Hey, I got the book free from the ACFW conference, why not read it? Free or full price, Wonders Never Cease was the best plotted and most fast paced novel I have read in a very long time. Kudos to Tim Downs for a superb page-turner!
Back cover copy :
Welcome to Los Angeles, the city of angels, where traffic never stops, people never sleep, and wonders never cease.
It’s a brilliant plan, if Kemp McAvoy says so himself–and Kemp never hesitates to point out his own brilliance. Kemp is a night nurse for a beautiful but aging movie star in a medically induced coma. And with the help of her agent and a struggling young publisher, he’s concocted a can’t-fail scheme that will make them all rich.
Olivia Hayden is about to receive a heavenly visitor–an angel with a message for all humankind. All it takes is a blinding light and little adjustment of her meds, and when she awakes she’ll think it was real–and they’ll have an instant best-selling book.
The scheme seems foolproof. All they have to do for it to work is be good angels and stay out of trouble. But Kemp McAvoy has never been good at staying out of trouble–and he doesn’t realize there may be out-of-this-world consequences for impersonating an angel.
Wonders Never Cease was a page turner from the start. Natalie, a harried mother, learns to stand up for herself during the course of this novel. Kemp, perhaps the main character, doesn’t grow in this novel, but he is a character that lives on the edge and keeps the action moving for the story and the reader. The large cast of characters might be difficult to keep track of, but Tim Downs took special care to ensure the reader knew each of the characters uniquely.
