This is a light, fun read with a good plot, likeable characters, and some humor. Recommended for an easy read.

Thanks very much for the free review copy!!

A very interesting concept that just didn't come to fruition for me.
The pacing was slow, there were far too many details and was kinda sad that even in a fictional book there were so few women as lead characters.
I thought it might be "good omens" -esque, and should have maybe gone into with different expectations. Wanted to love it but lost my attention.

I enjoyed reading "orders from above". This book is story of what happens when a mysterious coin was found while digging a grave in a remote village and series of events it triggers. The characters are relatable, realistic. The eternal fight of good versus evil in a story that is filled with sense of community, good faith in a charming village setting, mixed with a good dose of subtle humor makes this book an enjoyable read.

I just finished reading this book and truly enjoyed it. Orders From Above is a light hearted look at what angels can do amongst us. Do you believe in angels? Sometimes it seems that there are powers at work in our lives that can only be described as supernatural!
The characters in this book are very interesting and likeable. An easy read that takes you through the lives of some very ordinary people with "big" problems or character defects and some really special people too!
Oh there are angels among us and they are working for the benefit of the people of a small town. Nigel and his wife Amelia are offered a "job" that neither one of them wants to turn down. After all they are in need! The result of this "job" is a wonderful outpouring of blessings on the people whom they come into contact with! Needless to say, it's a light hearted look at the possibilities when there are "angels walking among us"!

I really enjoyed this book with all the twists and turns! The slate of characters are really interesting too! I'm sure you'd enjoy it as well.

Laced With Gentle Humour…
A private detective, an old fashioned village and the universal and never ending struggle of good versus evil and the human condition. A completely unexpected, quirky and thought provoking read, nicely written and laced throughout with gentle humour.

Orders From Above is such a fantastic story. It's about an architect and his wife who are expecting a baby, two brothers Nick and Gabe, who are much more than they appear, and a small village with plenty of eccentric characters. They all come together to create this story about relationships, generosity, and how kindness and caring can bind a community together. I loved the characters and the small village was the perfect setting. Such a well-written and fabulous book. I did not want it to end. I can't wait to read more from this author.
