This book really felt like quite a mishmash of ideas: there's Angel working as a bodyguard for a rich teen, Cordelia working at a movie studio, Lockley investigating bank robberies, and also a mysterious demon hunting after Angel. It sort of works and propels itself along, until about two-thirds of the way through when it feels like the demon hunting Angel just bulldozes over the rest of the plot (with some very annoying Older English speak) and everything else seems to be cast off to the side.
The rest of the plots do sort of come back together and tie in, but in a way that didn't really feel super satisfying for me.

Anyway, I was not overly impressed, and I thought much of the Angel characterization would have fit better for Xander. Some of his comments just didn't seem very Angel. But this is first season, perhaps I am more used to the jaded Angel from the end of the series.

I think I read this last year, but the plot and my enjoyment level hasn't stuck in my mind at all. I'm giving it a three because I assume it was halfway decent, the really bad ones (or the really good) leave more of an imprint than the okay ones.
