Here’s what first readers of Defending Angels have to say…
“Spooky Southern charm and a wonderfully inventive approach to the afterlife, with a celestial twist, makes Mary Stanton’s Defending Angels a real stand-out. Brava!”
—Madelyn Alt, National Bestselling Author of Hex Marks The Spot
“Mary Stanton’s Defending Angels gives heavenly choirs reason to sing! From its opening scene in a haunted graveyard to its final, satisfying conclusion amid a quartet of suspected killers, Angels successfully spices the madcap zaniness of Bridget Jones with the determined goodness of a young lawyer fighting to build her first practice. Toss in a ghost or two, a handful of angels, a nightmare of epic proportions, and a heroine clever and brave enough to face them all, and Savannah’s Spanish-moss-draped streets will never be the same!”
—Mindy Klasky, author of Magic and The Modern Girl, Sorcery and The Single Girl, and Girl’s Guide To Witchcraft
“A graveyard, spirits, and mysterious angels. Attorney Briana Winston-Beaufort should have never set up business in Savanna, Georgia, but thank God she did because Defending Angels is a wonderfully scary tale. Ghostly paintings and phone calls from the dead will keep you up all night as you turn the pages, but you keep telling yourself…it’s only a novel, it’s only a novel. Mary Stanton has truly captured the spirit…or spirits of Savanah!”
—Don Bruns, IMBA best-selling author of St. Bart’s Breakdown
“Intriguing and wholly different and original. I was hooked from page one. Defending Angels is at once charming, erudite and chilling. This book should give Mary Stanton the same kind of cult following usually reserved for Charlaine Harris!”
—Rhys Bowen, award-winning author of The Molly Murphy Mysteries and Her Royal Spyness
“Mary Stanton’s imaginative Defending Angels definitely has wings. An elegant enchantment with a delightful heroine and a historic setting!”
—Carolyn Hart, author of Ghost at Work
