Publisher Description
Once he was known as the Angel Remiel, but generations ago Boston PI Remy Chandler chose to renounce heaven and live on earth, where he found a secure place among us ordinary humans.…
But now, having lost the love of his life, Remy finds himself turning more and more away from his human friends and his everyday existence. He’s begun to seek out dangerous jobs—those that involve the supernatural, those that bring him into contact with his past.
Like his latest case: the theft of a cache of ancient weaponry stolen from a collector who deals in antiquities of a dark and dubious nature. The weapons, Remy knows, were forged aeons ago and imbued with unimaginable power. If they fall into the wrong hands, they could be used to destroy not only Heaven but also Earth.
And to prevent that, Remy Chandler must decide whether he is willing to lose the last of his own humanity.…

"Remy Chandler, Boston PI and former angel Remiel, is asked by a very rich man to get back his ancient weapons that were stolen. In this book Remy's grief for his wife Madeline is palpable. He pulls away from everyone, except for his dog Marlowe. He solves his case and makes a small move toward rejoining the world. It's a wonderful little book."

Dancing on the Head of a Pin Listener Reviews
-
" I really liked this book. I am hoping that Sniegoski can write more in this series faster, lol. The next one in the series is Where Angels Fear to Tread, published March 3, 2010. "
— Penny, 1/29/2014 -
" Sequel, good but not as good. Kind of a jerky read, and basically a non-ending ending. "
— Kendra, 12/29/2013 -
" Second book in the series (as you'd no doubt know from reading what the book is about) it also works well as a stand-alone. Remy is enjoyable if a bit angsty - deservedly so, but it gets a bit old after awhile. Nothing truly memorable stands out, but it's still an enjoyable, if a bit predictable, of a murder mystery. The ending gets a bit repetitive with phrases/ideas, but The Twist at the end is worth it. A good read when you don't want something complicated, if you're already used to thinking of God/Christianity as something other than what the Church would have you think/believe. If you're a devout Christian who doesn't like their image of God challenged, I'd suggest you not read it unless you can separate "it's just a story" from your religion. "

" The second Remy Chander book, I enjoyed it a bit more than "A Kiss Before the Apocalypse" but it didn't really end, it seems to be the first part of longer story arc. If you're going to do this follow Jim Butcher, have a book specific story arc that is completed by the end of the book and also contribute to the overall plot. "

" more of the same - easy reading fun bible/angel/demon stuff "
— Debbie, 10/22/2013 -
" Excellent progression in a series, I love the interaction between Remiel and the Fallen and the Denizens. The entire premise is new and well done, very enjoyable "
— Marisella, 8/2/2013 -
" It wasn't quite as good as the first one. Too many battles and an overall sad and desperate mood. Fortunately I liked the ending very much, so I will read the next book in the series. "
— Fangirl, 7/20/2013 -
" I loved the first book, but I liked this one even more. I can't wait for the next one, out shortly. "

" A wonderful guilty pleasure, on to the next! "
— David, 9/22/2012 -
" All through the first disc, I kept thinking "this isn't my type of book", but I couldn't stop listening. I ended up really enjoying this - it had some interesting concepts and I loved the hopeful ending. I don't know if I'll listen to others in this series...what if something happens to Marlowe? "
— Michele, 5/14/2012 -
" Definitely prefer the Remy Chandler novels to the first of the Fallen, although this one is much more setting up for a sequel than the first one. The author does still love his battles...but then, he was one of the writers for Buffy and Angel. "
— Trish, 12/24/2011 -
" Read from 4/22 to 4/24. "
— Kristin, 11/28/2011 -
" So, I wanted to hurry up and finish this book, not because it was really good, but just because I wanted it to be over! Its not that it was bad, but I just wasn't all that interested in how it ended. "
— Jeffrey, 6/21/2011 -
" The first book was better, as too much was left unresolved at the end of this sequel. It is still an interesting series so far. I'll have a better feel for it after the next one. "
— Rob, 3/10/2011 -

" Good progression, I really like the interaction between Remiel and the Fallen, and the Denizens. Very much reminds me of the Dresden Files, unbelievable events and situations seems to be quite plausible "
