Angels walk among us, but so do other unearthly beings in this brand new series by #1 New York Times Bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton.

Meet Detective Zaniel Havelock, a man with the special ability to communicate directly with angels. A former trained Angel speaker, he devoted his life to serving both the celestial beings and his fellow humans with his gift, but a terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he’s a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there are angels, there are also demons. There’s no question that there’s evil at work when he’s called in to examine the murder scene of a college student—but is it just the evil that one human being can do to another, or is it something more? When demonic possession is a possibility, even angelic protection can only go so far. The race is on to stop a killer before he finds his next victim, as Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the past he never truly left behind.

The first in a new series from the author of the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series.

                                                         MY REVIEW:


A Terrible Fall of Angels (Zaniel Havelock, #1)A Terrible Fall of Angels by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Detective Zaniel Havelock is a man with the special ability to communicate directly with angels. A former trained Angel speaker. A terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he’s a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there are angels, there are also demons. There’s no question that there’s evil at work when he’s called in to examine the murder scene of a college student. Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the past he never truly left behind.
Zaniel's marriage is also on the rocks and he wants to mske it work. I could not stand his wife. She seems a little self centered to me and I have a feeling that we will find out more about her in the books to come and what makes her tick. Zaniel is one of those guys that you want to meet in real life and see if he is to true to be real.
This is the first book of a new series and I can't wait to get reading more of this series.
Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC to review.
