This book to me was a little dark but I enjoyed that about it. I think it fits how the author wanted us to feel about this book. I enjoyed the up and downs and twists, I was on the edge of my seat of this book. This book is not all roses and sunshine but does reflect things that are real about life. I think the characters felt real to me and I was lost in this book. *This book was given to me for free at my request in LibraryThing giveaway and I provided this voluntary review.* ( )

I liked this book. The detective plot is sometimes very stark, but the love story between Lazarus and Charlie mitigate it. ( )

I liked this story. I liked the storyline of selling body parts. The gore was not over the top. The author understands language and uses it well. I think the characters could have been more developed, especially Shane/Peter. At times I wasn't sure if he was a good person underneath the subterfuge or not. It would have been nice to know something of his former life but maybe this was done in a previous book? I didn't particularly like the character of Charlie but you don't have to like the characters you read about. All in all it was an enjoyable read and I would read the next in the series if there was one. ( )

The beginning of this book was interesting. I was trying to find out what was going on and who was killing. But then, it became confusing with all the new characters introduced. I lost track of it all. The characters weren't real enough to me. The story might have been a good one, if it had been done differently. Maybe begin the story with the cop going undercover. I was lost after a while. ( )

Mix suspense with tragedy, add a dash of romance and pour it all in a spooky environment and by spooky I mean something along the lines of body brokering, human trafficking, physical and emotional abuse, drugs, crimes, etc.

Peter Lazarus, an undercover cop going by the name of Shane sterns is putting himself in serious danger as he tries to investigate and uncover a brotherhood’s twisted scheme. Are they just moving heroin? Or is it something a lot more sinister? How far one could go to get answers? And is getting the job done more important than protecting your own family? Can a person slowly become what he pretends to be?

“I know, but remember, you are imagining, pretending to be a part of that world. Don’t become it. You have to not become that, or they’ve won something that we can never replace.”

This book will manage to break your heart while getting you to swiftly turn the pages in the hope of getting some answers. The story is so elegantly-presented and the characters are all quite interesting. It is also a light-and-fast-paced-read that once you start reading, I doubt you’d want to put down, so if you’re up for the challenge, you should definitely get your hands on a copy of “Angels Cry”. You won’t regret it, I promise!
