TAP, The Angels of Practice, is all everyone can talk about. This website/drink/drug is intoxicating and no one can get
enough of it. No one can explain what TAP really is, since it is all around them and they are so dependent on it. The
company that owns it holds the most exclusive parties, grants everyone’s material wishes, provides all the gossip and
promotes the biggest rock star that everyone loves, Johnny Silver.
But then strange things begin to happen. Kids all over Sunset Boulevard are beginning to disappear, including Johnny Silver.
No one knows why this is happening, and others are too busy with TAP to worry about what is going on. Everyone except
for Nick and Taj, who are the only ones that don’t buy into the whole TAP industry.
Before they know it, Taj and Nick find themselves together, trying to solve the mystery of what is happening and even
developing a strong relationship with each other. Unfortunately, it may be too late for them to actually do anything about it.
Told through Nick and Taj’s points of view, Melissa de la Cruz takes us into a world that is far from the AU PAIRS.
ANGELS ON SUNSET BOULEVARD captures the reader from the very first page with its unusual uniqueness. Each
character brings a certain atmosphere that captivates the audience into wanting more. The reader becomes so involved in
the story that they will soon become disappointed when the book has to end.
Now the only thing left to do is wait for the next novel, which may be a long wait (well, for me that is).
