God Smacked Back Angela Perea

The job of a soul collector is fairly straightforward: travel to Earth, administer a heart attack to release the soul, and take it to its final destination. Oh, and don't fraternize.

Right.

Falling in love with a human was only the first of Ha's mistakes. There was letting himself be blackmailed by the demon Avarice. There was taking a soul to a bar in Purgatory. There was losing that same soul. There was ... Well, the list kept getting longer.

Ha's time was running out to re-collect the soul of boxer Darius "The Gorgeous" George and have him fight the fight of a deathtime. And he needed to do it before the Boss found out about the boxer, the girl, the fraternization, and worst of all, the desire to be human.

God Smacked Back, the debut novel from Angela Perea, is a devilishly humorous mix of Dante and Christopher Moore. And some Chuck Palahniuk thrown in for good measure.
