He hunts, silent and unseen.The string of mutilated bodies points to a madman, but the police are stymied. Trace evidence yields no DNA, animal or human. Male, female, young, old—the victims fall without a struggle to the killer in the shadows.
His next victim has been chosen.
For a brief time, Suzanne Harper wielded supernatural abilities and super-human athletic prowess, but that was while she had been the lover of an angel. The murders point to her former lover, and the trail of bodies tells a terrifying tale: he’s working his way to her.
Prey becomes predator.
Icarus, an angel who hunts those of his kind who have fallen from grace, enlists Suzanne’s help to stop the killer, for only one as close as a lover can anticipate his next move. Now she must reconcile her heart’s longing for her lost love with her sense of justice and honor, and she must do it fast … because the next murder could be hers.

This was a great book and I enjoyed it a lot. It's very short, but that's better than being longer than necessary for the story. I hope to see more from this author.

I really enjoyed this story. I would have liked the story to have been longer so I could have found out more about the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed Malakh and read it through in a single afternoon. Unlike others, I didn't really "feel" the adventure and mystery of the story. For me, it was more a tale of love lost, regret and emotional survival. Like the world fell away when Russ took Suzanne through his own realm, so the murder mystery fell away as Suzanne's story played out. In the end, I wished Suzanne would remember her journey from the depths of pain and loss through to moving on and living again.

Not my first choice of reading as I usually don't read about angels and vampires, etc.. But, I realize that I should and am glad that I took the time to read this novella. A very good story, congratulations for your first venture as an author.

Malakh by Sharon Gerlach is a compelling read.
Her portrayal of Angels reminded me a little of Nalini Singh - and God knows I love her Guild Hunter Series.
There was so much to love about this book. Despite its shortness, you could actually get a feel of the characters and care for them.
Suzanne was a great heroine. I totally sympathized with her overwhelming sorrow over the loss of her angelic lover, because like she says in the book, who could really set eyes on such a creature of immense beauty and fall in love?
The pace was quite good and the adventure part was also satisfying. Although, I have to admit I realized who was the killer halfway through the story, it still made an awesome read.

I really loved this novella. For the first half of the book, I thought I was going to give it four stars (which is still really good!) but by the time I was into the second half, it was definitely a five star book. Usually with stories about angels, it's kind of hit and miss for me. This novella was a hit. It was creative, well written, and well edited. The author did a great job entertaining me!
