"Angel City" Jon Steele










     This is the third installment of the "Angelus Trilogy" with Katherine and Jay Harper. Both of their memories have been wiped so they try to clear their minds but are constantly re-wiped due to a variety of methods. Jay Harper is a gruff man that prefers to take care of business quickly despite it's messiness at times. Harper is assigned to the task of helping Astruc a wayward priest and his side kick Goose. Unbeknownst to Harper is that he is only a tool in Astruc's bigger plans to reveal that the prophecy is closer to being fulfilled than expected.

     Katherine deranged from medication to keep her under control and wakes up pregnant in a house surrounded by trees with an few swiss officers checking on her regularly. Without her memories she is disturbed by what is occurring. With the news that she was raped by the bad guys makes her not want to have the child. Anne is the officer watching over Kathrine constantly that causes personal feelings to get close to Anne's duty as a guard.

     While Harper puts the pieces together of Astruc's plans and his memories begin to overwhelm him he tries to right his wrongs and overtake Astruc before he prevails. Katherine is unsure of why they are in such protected custody placed in a small town with only a few people and the diner lady delivering to their house since neither Anne or Katherine cook.

      What Katherine does discover is that someone is after Max, her son, but all the training and guards don't stop the bad guys from breaking into the area and lighting everything up in flames until they get Max. The last part leaves us hanging with Katherine trapped in a safe and the vault door cringing apart slowly holding onto Max tightly.

       Overall, it had a good plot and was always action packed. If there wasn't something going on it was building quickly with explanations along the way. The characters were well developed and changed overtime which I liked. However, the language is heavy with swear words if thats not your thing. I hope you check it out if you like action, mystery, and love all wrapped in one.
