The Angel (Hardcover)
I've finished "The Angel" the 2nd book in her BPD-FBI series / Boston, Maine, Ireland series by Carla Neggers.
Product Description
Her passion for myth and magic leads a woman into the heart of a murderous evil
On a remote stretch of the rugged coast of Ireland, folklorist and illustrator Keira Sullivan pursues the mysterious Irish legend of an ancient Celtic stone angel. As she searches an isolated ruin, she's certain she's discovered the mythic angel, but before she can examine her find, she senses a malevolent presence...Is someone in there with her? Then the ruin collapses, trapping her.
Keira's uncle, a Boston homicide detective, enlists the help of Simon Cahill to find his missing niece. Simon, an expert with Fast Rescue, a rapid response search-and-rescue organization, is trying to keep a low profile after secretly assisting the take-down of a major criminal network, but he rushes to Ireland, pulling Keira out of the rubble just as she's about to free herself.
Simon isn't interested in myths or magic, nor is he surprised when Keira can't find a trace of her stone angel. He doesn't believe it exists. But the gruesome evidence of a startling act of violence convinces him that whatever she found in the ruin, the danger she faces is real.
When the violence follows them to Boston [and escalates], Simon and Keira realize that the long-forgotten story that has captivated her has also aroused a killer...a calculating predator who will certainly kill again.
Suspenseful and evocative, THE ANGEL is a riveting novel of dangerous myths, haunting secrets and the shattering truth concealed within them. It is Carla Neggers at her best.
My Review:
Storyline: There were two storylines and the first one was who was killing certain people and why? The second one was who was after Keira and why?
Characters: The characters were well written and you get to know them and care for them. You also find what motivates them to do what they do and why! Keira is a take charge and don't mess around with me kind of women, who isn't afraid to dance to her own drum. Simon is a a big brute of a man but caring and protective who doesn't want to see Keira get hurt and I'm glad that he took the time to ease Keira into a relationship.
Romance: I loved the romance between Keira and Simon right from the get go because they are both attracted to each other and it's fun to see a big brute of a man falling for a women who dances to her own drum!
Killer(s): The main killers were both mentally unstable and they were quite vicious and cruel in their killings. Interesting to see what happens in ritual killings!
4/5
