A Terrible Fall of Angels (Zaniel Havelock #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton

 


 

Blurb:

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.

 

My review:

A Terrible Fall of Angels is the first in a new paranormal police procedural from Laurell K. Hamilton. I had no expectations when I picked this up but I thoroughly enjoyed this story. This is a cerebral thriller that takes place in a vividly different world than ours. Zaniel Havelock is a detective with a past and a skill set unlike any others. Trained as an Angel speaker from a young age he left that world behind and joined the military then the police force handling mystical crimes. In this story his past comes to mess with his future. Zaniel is a complex character but totally relatable. This story left me wanting more.
