Parts of this book brought me to my knees. I am not typically a reader of "westerns" per se, but like all great books, this book is so much more. Certain passages will haunt me for a long time.
I entered this book with somewhat low expectations since I had never heard of the author and did not know anyone else who had read it, but after reading Angelology, my expectations will be extremely high for her next novel. I found myself totally immersed in this gripping page turner, intrigued by the characters and with the strange and frightening world created by the author. From creepy caves in Central Europe to frightening angel/human progeny, this book exemplified imagination at its best for 2010. Best of all, without spoiling it for those who haven't found their way to this chilling book, the ending was the most climactic and shocking finale to a book since Life of Pi. The sequel cannot come out fast enough for me!
