Product Description

A new supernatural challenge on the streets of Los Angeles for Angel - the vampire with a soul. Even the streetwise populace of Los Angeles is stunned when a priest is attacked by a woman who confesses to the murder of her own son. At the same time, Angel Investigations turns up reports of a madwoman who appears at gang fights, playgrounds and flophouses frequented by teenage runaways...She seems to be everywhere. She is a 'bruja' - a witch - and the living embodiment of La Llorona - the 'weeping woman' who plays such a central role in Spanish lore. Wherever she is, a trail of death follows her. The priest lapses into a coma. Doyle is wracked by visions of a young mother and her son in danger, down by the dockside. Cordelia finds herself on the trail of a film producer's missing wife. It is up to Angel to find the connection between them before he is stopped by the phantom whose touch brings death...and all of them are running out of time.

Customer Reviews

A brilliant book which keeps you guessing
I thought this book would be your average Angel book but I was wrong, it keeps you guessing throughout. It is actually quite different to other Angel books, a priest is killed by a woman who later admits to killing her own son! Angel Investigations eventually discover the truth but not before they have delt with witches. (the Bruja). Even though this is a horror book there is the usual humour from Cordelia. I would recommend this to any Angel fan!

Not one of the best
A good beginning which hadn't been used before, but as soon as the details began to come out, the plot was too simple. I didn't take any amount of guess work to piece the separtate plots together. It was just for too predictable at the end. A good book if all you want to do is enjoy Angel and the gang in the demon infested streets of LA.
