Kill All Angels

The Vicious Circuit, Book 3

By: Robert Brockway

Narrated by: Scott Merriman, Emily Foster, Angela Dawe, Jesse Lee

Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins

Publisher's Summary

The concluding volume in the humorous punk rock adventure that began with The Unnoticeables and The Empty Ones.

After the events of the first two books of the Vicious Circle series, Carey and Randall reached LA during the early '80s punk scene, which was heavily mixed up with Chinatown. A young Chinese girl with silver hair is the Empty One that seems to run things there, and her ex-lover, an Empty One named Zang, has apparently turned against them and may or may not be on Carey's side.

In modern times, Kaitlyn and company have also returned to LA because her powers have been growing and she has been having visions that may be telling her how to kill all of the angels. The downside being that they have to find a new one, first - and LA is the only place they know where to do that.

Steeped in the LA punk scene in the '80s, Chinatown, sunken suburbs, the ocean and gargantuan things that swim in it, Kill All Angels is everything that fans of Robert Brockway's irreverent humor have been looking for to end the series with a bang.

Awesome

One of my favorite series now. The story is epic. Im so glad i stumbled upon this book series.

Finish it out with a bang

First the women characters were written beautifully. Not once did a woman roll her eyes in disagreement.
They cursed and fought right back.
It was a great ending. I read the first book a few years ago. It was a scary world the writer had me in. I did need a year or two to go back in there.

normally wouldn't read but . . .

I'm really going to miss Kerry! This story was a little weird starting out but damn if it doesnt grow on you. I tried it because of one of the narrators, and I'm really glad I did.

absolutely stunning

the closest to perfect for an ending you could get. I myself cried a bit and it was wonderful.

Bittersweet, funny conclusion

As satisfying a conclusion as I could have hoped for. I loved these characters, and the fast plot of this novel made it feel like it was over before it had barely begun. Cannot wait to dig into Carrier Wave.

requires headline

I listened to all three books back to back i didn't like it at first (I think it was just a newish author falling into some tropes) but by the end it made me cry and I was attached to all of the characters. (remeber this is the 3rd in a series.)

Beautiful!!

I absolutely loved everything about this story. The readers put so much emotion into it that I really felt like I was there. I laughed, I got angry, and most importantly, I'm sitting in my car to go to work trying not to cry.

A punk's requiem and the fate of the world

If someone had pitched this book to me as the story of a sun-baked, hungover punk; a brain-washed, spoon-fed actress; and a wide-shouldered, self-conscious stunt woman, brandishing their peculiar talents in a behind-the-curtain defense of the world as we know it, I probably would have listened to it sooner.

I thank all angels and space whales picking up this signal for allowing me to come across this series. Not only was the narrative engaging, but the personalities evoked by the beautiful writing and brilliant ensemble performance were captivating, compelling, comedic, contemplative, and down-right corny, a hodgepodge of emotions at every turn ensuring that you're not quite sure when you should take a break.

the only bad thing about this book is that it ende

I loved this book, the series, and the readers. while I am sad that this is the end I am happy with how it ended.

Great Series

great narrators as in the previous books. excellent conclusion to the series. no pretentious bullshit.

Overall, it was a satisfying conclusion!

**SPOILER**

I have to get one thing of my chest before starting the review properly; where is Meryl in this story? She walks away from the battle at the end of the second book and this is the last we see of her, apart from a few cursory mentions towards the end of 'Kill All Angels'.

**END OF SPOILER**

With that out of the way, I did enjoy this third entry on the whole, but my view is a lot more weighted than with the first two books:

- The big developments largely succeed in landing, but the final "twist" did not really stick for me.
- The majority of the characters are just as solid as they have been all series, but Gi is a one dimensional villain with no real development or menace behind her. Similarly, I find it confusing, in that Gi is certainly less of a threat than Meryl ever was...
- Carey's story is really heartbreaking and genuinely made my heart bleed with empathy, but Brockway pulls the same trick he does in 'The Empty Ones', by pulling one of the characters from the Carey timeline into to Kaitlyn story and it's less impressive the second time around. In addition, I can't help but feel that the author continues to retcon Carey's history in order to make it better fit with the Kaitlyn timeline in the present.
- I enjoyed the journey each of the characters undertakes, but there is large amounts of unfinished business that Brockway never addresses.

I recommend 'Kill All Angels', it is a good finale and great closer to as series I have fully enjoyed, from start to finish.
