Publisher Description
A "charming tale of little temptations" (Jacquelyn Benson), this feel-good comedy by fantasy author Olivia Atwater mixes angels, demons, romance, and chocolate into a perfectly petty and wickedly entertaining novel.
A little bit of sin is good for the soul.
Gadriel, the fallen angel of petty temptations, has a bit of a gambling debt. Fortunately, her angelic bookie is happy to let her pay off her debts by doing what she does best: All Gadriel has to do is tempt miserably sinless mortal Holly Harker to do a few nice things for herself.
What should be a cakewalk of a job soon runs into several roadblocks, however, as Miss Harker politely refuses every attempt at temptation from Gadriel the woman, Gadriel the man, and Gadriel the adorable fluffy kitten. When even chocolate fails to move Gadriel's target, the ex-guardian angel begins to suspect she's been conned. But Gadriel still remembers her previous job… and where petty temptations fail, small miracles might yet prevail.
Olivia Atwater explores love, grief, and the very last bit of chocolate in this sweet modern fantasy, full of wit and heart. Pick up Small Miracles, and enjoy a heavenly faerie tale from the author of Half a Soul.

Bizarre structure that isn’t for me
I started this after speeding through the author’s four historical fairy tales, and the difference was incredibly jarring to me. There are endnotes at the end of each chapter that explain a ton of the things the characters reference, but they just have asterisks instead of numbers like real endnotes, so you are left trying to figure out which endnote goes to what you were just reading every time you go to the back of the chapter. This is on top of endnotes being a very poor way to try to explain a fictional world in my own opinion. Partway through the first chapter, I was so frustrated that I looked ahead and when I saw the endnotes continued in future chapters, I put the book down in disappointment.
