TAP #1
The Angel Project
A dangerous past. A woman on the run. And a future that might get cut short.
As a child, Channing lived through the horror of witnessing her mother’s murder at her father’s hand. She grows up in the foster care system, angry at the hand she's been dealt. After a terrifying incident that hits too close to home, Channing decides to get her life together—but when she uses the most dangerous weapon in her arsenal to help a friend—everything changes.
Now Channing is being hunted by the FBI, The Angel Project, and another shadowy group who hasn’t shown its true intentions. She struggles to stay one step ahead, uncovering information along the way that makes her question everything she’s ever known. Trusted friends could now be enemies and Channing doesn’t know where to turn or even who she is anymore. She needs answers, but time is running out—and there are no second chances.

WOW! What an awesome start to a new series! I started this book at night and read until I fell asleep, then picked it up again as soon as I got up. I can not wait for book #2.
This story is similar to the authors Ten Seconds series, as it starts out kind of slow but quickly ramps up and has several twists and turns I could not have predicted!! As soon as I thought I had figured out who the "bad guys" were something would happen and I'd change my mind. It kind of has a sci-fi element to it which I can't explain without giving anything away, but you'll understand once you start reading it.
You'll want to make sure you have plenty of time to read before starting this one, because you're not going to want to put it down. L.A. Clayton has quickly become one of my favorite suspense authors.

I desperately wanted to binge this book as I did the “Ten Second” series, however there was a lot of information to absorb. Much of this book takes place in Channing’s head- via it be her reflecting, inner thoughts, or other means (no spoilers here, wink wink)!
I’m interested to see where this series goes.
If I could give LA Clayton one recommendation, can we have a little romance next time? Pleaseeeeee

This is a great start to another super interesting series. I love the intrigue that Clayton perfectly sets up with each new revelation. Just when you think you may figure something out, the plots gets thicker. LOVE!! Cannot wait until book 2!!!

Thrilling and suspenseful, this book set the stage for an action packed adventure.
I loved how the story had so many layers to uncover that left me on the edge of my seat. There are so many twists and turns that I couldn’t figure out what was happening next.
The characters had pulled you into their story and made it a quick and interesting read. Highly recommend.

Cliffhanger alert
More sci-fi than I expected. Parts were very technical about the brain, and I'm a nurse. Wasn't warned about cliffhanger ending. Was well written, just not what I expected or prefer to read.

Another great series from Clayton
Similar to the 10 seconds series, this book start slowly, hit a major plot turn and took off in a way that I couldn’t put it down. Having read that series, I expect major plot twists that I won’t see coming in this series.

Thought Provoking!
This book had a great story line with strong characters who continued to develop as the story progressed. I’m always somewhat disappointed when a sequel is needed to complete the story, but that doesn’t take away from the author’s work.

Fascinating
The idea that all humans are chipped when they are born is frightening and scary to me. Too much government control if one exhibits certain traits. And to read about what potentially can happen makes this story fascinating.

The Angel
In this novel Channing- the main character keeps you forever guessing.
The detail Clayton provides will not let you put this book down nor let you stop trying to figure out who you know and what you don’t know.
I highly recommend this book.

Enjoyable
Bit ott and repetitive of the main protagonist's life, ok foster care/ streets can be mean but you covered it earlier! Don't go on and on about it 😉😀
This is a canny series starter hope everyone gives it a chance.

A good beginning to a series
This book caught me by surprise, but an apt book for our times post pandemic. I looked forward to see how this story unfolds. Good job.

Angels
This fictional story brings a family torn apart by tragedy and seeing how it affects many of the story characters.

Not a fluent story with a convoluted plot line.

This book was such a fantastic surprise! An interesting concept, loads of twists and some sexual frisson to boot. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

It took almost all of this book to get me interested in the story. I kept going to other books because it was so slow in the first 2/3 of the book

Chop interest
I kept wanting to go back and read more. I liked that I couldn't figure out the storyline ahead of time. Nuh

Intense read
This book is quite awesome, so intense you can't put it down. It's so wonderfully paced that it won't let you go until you you are done with it.

So good I had to immediately download the next book and then the next one. Read all 3 on as many days had me completely hooked.

I enjoyed the concept, but found the writing to be rambling at points. The e-book should go through a spell/grammar checker to weed out the errors.
