In Linda Howard’s gifted hands, second chances, unexpected romance, and unrelenting action combine into a riveting new novel of suspense. In Death Angel, bad girls can wake up and trust their hearts, bad guys can fight for what’s right . . . and dying just might be the only way to change one’s life.A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea Rousseau is more than content … than content to be arm candy for Rafael Salinas, a notorious crime lord who deals with betrayal through quick and treacherous means: a bullet to the back of the head, a blade across the neck, an incendiary device beneath a car. Eager to break with Rafael, Drea makes a fateful decision and a desperate move, stealing a mountain of cash from the malicious killer. After all, an escape needs to be financed.
Though Drea runs, Salinas knows she can’t hide–and he dispatches a cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of events. Or does it?
Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living a changed woman. She’s no longer shallow and selfish, no longer steals or cheats or sells herself short. Both humbled and thrilled with this unexpected second chance, Drea embraces her new life. But in order to feel safe and sound–and stop nervously looking over her shoulder–she will need to take down those who marked her for death.
Joining forces with the FBI, supplying vital inside information that only she can provide, Drea finds herself working with the most dangerous man she’s ever known. Yet the closer they get to danger, the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life itself–as well as her heart.

Linda Howard is an awesome author. One of my favorites.
One of her best and I have read many of hers and they r all top notch
Its been a few years, however, this book has the characters chemistry right on. I was intrigued by blind knowledge of what to do in situations, who to trust, and making things right. Linda Howard, catches me off guard, and totally entertained.
I’ve never read a Linda Howard book that I didn’t like. She is methodical about her research. The out of body death experience for the main character is unique and makes me hope that’s what really happens!
I also like the fact that in this book the main characters aren’t really “regular” people shall we say. (hit man and glorified gold …
A very fun read! Some of the things that happened were out there a bit but very entertaining and easy to read.
Two main characters were both flawed individuals who came together and made each other stronger. Don’t think they would ever be normal but they were definately better together.
characters are good… has a few good plot twists!
This is not foer everybody. The main characters are not the “best” kind of people. But the story was good.
This book is a quirky one. Very different Linda Howard. The protagonist changes her life based on a NDE.
Excellent romantic suspense.
Linda Howard never disappoints!
I have read this book at least 3 times give it an A
My favorite author never fails to deliver, but this is a very gripping read.
One of my favorite writers. Her characters are so believable and interesting. She gets your attention and keeps it.
I rarely pass up a book by Linda Howard. I’ve been reading her books for many years and I found this one is Good as it gets. This book was multifaceted and I found I couldn’t put it down. I sure enjoyed all the suspense.
One of the things I enjoyed most about this book is how different it was from almost every romance book I’ve read, and believe me I’ve read more than my share. In the beginning, I didn’t know what to make of the heroine or hero. They certainly weren’t the typical romantic leads we’ve become accustomed to. She was the live-in girlfriend (kept …
I couldn’t put it down the first time I read it and I won’t borrow it to anyone for fear I won’t get it back. This one is a keeper and a re-reader!
This book was my first by this author, and I must admit, it made a great first impression, so much so, I ended up hitting my local library for more of her books! Highly entertaining, with just the right amounts of everything a romance mystery books should have!!
