Publisher's Summary:
Life in Clearwater was quiet, even a little dull for Grim, but it was better than the time he'd spent on the streets of Seattle. Then the strange girl arrived, abandoned at a roadside diner. Drugged, sick, with no memory of her past.
Grim had a bad feeling about her from the beginning but he didn't say anything when his foster mother, Clara, took her in. If anyone needed a home, it was this strange, sad girl - Clara's new angel.
As Angel's health improves and her memory returns, the hot Clearwater summer becomes increasingly strange. Insanity creeps through the small town like a plague, spawning violence, and no one is immune. And death has arrived in the form of a shadowy figure lurking in the woods at night.

Dark and Compelling
Broken Angel grabbed me from the very beginning. It opens by setting up the dark and compelling mystery that pulled me through the entire book. From there flows a rich story full of realistic characters and horrific events that create a rollercoaster of tension and emotion.
Brian Knightâs writing style creates a realism that makes you want to throttle him on occasion. You want a little story book style magical good thing happening inserted in there somewhere, but he gives you only the unsettling true-to-nature responses that people have in horrific situations, the murphyâs law frustration that we all experience in real life, the dangerous close-minded attitudes produced by fear. And, of course, horror perpetuating horror.
The dark mystery of Broken Angel pulls you through this page-turner right up to the sucker punch ending. No spoilers here, just an assurance that this is a must for horror fans. It has it all: supernatural suspense, mystery, graphic horror, psychological horror. It spans the spectrum of horror subgenres.
This is a re-release, so if you missed it before, here is your second chance to be properly horrified by a very talented and twisted writer. Reminiscent of very early Stephen King stories, Broken Angel by Brian Knight belongs in your collection. It is officially shelf worthy.
Excellent Novel
The thing that I think really sets this book apart are its characters. They are so three-dimensional and authentic that it's easy to suspend your disbelief. I even fell in love with one or two of them. And when you care about characters so deeply, you are truly invested in what happens to them. First rate storytelling.
Very good stuff.
Brian Knight, Broken Angel (Delirium, 2007)
Like many obsessive bookies, I have a tendency to keep lists. On one of them I jot down titles that I hear about that sound great, but that I can't yet find at Amazon. Way back in 2004, I first heard buzz about a book called Broken Angel, by a chap I'd never heard of called Brian Knight. It sounded fantastic, and it was the book with which I began keeping that particular list. Here it is five years later, and my library picked up copies. (In fact, they picked up as many copies as they do of successful midlist authors--twenty-five. Kudos to Mr. Knight.) The book has had five years to stew in the back of my head, and as usual with such things, by the time I got my hands on it, I figured it was probably the best thing since sliced bread. It's not, and if I make the attempt to divorce the lionization I gave it over the years from the thing itself, it's quite a good little book.
Grim is your typical seventeen-year-old troublemaker. Actually, he's not.
