  <title>A Book Review</title>
  <link>http://artful-username.livejournal.com/423792.html</link>
  <description>One of my favorite authors was offering up review copies of her latest novel in exchange for book pimping and reviews.&amp;nbsp; So, here I am doing a bit of both.&amp;nbsp; The book in question is &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Angels-of-the-Deep/Kirby-Crow/e/9781608200269&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Angels of the Deep&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Kirby Crow and I&apos;m going to keep this short and sweet and sans spoilers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beck Merriday only wanted a simple life, but that sort of peace always seemed to elude him.&amp;nbsp; He left the FBI to become the police chief of a small town in Upstate New York to get away from a life filled with heinous crimes, only to have such crimes happen in his jurisdiction.&amp;nbsp; The first eviscerated body found in the quiet town also seemed to have a message meant for Beck.&amp;nbsp; Alas, it is not an ordinary serial killer that&apos;s hunting in Beck&apos;s town, but a being meant for one purpose: to kill and destroy.&amp;nbsp; In the midst of his failing marriage and learning how to deal with the feelings he&apos;s developed for his best friend and one of his officers, Sean, this former FBI&amp;nbsp;agent has to hunt down a killer the seems unable to be defeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The novel is another brilliant piece of writing with just the right blend of mystery, magic, and hot gay romance by Kirby Crow, whose &lt;em&gt;Scarlet and the White Wolf &lt;/em&gt;series got me hooked (you all should check that out too if great gay fantasy romance is your thing!).&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m glad I got a chance to read the book and look forward to having a physical one in my possession soon.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s well worth the read and well worth the money I&apos;m going to pay to get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d write something lengthier, but the awesomeness that is &lt;em&gt;Angels of the Deep&lt;/em&gt; just seems to make me feel like any attempt to describe it in better detail would fail miserably.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
