Brush of Wings

It was pretty good but I wish there was a better ending, I want to know what happened in the future!

I read this book in one day. I couldn't put it down after reading the first two in the series. It's always a great reminder that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood and that God hears our prayers, regardless of the situation.

Brush of Wings is the third and final book in the Angels Walking series. We'll finally find the answers to the questions we were left with regarding Mary Catherine and Marcus at the end of Chasing Sunsets. Brush of Wings opens with a meeting of angels in heaven. As with the previous two books in the series, these images have stayed with me. I love the image of angels meeting to discuss how best to help us on earth. This series has been a reminder to me to look for the angels in my life. Mary Catherine is planning a move to Uganda to work at a new orphanage. Despite the fact that she needs a heart transplant. She goes without telling her parents or her best friend. She tells absolutely no one about her condition. This bugged me. An excellent example of pride, I suppose but I would've felt better if she'd told just one person. Mary Catherine is also fighting her feelings for Marcus, the man she never meant to fall in love with. While reading Chasing Sunsets and this book I didn't feel a connection or chemistry between Mary Catherine and Marcus. Their relationship felt rushed and underdeveloped. However, from the beginning I loved Tyler and Sami. I felt a connection with this couple and their relationship felt real. Even though this book didn't grab me as emotionally as the previous two I still enjoyed it. There is a satisfactory ending to each story and this reader appreciates having everything wrapped up. As a fan of Kingsbury's Baxter series I was pleasantly surprised to see a brief appearance by two members of the family. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Brush of Wings By Karen Kingsbury Dreams Are Possible Awe, the story of Mary Catherine and Marcus....a story that continues and finalizes the Angels Walking series. One that will capture your heart and bring courage to your soul. The courage to dream, the courage to believe in those dreams, the courage to fight for those dreams. Your dreams. You see, Mary Catherine has a dream, a dream to live life to its fullest, always seeking adventure, having children, being the most precious wife she can be and many more. But her dreams all vanish when her life is turned upside down. All from news she receives from her doctor. In one poof, her dreams are gone. Bless her heart, Mary Catherine struggles just like we all do in situations we are faced with daily. And just like with us, God sends Mary Catherine Angels. Angels you have come to admire and adore throughout the series. Angels whom will pray for you, pray with you. Everything isn't black and white and there will be hurdles to cross but with God and His army of Angels, He wants Mary Catherine and us too, to always dream and never loose sight of those dreams. Journey with me, on earth and near the Heavens as we walk alongside Mary Catherine and learn her story. Let's see together if Mary Catherine's dreams do come true. We will join her friends, Marcus, Sami and Tyler and support her. But will she allow us that support or will she run? Karen has so eloquently been graced by the words of God to bring us this powerful story. A story that will remain in your heart always and forever. Thank you Karen for Angels Walking Series! Brush of Wings has been the perfect ending to this set! Happy reading my friends!

Brush of Wings by Karen Kingsbury is the third book in Angels Walking series. Orlon is sending Ember, Beck, Jag, and Aspyn (an Angel Walking team) on an important mission. They need to make sure that a little baby gets born and to keep four individuals alive and together. Mary Catherine Clark is leaving for Uganda to help out at a new orphanage. She has always wanted to do this. However, Mary Catherine has a heart condition that is now life threatening. Mary Catherine needs a new heart, but she is not letting that stop her nor is she telling anyone about it. Marcus Dillinger is a baseball player with the LA Dodgers who cares for Mary Catherine, but she keeps pushing him away. She feels that he should get a chance at love with someone who might not die. Sami Dawson is Marth Catherine’s best friend and roommate. Sami works at the Youth Center where Mary Catherine also volunteered (until she decided to go to Uganda). Sami keeps getting Mary Catherine to confide in her, but Mary Catherine is keeping mum. Sami is in love with Tyler Ames, a coach with the LA Dodgers (and a friend of Marcus). Can the angels work to keep these four people alive and the demons at bay? It is imperative that their mission be successful. Brush of Wings is basically a long (sappy) romance novel with angels, scripture, and prayer thrown in. The novel contains quite a bit of scripture and prayer (basically every page someone is praying or asking people to pray). I found the book hard to get into (I actually never did get into the book) which takes away my enjoyment of the book. Mary Catherine is the main focus of the book, and I found her to be a martyr. I did not like her and found her extremely annoying. This is the third book in the series, but I believe the novel can be enjoyed without having read the first two books in the series (I actually did not know it was part of a series until I started reading the book). I give Brush of Wings 3 out of 5 stars. Readers who love Christian romance novels will probably enjoy Brush of Wings. I received a complimentary copy of Brush of Wings from NetGalley in exchange for an honest evaluation of the novel.
