Angel (Manhattan Ten, #4)

[Angie]

Angel is the story of...well, Angel, who is the super brain of the Manhattan Ten. She's on her way to a recruitment fair in Los Angeles and she's investigating the murders of a handful of other superheroes. But then, there's a situation. Panther's brother, Quan, has just flow in and caused a scene. Being an expert at dealing with wayward supers, Angel heads to the airport where she manages to tranquilize Quan while he's in panther form and gets him back to her hotel. Now, not only does she had to worry about the fair and finding who's behind the murders, she has to babysit. Her powers aren't exactly being used efficiently.

I thought Angel was a lot of fun! Quan is so great! We got to meet him in Junglecat Honeymoon, and it was nice getting to know him more. Angel assigns him the role of her fake bodyguard, since he's a large man, and he just eats it up! Of course, the fake bodyguard must eventually become the real bodyguard, since Angel's big brain leads her right to the person responsible for the missing supers. The two work really well together to bring down the bad guy!

My only disappointment was that there wasn't enough kissing! Angel really isn't focused on a romance at all, but I still enjoyed the glimpse that was there. I was just glad that Angel and Quan weren't suddenly madly in love due to the adrenaline of fighting crime. They are attracted to each other, and their story ends with them in a good place. I certainly home we get to visit those two in a future novella!
