"Crashing Down to Earth (Part One)" by Terry Reid is a hugely entertaining paranormal story about the relationship between Hayley and her Guardian Angel Alex.Although Alex has a lot of 'regular' angel attributes and behaviour he often appears all too human, which makes him a really great and often unpredictable character. He fights demons and protects Hayley but not all of his actions are approved by the 'Elders', who summon him for help in a much bigger plot.Having insight into both Hayley's and Alex's perspective through the omniscient point of view enables the reader to understand more clearly where the two of them are coming from and for me this added to the charm of the novel.The book is written with fresh and realistic dialogue, the plot moves fast and sets us up for the next part in the series. There are plenty of surprises and unexpected events as we follow the many likeable characters through the smaller problems and bigger adventure.In a market almost saturated with paranormal and supernatural books to me this is a refreshing and welcome addition to the genre.
