Angel of Ruin by Kim Wilkins

This morning I finished reading Angel of Ruin by Kim Wilkins. Nearly 600 pages, most of which was enthrawling. The story is of a freelance writer in England who looks for a story and finds more than she had hoped for. She attends the ritual ceremonies of a small group of weirdos and pretends to be interested so she can write about them. Through them, she meets an old lady who is actually hundreds of years old and cannot die until she passes on her story. It's a story from the sixteenth century - ie London burning, the plague. It's a story about three sisters who are turned against each other after they lure an angel into their midst who happens to be an evil angel. The old woman is one of the sisters. Really well written, non-stop action and I had no idea what was going to happen next. Well done to Queensland writer, Kim Wilkins.
