Angels Found

by Ryan Southwick

An ancient evil in Anne’s head aims to ruin her tranquil life and end humanity.

It must be Tuesday.

A house of her own with a white picket fence, complete with a loving partner, Anne Perrin finally has the life of her dreams — including the job she always wanted and a caring family to share it all with.

But every Eden has its Pandora’s Box. Anne’s personal heaven is marred by a malevolent presence in her head who, if given a choice, would use her to usher in a dark age, ending humanity as she knows it. The only thing holding it at bay is an unpredictable computer implant in her chest that seems to have its own agenda.

Two unexpected visitors turn Anne’s delicate world upside down in completely different ways — one better than she could have ever hoped, one catastrophically terrible — pitting Anne in a nightmare battle against the very people she holds dearest: her family.

[Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Southwick has written a genre-crossing thriller series that gleefully combines androids, vampires, aliens, and Entities into a fast-paced and gripping story. He's clearly bursting with ideas and having a lot of fun with them. We're nowhere near the end, so buckle up. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

There is a saying in a number of businesses that in order to succeed, the battle cry is 'Go Big or Go Home'. Ryan Southwick went big, and it paid off in 'Angels Found'. This story expands on the previous two with the continuation of the Orowing/Z-tech conflict and adds a few surprise turns that raise the stakes and shift the focus of the story dramatically. One is a classic 'what the heck just happened' moment that takes you on a 'how are they going to get through this' series of moments. It is a fun, fast and well-written story that is a 'Go Big' story and really showcases the author's writing skills.
