Death Angel doesnt quite fall into the genre of romantic suspense. At times it felt preachy and after the mid-point of the book little happens, but the first half is very good. It hooks the attention right off the bat and has you rooting for Drea even though she is shallow and self-absorbed. It is anticlimactic and the attempt at suspense falls flat because the bad guy is a two-dimensional character and we never really see how bad he can be, so theres no real fear for Dreas safety. Likewise, Simon is not as fleshed out as Howards previous enigmatic anti-heroes like John Medina. I, for one, would have liked to have learned more about him and kept hoping the book would take us into his head more.
All in all, it was a quick, entertaining read, but I know Linda Howard can do better.
