I have read "Angel's Share" by James Markert and enjoyed the novel. So, I was very excited to read this new novel, which seems to have a similar premise. However, this novel was a bit weird and a convoluted plot. I had a hard time following the story when a lot of unnecessary details, characters and slow parts. I had high hopes for this novel and was very disappointed.

Book Review - The Angels' Share by James Markert

When a drifter is  buried behind the McFee's distillery, things started happening. The followers believed it was the second coming of Christ while William McFee wasn't quite so sure. Residents of Twisted Tree used to rely on Old Sam Bourbon distillery before the Prohibition for their livelihood. After the Prohibition has ended, the distillery still isn't up and running. After the burial of the drifter, miracles happen to those who interact with the second day Christ. Would the distillery be up and running again? Who is the drifter?

The novel was an interesting read and very hard to put  down. It was filled with revenge, redemption, miracles, forgiveness, romance,  and empathy. I was held in suspense with every page had a "piece" that fit together to create a whole story in the end. A truly entertaining and wonderful book!
