Book depicts a love story between an angel and a human

I want readers to see that it is essential to consider thinking deeply about the outdated rules and norms of society and embracing the open-mindedness that is sorely lacking in today’s world.

—AL Slade

STRATFORD, ONTARIO, CANADA, Feb. 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — For AL Slade, writing allows him to create a world that is something incredible and what makes it unique is knowing that she can be part of it. She believes her imagination creates an escape beyond her ordinary existence. Her story examines the relationship between angels, God, and humans in such an unparalleled way, using her imagination and research efforts to come up with “The Bloodshed Of The Betrayed” (self-published via AmazonKDP).

The book tells the story of Angel Laramie, who receives emotions as a trial to decide once and for all if angels are ready to feel again. However, she is quickly distracted by an infatuation with a human named Maggie, causing her to disregard his orders and let her mission fail. She returns to her superiors hoping to help the human only to learn that her feelings were a test. Her failure means her banishment to Earth until she disappears forever.

An excerpt from the book:
“I can’t even begin to understand the feeling that permeates my chest when I see her. As soon as I catch her in my periphery, I can’t bring myself to look away – when I look at her, I’m struck by the sight of his soul.
Even if it’s only for a second, I become transfixed; its color is indescribable, not yet seen or named by humans. His presence encapsulates a warm embrace promising comfort and security, the uncontrolled burst of laughter in a moment of spontaneous jubilation, and the purest intimacy one can experience with their most trusted partner, and ties them to a word that I have never known before; residence.”

Available from Amazon UK and Barnes & Noble as an ebook (and NOOK), paperback and hardback.
