Patience is a Virtue
So this is another novel in the long arc of WHH novels.
Meaning supernatural stuffs and comedy and religion and aliens combined into one not so neat plotline.
Definitions Because I Really Like to Use Them to Show Stuff:

Characters - One Line Descriptions
Fortitude - eldest sister of the virtues who is not in the mood to do anything and took over the job for Fear when he left under ~mysterious~ circumstances.
Prudence - could show a bit of skin tbh, she's much too fond of sweaters, to the point where she made them into pants.
Justice - went out to Walmart with Anger once and when someone backed into their truck, felt the need to make things right.
Temperance - always restrains herself, well most of the time.
Faith - is always at church even though she likes to criticize these Bible thumpers.
Charity - they work at the church store every day and love it, but wish Carol would just get some new curtains already.
Hope - he likes to wear a lot of gold and red, hopes that he doesn't have to deal with too many sinners, at least not the wrong kind.
Lust - might have slept with one too many people, he can't tell. Twin brother of pride.
Gluttony - likes cake and can you really blame them?
Greed - currently working a mortal job at the IRS because working as a banker was just too cliche.
Sloth - moves a bit slow with their thoughts sometimes but eventually gets to a really good story.
Wrath - is busy off fighting criminals through time and space, and really doesn't have the patience for more family drama.
Envy - wants every part of the American dream and he will get it god dammit, including the husband and the dog.
Pride - is Fortitude's #1 favorite sin and knows and boasts it.
Plot:
It's basically like a suburban sitcom/dramedy sort of thing. In the beginning, there's the backstory of how they're the oldest things to exist in the universe and have worked for every religion. And then the Christian god pissed them off by thinking he was the only god, so now they're basically in witness protection and trying to live the American dream.
Well, at least some of them are...
