This is book seven of the Sandman Slim novels and sadly it
is the first one I have read. I am
amazed how many good series escape my notice.
This is the story of a half angel who goes to hell and back to better
the world.
Jim Stark, never Jimmy, is Sandman Slim and there was
minimal back story to give a hint as to how he is a half angel or how he was
Lucifer and many more references to his past with out a clue as to their
origins.
Candy is a Jade, whatever that is and is Stark's love.
This is a strange mix of hoodoo magic, hellion stuff and
guns and ammo. The good guys are not so
good and the bad guys are worse.
I enjoyed the book but would have enjoyed it more with a
detailed back story. I guess I need to
dig the previous six books out and find out how Stark became who and what he
is.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
