The start of the book is interesting, looking at a new civilisation of Demon called the Tuingas and how during a daily ritual of cleaning, an object of devastation falls into our dimension. This Warrior Stone, contains the emotions, felt by the warrior who wore it as he died. Now all the Demonic creatures of LA are slowly going mad by the stone's emissions of anger. Even Angel is not immune to them. As Angel feels the anger building up inside him, he keeps it a secret in order to maintain the team's newly developed sense of trust with him, after he had betrayed them by firing them. As the team start noticing normally peaceful creatures cause violence, should Angel tell them or work it out on his own? Not only does he have to contend with this uncontrollable anger but his own impersonator who is trying to help people using Angel's name and reputation. He can't understand why he has this "fan" but doesn't have time to ponder it as the city needs saving from destruction. Can Angel save the demons from the stone? Can he save the city from the demons? But more frightening to Angel: can he save his friends from himself? This book is full of action and Angel is at his brooding best. Angel's still trying to gain the team's trust back after his dark time with Darla so his angry feelings are causing a problem, especially when he trys to attack Gunn in the middle of a battle. The action is blockbuster and the plot and character development won't let you put the book down. Can't wait to see what Doranna Durgin comes up with next.
