It is a great story.Very suspenseful. Very well written in my humble opinion.
It keeps you turning the pages.I would have given it 5 stars as I have the other 2/books,
However I thought the description of the crimes and crime scenes were a bit to gory and over the
Top. ( )

Blood Angel by Bernard Schaffer
A Santero and Rein Thriller #3

This is one crime fighting duo I do not want to say goodbye to BUT it seems this is the final installment of the Santero and Rein thriller series. I have to say that once I began reading, I could not put this book down. The introduction was intense and then the next section began fifteen years later with a suicide case that tied into that first mention of one crazy dude that was not gone or forgotten. How Rein would be brought into the case and what his part would be in the story intrigued me as I also wondered if he and Santero might have more than a working relationship eventually. This gripping story held my interest till the very end, and I have to say I am eager to read whatever Mr. Schaffer decides to write next.

What I liked:
* The plot, pace, and writing
* Santero: a strong intelligent detective dedicated to her job
* Rein: an intense man who hunts evil men and seems to understand them better than most
* The twists and turns throughout the story
* The dark, intense, gritty, and gripping way the story was presented
* Feeling I was there and wanting to shout out “beware” more than once in the story
* That I could feel the evil within The Master
* That evil did not win
* The relationship between the main characters
* That if felt “real” and believable

What I did not like:
* Knowing that there are sadists, murderers, psychopaths, and others in the world that enjoy killing
* Saying goodbye to Santero and Rein

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitely!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
