R R Reynolds

This is a great read. Reynolds’ inventive mind weaves together biblical power with human weakness to present a frightening, yet humorous, good and evil tale. Set in central Wisconsin, where good beer and transforming angels protect humans from hateful demons, anything can happen — and does.

What is this tale like? Picture yourself winding down at the Cluck and Grunt diner in Creekside. It’s quiet, the food is tasty, and your server is an angel named Rachel who smiles shyly while show more bringing extra gravy. You smile back thinking, what a sweetheart. Her eyes glow. Her whole body starts to glow. She glances at the front door and then runs outside. You drop your napkin and follow. Rachel has grown wings, wields a sword, and is now twelve feet tall. She smashes a pickup truck killing the gun-toting driver. In seconds, she changes back to normal and returns to the diner. A passerby says, “Protecting angel. Don’t worry; it happens all the time.” show less
