(4) YA Jenna's guardian-angel brother Casey has lost the use of his wings and needs to know why he's still on earth. The siblings turn to rowdy angel Bo Shivers for answers, but he has another agenda. The journal format creates some pacing issues (e.g., Jenna rehashes events from the previous installment, The Sweet Dead Life, too often), but the characters are mildly engaging.
