Gods Playground Cheryl Skory Suma

Earth is a Playground, and humans are the Hosts. Living in a realm beyond earth, gods descend for three day Vacations, then take over the bodies and lives of their human Hosts through the act of Possession. They then enjoy all the pleasure and adventure that earth has to offer, but without the consequences. There are, however, rules that Visitors to god's Playground must obey. In the case of god #201, a repeat Visitation results in a struggle with these rules and his own existence. Returning to the Playground to attend the funeral of his last Host, god #201 becomes involved with an Earthbound, Evangeline. She knows too much about the reason her boyfriend was murdered and is on the mob's hit list. When #201 agrees to help her, this decision sends them both on a high-stakes adventure. Soon #201 has problems of his own, as he begins to break the rules of the Playground and draw the attention of both the Controller and the god Police. Original motivated by a godly wager he made back at his heavenly home, #201 attempts to manipulate and control Evangeline in order to win his bet. However, as they grow closer, his motives change, and his choices lead him down a path of self-discovery. On the run with Evangeline, #201 begins to learn more about god's Playground and his own past. He starts to question what he's always been told about gods like himself, heavenly existence, the Playground, and their human Hosts.
