Angels, and demons, and humans, oh my! The Lost by Vicki Pettersson certainly has some interesting characters that are used to drive a fast-paced plot. Griffin “Grif” Shaw, a literal angel on earth (just one with more of an avenging nature), is searching for the truth of his past while trying hard to live in the present with his lover, Katherine “Kit” Craig, a rockabilly reporter.
Grif is consumed by his quest to find out who killed him and his wife the first time he was on earth, and he is bringing Kit along for the ride. While working on the 50-year-old murder mystery, the duo gets caught up in a case that mingles the earthly and the supernatural. On the streets of Las Vegas, there’s a drug that not only kill its users from the inside out, literally rotting their flesh while they are still alive, but the drug also allows passage for fallen angels to rot their souls.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Lost, even though I read it out of order. This is the second book in the Celestial Blues trilogy, of which I have not yet had the pleasure to read the first book. But I will say that I am looking forward to picking up a copy to get a full view of the back story that Ms. Pettersson hints at throughout The Lost before I settle in and wait for the third book to be released. This series deserves the chance to be read in order, out of order, and over again.
