“A dynamic cast of characters, lush settings, and an engaging plot that is sure to excite Casey’s legion of loyal fans.”—New York Times bestselling author of Perennials, Julie Cantrell.

The jungle 1949: Everyone said it was impossible, dangerous, unwise. Three expeditions mounted by men had failed. How could one led by a woman succeed? “Don’t be a fool. You’ll die out there,” a friend whispered to Ruth. But a siren haunted her dreams, calling to her. She had no choice but to follow it into the deepest, darkest jungle in the world, a decision that would change her life forever.

Houston 1993: A violent storm pummels the Gulf Coast. Fleeing from her abusive husband, Gabby Jordan becomes disoriented and lost. After a terrifying escape, she happens upon a convenience store bulletin board that leads her to the ramshackle, riverside house of a woman named Ruth. As Gabby’s husband hunts her down, intent on revenge, Gabby and Ruth rely on their instincts and each other to fight for survival.

Inspired by the true story of a woman explorer, Angel Falls is a poignant, inspirational tale of two women who join forces to fight a deadly enemy and, in the process, confront painful pasts to find peace with long-hidden secrets.

"Amazing book!!... Angel Falls is a beautifully written story that you won't forget any time soon. I find my mind still goes back to the jungle and the beautiful and majestic Angel Falls." —Five-star Goodreads review

“Extensive research, beautifully told.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen

“Casey is one of the best.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Rule

“Casey is clearly talented.” —the Baltimore Sun

“Casey has a deft touch with dialogue and character development.” —the Cleveland Plain Dealer

“I love Kathryn Casey—always smart, always scary, and always pitch-perfect.” —Ron Franscell, bestselling author of Morgue: A Life in Death

Two great story lines that deserved to be told. One based on the true story of Ruth and another that unfortunately echos through some women's lives everyday. Well written and well told!

Dual timeline, great characters, captivating writing...this book has it all! The best books I read are ones in which I learn something new...especially something so exciting and captivating as Ruth's story. Both women..Ruth in 1949 and Gabby in 1993 face their own struggles and in the end unite together. The story of Ruth was especially compelling...a true hero and pioneer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel Falls - Brave
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

Kathryn Casey continues to take us into the world of her characters and stories both true and fiction. To read Kathryn Casey is to travel deep into the world where experiences are as real as the emotions invoked. Angel Falls is a story of adventure and everyday life. Adventure brings a sense of bravery needed to survive everyday life. I completed Angel Falls two weeks ago but still find myself gazing out the window wondering if Ruth and Gabby are watching the river and sharing life. Thank you Kathy for another experiential trip to somewhere otherwise unknown. You have outdone yourself Ms. Casey. I am truly grateful

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel Falls Is a Poignant and Unforgettable Book.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023

Angel Falls by Kathryn Cassey is a beautiful professionally written book and a hidden gem. Gabby needs somewhere safe to hide from her abusive husband. Ruth Robinson and Gabby meet when Nick takes her to Ruths house after she gets lost during a storm and lands at Nicks shop. The storyline is about both the women’s lives when Ruth invites Gabby to stay in return for her help around the house which is hidden away in a beautiful setting.
I have never heard of Ruth Robinson who I found to be an amazing woman and an incredible person who was fearless and showed such spunk and bravery no matter her situation. Ruth was journalist, a photographer and an explorer who travelled into different countries for her story's. This took Ruth on many journeys and adventures, and I loved reading about Ruths exploits and her exploration into the jungle was a remarkable feet as Ruth and her team eventually reached Angel falls.
Gabby's story really drew me in as well and provided a contrasting effect to Ruth's memories and stories. Kathryn does an incredible job weaving both Ruth's life and her past together with Gabby's story. You will find Angel Falls is a poignant and unforgettable book which is beautifully written and once read a book that you will not forget any time soon, especially the stories about women breaking ground and leaving legacies that should never be lost or forgotten. I highly recommend this book to people who love to read about amazing women in history, and book clubs will love this book as there is so much to discuss afterwards.

ÁNGEL FALLS drew me from the get go and did not release the intense pull until the end. Even at the end I wanted to know more but that’s just me.
The unique hybrid approach of incorporating a fictional character along with a non-fictional character into the story line dovetails excellently. Both protagonists are well-developed and inspirational to each other and the reader. Casey is a master storyteller. I enjoyed having the pictures interspersed throughout the telling.
This is a must read.

I read this book as soon as it came out because I enjoy Kathryn Casey’s books - especially her fiction books. It ended up being a selection for one of my book clubs. She was able to join us and discuss the book. It was very informative! I recommended it for another book club I’m in and I’m looking forward to the discussion.

Two interwoven stories are laid out: one the fictional account of Gabby, inspired by thousands of real life terrors experienced by survivors of domestic violence, the other the account of the real life exploits of Ruth Robertson Marietta,, with a few imagined flourishes. The fictional device of having our real life heroine Robbie giving shelter to the composite figure of Gabby, an intelligent woman battered into submission and shame by the man she loved, allows the author to develop the theme of the underdog who summons reserves of courage to overcome adversity and triumph against all odds. Sometimes, to reveal messy truths, fiction can strip the veil better than a news report.

A goodly portion of this story is set in remote Venezuela where I lived some 45 years ago. No doubt that had something to do with the pleasure I experienced in reading the story. Putting that aside, the experiences of the two women featured in the story were riveting, so much so that I read more slowly so as to prolong the read. Very highly recommended.
