Why read it?

1 author picked Something More Than Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I could not put this book down and I cannot stop recommending it. The succulent, noir flavor of the book blends surprisingly well with its heavenly narrator, but be forewarned, not all angels are winged humanoids and not all angelic narrators are reliable.

From Jen's list on unique narration.
