Title : The Lost Angel
Author : Javier SierraExpected publication: October 4th 2011 by Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group

The book follows a woman with a very mysterious and unique gift. Julia is the only one who can activate stones called "adamantes". These stones are used to communicate with angels. When her husband is kidnapped by Middle East terrorists convinced they are the living descendants of angels and plan on returning to heaven, Julia must put her gift to use in order to see her husband again. It's not as easy as she thinks since a lot of people want the stones for their own use...
It's evident while reading this book that the author put a lot of hard work in researching history and facts. The book is filled with interesting historical facts and the Bible is mentioned a few times but I'd say The Lost Angel is more of an adventure novel than a religious one. The book even has a glossary at the beginning that I found very helpful throughout the book.
The Lost Angel is a fast-paced novel. Once you start reading, you can't put it down. I've read it in a day. It's that good! There's non-stop action from the first page to the last. It's an exciting novel that I think will please fans of Dan Brown's work.
4 out of 5 stars!

Though not my cup of tea, it's great to hear that you enjoyed it! Love it when a book MAKES you finish it right then and there. Happy reading!
Interesting premise! I've enjoyed books like this before (thrillers with historical background and a search for some important artifact). This genre can be fun. :)
Thanks for the review I will be linking yours to mine. Thanks Lisa bookhimdanno.blogspot.com
