Review: Angel Who Fell by J.C. Andrijeski 5 of 5 stars

Angel Who Fell by J.C. Andrijeski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the previous book of the series, Dags Jourdain learned a great deal of the truth of who and what he is - and it pretty much has broken him while he works through what it means. He can now see himself, his life and even his relationships as being damned and the thought of doing or inflicting that on others is making his stomach churn. And so he has run away to think about it and protect everyone who he loves or could destroy. He just cannot be what his dark brother Uri wants him to be and cannot accept that he has to be that way as it is fate - Dags just cannot find any joy in being the evilest thing in existence. Then school friend Kara Mossman calls needing his help and he just can't turn her down and so finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation where the prime suspect is a ten-year-old kid. The deaths seem to be savage, motiveless and have the marks of being something supernatural. So Dags rejoins the normal world and faces the truth that he had been avoiding including the fallout from everyone he left behind - especially from his movie start girlfriend Phoenix X who really hasn't dealt with his vanishing act well at all. Can he save the boy, solve the murder case, handle brother Uri, work on who/what he is AND makeup with Phoenix?

Wow - this was definitely an action-packed story that involved a lot of information about Dags and his identity woven around the story of the boy who committed the murders and the supernatural beings who were the instigators of those murders. I loved the way that Dags was able to find out more about who and what he is as well as his reaction to that knowledge. Phoenix's reaction to his return was quite amusing and it definitely made me laugh at his punishment - he really does need some kind of relationship guidance in the next book because he really does push his luck! What happened at the end was just great - my husband thinks I'm mad after the whoop I gave when I read that section lol I'm intrigued as to where he is going to go now, what he will do with this new knowledge and if there will be any comeback after his actions. I also really hope that he follows through on all his promises to Phoenix. Well written, easy to read and understand. Completely addictive.
