Repossessed by A. M. Jenkins
Kiriel is a fallen angel that is bored of his duties on torturing souls in Hell. He decides to borrow Shaun's body, a slacker teen that is about to die by stepping in front of a truck. Kiriel feels that Shaun won't mind since he is about to kick the bucket. Kiriel decides to experiment on some sins and find out why people keep committing them. In Shaun's body he experiences many things he has never experienced before: color, texture, pain, love, fear, a smile, taste, and lust. He has three major goals before someone notices he is gone from his hellish post and hauls him back to Hell: to keep Reed (the school bully) from the bowels of Hell, get Jason out of his cocoon, and have sex with Lane ( a girl that had a crush on Shaun). Kiriel gets visited through the internet by "Angel of the Lord” and is told to return to his duties. He also gets visited by Anius, middle management of fallen angels, to try to get him back to his post. In the end, Kiriel gets to make out with Lane, was unsuccessful in getting Reed to turn back on his evil ways, and got Jason to open up a bit. Kiriel gets a final visitor, Hanael, an unfallen angel. He tells Kiriel that he must go back by stepping in front of a truck and he will feel the full pain of the "accident." Shaun gets a second chance: he is to return back to his body, he will be in a coma for a while, and will learn how to appreciate life. This novel is funny and unpredictable. It will keep young adult readers hooked wanting to find out what Kiriel's next human experience is going to be. It gives a different perspective to those on the other side and what they are missing out on.
