A review by alexampersand
Close to the Ground by Jeffrey J. Mariotte

3.5

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.
