Until Next Time
When I read the synopsis for Until Next Time, I was really intrigued by the premise of the story. I liked the idea behind the book. It looked like a fresh take on the angel story-line. Emily and Matt are soul mates who have been training in Heaven to be sent down to earth to take over the bodies of 2 people to try to help other people. The catch is that Emily and Matt have no memory of who they really are once they are back on earth. The characters were interesting and I did enjoy the story of the Liz and Daniel as they live in Ireland. In the end though the book was just OK for me. I found myself with more questions than answers and I was confused a few times. I wasn't totally sure why Emily and Matt kept going back to Heaven. Especially when the answers to the questions they asked weren't supposed to help them anyway. They weren't supposed to have any memory of being angels once they are on earth. Also, why take away their memories if they have spent their whole life training? The logic just didn't work for me.
In the beginning of the book, it seems that something has made Emily disillusioned. She is being forced to read back through her "lives" to try to find out why. Until Next Time is the first of those lives. I am going to assume that the next books will be more lives of Daniel and Emily. Perhaps they will hold more of a clue as to why Emily is disillusioned. So, in the end, not a bad start to the series. I'll give the next one a shot to see where Emily and Daniel end up next.
