Angel by Nicholas Guild

Angel was another of my thrift store finds I believe. I love going there and finding books I would have otherwise missed out on. Sometimes the books are so old and dated, but most of the time I am able to overlook it. Angel was a good find and I really enjoyed it. I give it a B+.

Back cover:
The dead man no face. It had been removed with a surgeon's skill and a woman's rage. The cop standing in a remote Ohio lovers' motel knew who had committed the bizarre crime. He just didn't know her name...
James Kinkaid IV knew her name. The Connecticut lawyer had once held Angel in his arms, and then lost her to a realm of secrecy, big money and tragedy. Now she is the common denominator in a string of savage murders across the country...
For Kinkaid, the time has come to find his lost angel, to unravel the bizarre mystery of her disappearance, her rumored death and her rebirth. Burdened with his own family secrets, Kinkaid doesn't have the luxury of time: the angel he's looking for is unforgiving, still beautiful, possibly insane. And she's coming after him- for one last, lingering kiss...

This was a great suspense book and had all of the charcterstics that I look for in a suspense novel. While you soon learn who the killer is, she is always one step ahead of everyone and you never know what is going to happen next. The reader also gets a great look at why Angel is the way she is and how she turned out that way. The ending was also wonderful... leaving a little bit to the reader's imagination but pretty much answers all of the questions. I think I will be checking out more of Mr. Guild's books.

This week has been hard. I thought 4 day work weeks were supposed to be easier but this one wasn't. Work kept me very busy and tired, and I am fighting something. I am not sure if it is the same sinus infection I have had, if I am getting a new one, or allegeries but I am so tired and sniffly. Plus all this week I was working with special need toddlers, who definitely keep you on your toes. Add in the Wings and the Pistons games and training for my stupid summer job (including more training tomorrow and Sunday) and you get one tired and lazy Kristie. I think I will take one day off this week because I do need to go grocery shopping and clean and all of that fun stuff. Plus my summer job starts the day after the last day of school, so I won't even have a day off. Plus I am really not looking forward to this job. Oh well... suck it up I guess. I am not sure what I am going to read next but whatever jumps out at me. Probably another suspense book because I really need something that will hold my attention.

I also wanted to say thanks to J. Kaye for the new Amanda Stevens book she sent me. I won it at her website and really appreciate all of the excellent books she gives away. She also has a great blog, so everyone needs to check it out. Everyone have a great weekend, Happy Reading and GOOOOOOO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
