Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT!

This book is definitely worth reading. I couldn't put it down. Very suspenseful with a great cast of characters. I love all type of thrillers and this was one of the best that I've read recently. If you like the serial killer, on the edge of your seat, stay up all night reading type books, this one is for you.

A Page Turner

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I really enjoyed it. This is one of the few books that have given me NIGHTMARES! I love it. I couldn't sleep for nights. If you want to read a page turner this is the book for you. Donna Ball has never written such an excellent book. Stephen King doesn't even have a book this scary out. I just have one thing to say about this book I LOVE IT!

Good characters, good plot, pour research

I read this book very quickly because it was hard to put down, the characters and plot were wonderful. I understand the necessity of fictional places, but please Charleston is where birth records in WV are kept. Charlottesville is in Virginia. Do your research.

A great dark suspense novel

The nifty premise of Dark Angel kept me guessing right to the last page. The book is an escalating nail-biter with a highly effective villain and a clever plot. Donna Ball is a writer who deserves far more fame.

romantic suspense at its' finest

In the Tidewater section of Virginia, school teacher Ellen Cox was driving to work when the bridge she was on collapsed. Her life is saved by the fast action of Dr. Ben Bradshaw, who was driving nearby. Their story makes the paper. However, as she recovers from her ordeal, a reporter informs Ellen that her background information is bogus. There is no record of her birth and most of the locations she described do not exist. Meanwhile, "the Church Pew Killer" is on a rampage, murdering eleven women. To Ellen's horror, the victims are identical to those occupying the nightmares that she now suffers. The FBI is on the case, trying to find a link between an old tragedy, Ellen, and the killer. Unbeknownst to Ellen, Ben or Agent Graham, the serial killer has tabbed Ellen to be his triumphant twelveth victim. Fans of psychological suspense and serial killers will enjoy DARK ANGEL. Ellen is an intrepid character, who battles against perilous odds that would have frozen Pauline. The support cast helps propel the thrilling story line forward. However, what turns Donna Ball's terrifying tale into a terrific novel is the twisted logic employed by the killer to defend his actions. Harriet Klausner
