Rating: Summary: Best Book of the Angel Series So Far Review: This book was by far the best of the Angel books yet. It hits close to home when Angel meets Whitney Tyler, an actress who portrays a vampire on TV, and recognizes her very clearly. He reminds her of a woman he killed aboard a boat over 200 years ago, only to have Darla kill her a few days later. Horrible murders start to happen and it appears that whoever's doing this is trying to get to Whitney. Before that, a few assasination attempts happened with Whitney barely escaping. This is a great book and I recommend this to anyone who loves Angel.
Rating: Summary: The Best Angel Book yet Review: This has to be the best in the seires. I loved it. It was well written with flashbacks that made since and pulled the story togather.
Rating: Summary: Angel rocks Review: This is the first Angel book I've ever read (I'm a big fan of the Buffy ones) and I'm definitely going to read more after reading this. It's great! Everybody has already gone over the plot so I'll just say this book is interesting, unpredictable and will leave you wanting more.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS I HAVE READ! Review: To me, this book repersents that the character ANGEL is trying to get redemption. In this book to me is most dramtic is where angel finds out that whitney has the personality of a vampire hunter from the days where angel was angelus and not angel. This book has a great ending to it. I have continued to read the rest of the series and now I have finished the eighteenth book and looking forward to the book named FEARlESS.

Rating: Summary: Acting the Part Review: Whitney Tyler has a bit of a problem. She has gotten so good at playing the vampire in Dark Midnight (her TV show) that they has more people trying to stake her then there are chasing Angel. As the problem escalates from a few crackpots to a serious team of assassins intent on major damage, Whitney's producer panics and interrupts Angel's usual vampire slaying to ask him to help keep Whitney's heart in one piece.Intertwined with Whitney's story is Angel's memory of Moira O'Braonain, who he first encountered in his Angelus the Vampire Pirate days (bet you didn't know that Angel used to swashbuckle a bit). While taking over a ship, Angelus and Darla run into Moira, a deadly fighter who Angel kills. And then has to kill several times over. Whitney and Moira are nearly identical, but it will take time for Angel to work out the connection, and people around Whitney keep dying unpleasantly. Mel Odom does a great job on his first Angel novel, capturing not only Angel's character perfectly, but the interactions between Cordelia and Doyle as well. The make an interesting counter to what is building between Whitney and Angel. Despite being pure fantasy, Odom's style adds the touch of believability that is necessary if a reader is to stay interested. This story comes from the short period of time when every Angel story seems to depend on undoing the vampire's actions during the Angelus period, where amends and redemption had a very specific meaning. Unfortunately, the constant flashbacks wear thin after a while. Redemption spends as much time in the past as it does in the present and, despite Odom's writing stills, I'm beginning to twitch every time I see Angelus in a frilly shirt.
