Hey everyone, as promised I am back with a review of Good Omens. I absolutely loved this book! I was excited to read it before I got it online, and when I finished I went out right away to buy the hard copy simply to read it again.

Freddie died a long time ago, and the twins are running out of money. So Violet puts the guest cabin up for rent, and River West, a mysterious boy from out of town rents the guest room.
