Title: Black Angel -- literary history askew here
Review: I just finished The Black Angel. I would give it two stars. The story could have been so much better if Samuels had not used it as a prop to espouse the ideals of womanhood as seen through the eyes of 21st century women. My biggest complaint has to do to the references in the book to the characters and sayings embodied by The Three Musketeers. The setting for Black Angel clearly takes place in 1786. The Three Musketeers was not even written until 1844! Methinks the author and/or her editor had their literary knowledge plainly askew. Unforgivable to my way of thinking. As to the fact that it reads like a potential series, I agree. I think I read somewhere that she intended it to be a series but her publisher threw up a roadblock to her; that she got her rights back and intends to go on and self-publish through Amazon. I have one more out of three to read of her books that I downloaded. I hope the third one (set in medieval times) is better. Otherwise...
