----
!!This series provides examples of:

* CelestialBureaucracy: Heaven. In the first book alone, there is an archangel supervising Bobby Dollar, a rotating group of judges for immortal souls, higher angels who supervise Bobby's boss and pass judgment on Bobby Dollar's performance. There is also a Hall of Records, and it is implied that there are many, many levels of bureaucracy between the Highest (God) and Bobby.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: And split into many, many different types. Bobby and his co-workers are low-level angels borrowing human bodies. They drink, smoke, and swear regularly. Once you get above Bobby's supervisors, the angels ... vary. Some are male, some are female, some are neither (or both), and it is implied that not all of them are benevolent.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Temuel, Bobby's boss, speaks on his behalf [[spoiler: when high-ranking angels investigate Bobby after souls disappear]].
