Publisher's summary

A tale of family horror in the tradition of The Bad Seed and The Omen from the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Dialogues with the Devil.

To his mother, Angelo is the most beautiful and brilliant child in the world. She caters to his every whim and dismisses his malicious outbursts as childish pranks. But as Angelo grows older, his behavior only becomes more disturbing.

A pet dog disappears. A playground run-in leaves one of his teachers with a broken arm. Still, his mother refuses to believe that anything is wrong with her precious angel. His father and his aunt, however, have begun to suspect that behind Angelo's cherubic smile lurks a dark and twisted monster who preys on the innocent. But how do they reveal Angelo's true nature before it's too late?

A mesmerizing portrait of evil personified, Wicked Angel is a psychological tour-de-force from an author who "never falters when it comes to storytelling" (Publishers Weekly).

Too much exposition and heavy handed Christian overtones

I was engaged enough to listen to the whole thing. However, now that it’s over, I was not in the least surprised by anything. This isn’t worth the free listen

This one scared me!

The storyline was great and the narrator was even better. But it came so close to being real like happening right in front of me. It scared me. I had bad dreams for a few days.
