    How much time does Jess have to live? That's what Jess should have been thinking, but instead she was wondering where she put her keys. Ashley, on the other hand, was possessed by something beyond anything she had ever experienced in her life. Derek was on a suicide mission until an angel appeared before his eyes, changing his life forever! Book 1 in the Bagel Chalet Series.
