After a panicked call from his best friend, Mattie Hardwin, Luc Actar must return to Los Angeles and the life he fled three years earlier. Mattie's husband, a prestigious lawyer named Spencer Hardwin, has mysteriously disappeared. Desperate for assistance, Luc enlists the help of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in his search to find Spencer, despite his better judgment. But he soon learns that the detectives have their own reasons for locating Spencer, the lawyer has become the prime suspect in a drug dealer's brutal murder. As he hunts for the man he thought he knew, Luc's history with Mattie haunts his dreams and drives him to the depths of the misery he once escaped. Back on the streets of Los Angeles, Luc employs old friends and encounters childhood rivals to take on the sheriff's department, while a slew of lawyers impede his every move to save those closest to him from an unknown killer.

Luc survived hell once before. But this time around, his survival depends on saving the angels falling around him.

Members Reviews:

Falling Angels Delivers!

I wasn't really expecting this to be as good as it was! I read the previous reviews before getting this book and recall one of them saying they were fans of James Patterson and loving this book as well.

That intrigued me because Patterson is a fantastic writer. I gave this a chance (admittedly, starting out skeptical of that claim) and I'm glad I did and concur that mystery writer, Melissa M. Garcia is on the same level in her own way.

Her chapters are longer than Patterson's trade mark shorts ones, but her ability to keep you wondering what is going to happen next is on the same plane! It starts with a kid from the wrong side of the tracks becoming the protector of a very rich little girl. Which initially might seem like a weak story line, but the detail, the description of the relationship, and the characters themselves are all not only interesting, but very realistic!

And if you're expecting a "boy in love with girl story he can't have or doesn't deserve", you would be doing yourself a disservice, if you think that will make this an uninteresting read.

Various things are dealt with from police brutality, murder, good lawyers (and bad ones), drugs, gangs and the lives that some people are not only born into, but are fortunate if they survive, and how that life shapes the minds of those exposed to it (sometimes) in different ways.

Luc is what I would call an anti hero.
