Deadly Angel - a page turner Jan 30, 2008
By Sam Lindsey
Normally, I would not be that crazy about a book with dark undertone of sex and murder, but it only took moments to hook me and make me feel a part of the action. The words created a movie like flow and Hollywood may well find Cofrin's first novel worth the read!
The characters were richly developed and their secrets came to life in smooth transitions from surface level to who they really are inside and out. The action was fast, furious, cold blooded, concisely detailed and developed with a mounting vigor that that will take from your own energy. It is sometimes chilling and brutal when entering the world we know exists, but pray never touches us. This world is unearthed in the lives of people we often see but don't know and transported like a nasty virus to the lives of people who could be anyone of us.
There were gentle moments, like when the lovely Nichole rode her bike along the special pathways she enjoyed near the ocean and marshes, but there was never a moment when the canvas wasn't full of imagery. Danger always existed even in the safest of the elements. The spectrum of intrigue kept the pages turning because right up to the O'Henry type end there were plenty of thickening plots and developing characters to keep you up late just to see what happens next.

A thriller of high school hi-jinks, demons and dark humor. Jan 29, 2008
By Dean Scott
A good fast read. The story clips along with lots of plot twists, interesting characters and touches of dark humor. The protagonist, a young woman working undercover at a high school, deals with a variety of predicaments in her quest to solve a serial murder case. Personal demons from a tragic past intrude while she takes on biker gangs, bad guys, a lecherous teacher and official corruption. A prospect of romance arises when both science nerd and football jock vie for her affections. But her dating life takes an unexpected turn amidst a web of deadly secrets. All in all, it's high school the second time around with a roller coaster ride to the finish.

Deadly Angel by Andrew Cofrin Jul 25, 2008
By J. Finn
This is a compelling "Who Dun It" novel. The characters come alive and the story sites are realistically described. It is as if the author not only imagined the plot but may have had a part in it. I am an ardent fan of mystery and sea novels and I do most of my reading just before falling asleep. This novel kept me awake much longer than most. I highly recommend this novel as exiting reading. I have read it twice.

"HAD"
Take a beautiful girl, a series of brutal murders, and place them in the midst of a world of intrigue, sex and hug-drug revelers, and what do you have? Andrew Cofrin's heart-stopping, debut novel, "Deadly Angel."
Cofrin's gripping narrative of the American dream run amok in Newport, California, is the perfect paperback to slip into your beach bag this summer. There you'll meet Cofrin's cast of characters--Nicole, Fred,and Bobby--as you join a rave party already in full swing. With just enough obsessive love to make it interesting, the twists and turns of this psychological thriller will have you scrawling your own S.O.S. in the sand.

 facebook user who came across "Deadly Angel" Nov 05, 2010
By Josh
When I glanced onto Andrew Cofrin's facebook profile I knew something was interesting about him. When I found out that he was an author, knowing that I was a ambitious reader I was jumping for joy. I noticed his novel on his page and ordered it from Amazon.com. Four days later it came in the mail and almost immediately I started reading. After almost a week and a half of reading, I must tell you the truth the novel was one of my favorite books! I could not put it down...what a page turner!!
I took a gamble and ordered it...this would have to be a one of my best investment decisions this year. I recommend this novel to all people scanning and searching for a great epic read. Find him on Facebook add him and order his novel.
It was great!
