Product Description
Pay to get in,
Pray to get out.

Johnny Silver is the world's soon-to-be biggest rock star, but on the eve of his debut concert in Los Angeles, he mysteriously disappears, causing global pandemonium. His friend Taj tries to discover the truth about his disappearance, which leads her to TAP.com and its shadowy founder, Sutton Werner, who throws the wildest parties in Bel-Air.

TAP started out innocently enough, as a website that dishes the dirt on the kids of Sunset Boulevard and beyond. But it has become something more. Membership is a privilege with responsibilities and consequences.

At Sutton's parties, anything goes, especially in the legendary backroom rituals nicknamed The Angels Practice. Rumors abound of a special drink handed out at the parties that tap into otherworldly sensations.

One night Taj meets Nick, a Westside preppie who doesn't buy into the TAP mayhem, especially since his kid sister never came home from attending one of its blow-out bashes. Slowly the two of them are drawn to TAP and to each other. But Taj just might know more than she's letting on....

Are you ready for the darker side of Tinsel-town's brightest lights?

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).

A book that had so much potential that fell flat on it's face. June 3, 2008
Taj, our leading lady, cements De la Cruz's love for writing the 'teenage clothing maverick who is totally individual but can cite clothing labels left and right'. She is dating Johnny silver the new rock sensation, and one of the hottest names in the current music scene. While suspending one's disbelief for this is not hard, the subsequent plot following Taj is impossible to swallow.

TAP seems to be a social networking site that hosts some of the best, and most exclusive, teen parties. However the dark side to it keeps making guest appearances, and is more hinted at then anything.

The story actually held some potential and I was eagerly reading it, until about a few chapters toward the end I realized, "Oh no, she is not going to pull that trick is she?" Unfortunately she did, and the ending which was supposed to be wonderfully twisted comes off as impossible, unbelievable, and above all reeking of lazy writing. Twists for twists sake, is one of the most important no-no's of writing all the way up there with, sudden deus ex machina.

I was dissapointed September 14, 2008
I was very dissapointed with this book. I love Blue Bloods series so far. It's hard to believe that the two stories were written by the same author. This book is not very memorable at all. I can hardly remember much past the gist of it.
