Harry (that’s short for Harriet)  is a kindergarten teacher with a small addiction to Blue Fox novels, which her employee does not approve – when she gets a new 5 year old into her class she isn’t expecting  the kid to come with aggressive bodybuilders who try to take her down. She’s about to kick some serious ass when she’s drawn through a portal and loses a whole month, but that is not the weirdest thing yet, she wakes up in a spa in Japan, apparently having passed a job interview. Now most people would be frazzled, but she takes the events on Blue Fox style, not friggin out to be more exact.

She’s been hired, not as kindergarten teacher, but a Paladin to do the work of a “fallen” angel who very much so wants to get back on the good graces of god – since who does want to life the rest of their lives in the fires of Hell after all? Now Harry is dead and Maggie Black is born to punish the wicked and help the innocent – to be precise she has to find and kill a boy, Zack, to make sure world doesn’t suffer the evil consequences, it should not matter that the boy is innocent.

Battling the supernatural isn’t exactly easy and she meets Silas with a past worth telling and it doesn’t take long for her to develop feeling for the man.

The plots interesting, and funny, full of witty remarks and humor. The story is fun to read, and really does have the air of Kill Bill and Hell Boy, this is paranormal story that men will enjoy! Now  there were parts where the story slipped a little from me and I had to focus back on the feel of the book. Entertaining journey nonetheless.
