The Search Angel is an adult fiction story about perseverence and independence. The novel follows the life of Eleanor Sweet as she approaches the end of the adoption process to bring home baby girl Sylvie. As the process comes to completion, Eleanor is suddenly faced with a mountain of obstacles and the realization of loneliness. Eleanor hires a “search angel” to help her delve into her past to discover more about her own biological mother.

The story is not one that I would normally pick off a shelf, and is more in fact something that I would find my sister reading; however, something about the cover and the synopsis left me feeling intrigued. As you can tell by what I’ve reviewed, I find a genre that I enjoy and I just read those books; I don’t branch out. But with this book - and the last one - I decided that it was time for me to try to branch out a bit.
The main character Eleanor Sweet is a strong, independent female character and, as mentioned before, that’s something I love to see in books; however, this novel applies a certain twist on that role when a new tenant moves in next door: Noel. His character is written to perfection and I actually feel sad that he doesn’t have more of a dominant role.

Overall I would rate
The Search Angel 4.8/5 because it was so close to perfect! There were a few moments I found myself skimming, but they were only short moments.
Until next time,
Happy Reading Fellow Bookworms :)
