There's just something by the (ex)Wrestler named The Rock, and his films.

Big, dumb action films for the most part.

And that, in my book, is a good thing.

In this, he plays a former FBI agent who is now a security expert (following his disastrous last mission, which cost him a leg) who must now rescue his family from inside a burning building in Hong Kong - the Skyscraper of the title, and the highest building in the world - while the local police believe he is responsible for starting the fire (he is, of course, being framed for the same).

I only saw this on the small screen: I can only imagine what the various vertiginous stunts would have looked like on the big screen!

Amelia's sister has been kidnapped by the devil so she asks Veiron, the fallen angel with attitude, to go and rescue her sister. He agrees (after some snarky comments) and heads off to help. Erin meanwhile is trapped inside a three-walled cell with an open drop to a river of lava on the fourth wall. She is beaten, and starved, but still keeps her sense of self. When Veiron comes to her rescue, she can't quite believe her luck. Rescued at last and by a hottie too.

These two certainly have fun along the way as they find out each other's secrets, amongst other things. They are a perfect match in that Erin's feisty attitude doesn't take any of Veiron's snarkiness. This doesn't mean that there aren't misunderstandings and differences of opinion along the way.

Their path is not a straight one, mind you, and they have to deal with Erin's secret and what happens to Veiron (trying really hard not to spoil anything here!).

Amelia also tries her best to keep Erin and Veiron apart although the reasons for this, apart from her thinking that Veiron isn't good enough for Erin, aren't clear. I did like Erin's response though that she should get off her power trip before she gets knocked off it!

A brilliantly written, fast-paced and full of action addition to the Her Angel series, definitely my favourite so far. I'm off to read Her Wicked Angel now though so that may change.
