Undercover Angel: Grounded by Lisa J. Allen

Book Summary

Trainee angel Phoebe Speedwell is stuck in the human realm and under strict instructions not to do ANYTHING. Which is tricky when she finds a dangerous beast in the school basement and unwelcome guests on her doorstep.

Helped only by her banshee best friend, a terrified trainee who’s completely out of his depth and a football-obsessed schoolboy, will Phoebe risk losing everything, reveal her secret identity and use her powers to save everyone?

Phoebe is a fantastic main character. She's a sarcastic, 503 year old trainee angel in the body of an 11 year old school girl, her best friend is a banshee and she lives with Auntie and what seems like a million cats! 

After (almost) completing her mission on the human realm, she was hoping to go back home. Unfortunately, vanquishing the banshees but letting Chloe the young banshee stay, isn't quite what her bosses had in mind so she's stuck for now.

Phoebe has definitely been given a tough deal but she won't let that stop her proving herself and becoming the love angel she's determined to be. All she has to do is stay put and resist interfering, then persuade the powers that be that she's much better suited to love than disease. You'd think that would be easy but a giant 3-headed dog, 3 Furies and some cryptic hints at her unknown strength, all make being docile that much harder.

I am now fervently hoping there will be more books in the series as book one was fun but now the overarching story is shaping up to be very intriguing! 

To make an Angel's Delight cocktail, put 30ml gin (I used pink gin for an extra flavour shot), 30ml triple sec, 40ml cream (or milk) and a few dashes of grenadine into a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass, then enjoy!
