one is no different. The shallow characters make the story harder to grasp and care about the characters. I realize Macomber deals in love stories and there is an intent to simplicity. It would be nice to fluff out the characters a bit more to help better engage the reader.
The story is pretty typical for a love story with pretty typical troubles to draw out the tale and couch the whole thing as a year long Christmas story. The writing is on the poor side with plotting being far better.
The angel gimmick is fun with all sorts of science fiction magic. But the angel games are with the threats of not altering lives, which is impossible in any way it’s looked at. Logic plays little part in the story. Considering there are no extra costs for special effects and the angels are breaking the deal anyway, why not present more angelic magic that could also spark an otherwise dull story?
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 4 out of 10 points.
