Review:
This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys something a little bit strange, not easily explained and a dash of paranoia from their characters.
The short stories are ideal for dipping in and out of - especially if you find your reading time limited. With these you can enjoy whole stories in limited time.
I loved that there were links to other books by the author. There’s always something nice about a familiar name popping up.
There were some stories which were just a little too abstract for me however I enjoyed reading outside my comfort zone and there were a few which I particularly enjoyed. The title story ‘The Angel’s Gate’ was a firm favourite. I found the characters and the plot believable and really enjoyed the concept of the story and the way it was written.
It was also lovely to be reunited with DI Lorimar and Dorian again in this book.
If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary then The Angel’s Gate is definitely worth diving in to.
Blurb
Decisions are doorways, whether everyday or fundamental, all lead somewhere... But some choices reach a strange domain, a dark junction on the boundary between possession and loss, good and evil, life and death… A place where what should not be, somehow becomes what is.
Enter here for tales from that realm:
Mother's Mercy — A story of sacrifice where a woman yearning for a child finds an elderly mother paying a terrible price.
The Angel's Gate — The devout faith of a young seminarian propels him beyond conventional belief, towards wonders, horrors, and a new way to be of service.
Chicken House, Alaska — Grief and courage drive a silent, solitary child into the unknowable to protect everything she loves.
Figure Eight — Hope twists into despair as an ex-convict enduring the bleak captivity of addiction considers a potentially deadly shot at freedom.
Swole — A gym rat seeking physical perfection wonders how much pain his gains will finally demand...
This collection features the return of Detective Andy Lorimar (One Night Only) in the standalone novella Oubliette.
