An Angel Among Us by J.E. Spina is a heartfelt collection of short stories that spans a variety of genres, including romance, mystery, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and paranormal. Each story is crafted with care, offering readers a glimpse into the lives of unique characters and their emotional journeys. The book's title story, "An Angel Among Us," is a touching tribute to the author's late friend, Anne Gillis Benedetto, and sets the tone for the collection with its themes of love, loss, and hope. While the collection is a work of fiction, with the exception of Anne’s story, it's filled with sincerity and warmth. The stories are uplifting, offering moments of comfort and inspiration. Spina's ability to balance lighthearted tales with more serious themes showcases her versatility as a writer.
J.E. Spina’s stories are diverse, yet they share a common thread of exploring human emotions and experiences. From the poignant tale of Anne and Dick's enduring love to the suspenseful twists in "A Loss in Time," each narrative offers something different. Spina’s ability to weave heartfelt moments with elements of mystery and fantasy is commendable. Her dedication to her craft is evident in the attention to detail and the emotional depth of the characters. The stories are easy to follow, yet they leave a lasting impression. The inclusion of an author's note and personal anecdotes allows readers to connect with Spina on a deeper level. An Angel Among Us is a book that can be enjoyed in one sitting or savored story by story, making it a wonderful addition to any reader's library.
