Book Reviews of Death Angel: A Novel
Book Review: Love the book, hate the cover, glad I read it in kindle
Summary: 5 Stars
I came to this page specifically to write a review and in doing so I must say I am so glad I didn't see the cover art before I bought the book. This was a beautifully written book with very strong characterization. Neither the hero nor the heroine were heroic in the traditional romance novel sense, but they were compelling. I appreciated Drea/Andie's journey, loved that Howard made the heroine so self aware in the second half of the book, so clear in her personal integrity, and yet so human that it was easy to identify with her. The hero was so anti-heroic in the beginning, but so compelling also, and Drea's attachment to him made it possible for me to look passed what he did and see who he was.
This is a rare book in that it's a complete emotional journey, but it's one I wanted to continue with the characters.
It's vintage Linda Howard in that it's superbly written, but completely fresh in its innovative characterization.
Summary of Death Angel: A Novel
In Linda Howard?s gifted hands, second chances, unexpected romance, and unrelenting action combine into a riveting new novel of suspense. In Death Angel, bad girls can wake up and trust their hearts, bad guys can fight for what?s right . . . and dying just might be the only way to change one?s life.A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea Rousseau is more than content to be arm candy for Rafael Salinas, a notorious crime lord who deals with betrayal through quick and treacherous means: a bullet to the back of the head, a blade across the neck, an incendiary device beneath a car. Eager to break with Rafael, Drea makes a fateful decision and a desperate move, stealing a mountain of cash from the malicious killer. After all, an escape needs to be financed.
Though Drea runs, Salinas knows she can?t hide?and he dispatches a cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of events. Or does it?
Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living a changed woman. She?s no longer shallow and selfish, no longer steals or cheats or sells herself short. Both humbled and thrilled with this unexpected second chance, Drea embraces her new life. But in order to feel safe and sound?and stop nervously looking over her shoulder?she will need to take down those who marked her for death.
Joining forces with the FBI, supplying vital inside information that only she can provide, Drea finds herself working with the most dangerous man she?s ever known. Yet the closer they get to danger, the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life itself?as well as her heart.
