When souls are judged when a person dies, what will it take for one to repent? Colorado author C.R. Fabis weaves a fascinating journey of morality, vigilantism, and the factors that shape one's life in his second novel, The Angel and the Amazing Life of Maggie Love. 

Diving directly into the action, Inspector Lawrence's task is to review the soul of Maggie Love upon her death and ultimately make a case for her repentance. Maggie was a serial killer with over twenty victims and a multitude of false identities, never showing a speck of remorse. Hoping to find the good in her or even get her to repent, Lawrence makes her relive the murders, then kills her in increasingly painful ways when she refuses. He's never failed a soul, and he won't let Maggie be the first. The Inspector soon finds that he, the beings in the afterlife, and, most importantly, the reader will all be rooting for Maggie Love.

"But still, how do you justify 20 murders? If you read this journal, you can decide for yourself if her soul should be saved," Fabis says. Placing the reader in Lawrence's shoes, this book reveals every side of Maggie Love from her childhood to her death in a riveting and fast-paced story, while also revealing the change in Lawrence's mindset as he watches each murder take place. Ultimately, he comes to his conclusion, but leaves space for readers to decide as well: Is Maggie's soul worth saving?
