I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman is one of my top 3 favorite books of all time so when I saw this book likened to it I jumped in with both feet. But the best I can offer is meh. The concept is great but the delivery was lacking. It jumps right into the story with no introduction which sometimes can be a good thing but some background, heck even a few flashbacks would have been welcomed. I honestly thought that this was part of a series and that I had missed the first book. But nope. It tries for dry humour but doesnt succeed.

I couldn't finish this one or get past 30%. There was no backstory, no explanations about characters....I felt completely lost reading this. I like the premise but that's all this book has going for it.

My biggest issue with this novel is that it reads like a sequel. There's little explanation for the character’s behavior other than brief mention of events from the past. The premise is great, but lack of fully fleshed characters leaves you wanting more.
