I found this book quite confusing, maybe because I was only half listening half the time, but the ending was good as was the character development.

Do you believe in free will or that the paths we take in life are predetermined? These notions are the predominant theme of Alex North's latest novel, The Angel Maker.
I must admit I was slightly unsettled all throughout reading this book. That's obviously a good thing when you're reading a suspenseful thriller! The villain of the tale believed his actions were preordained by God. I thought it was so creepy he used that as an excuse for his vile crimes.
There are many characters and you follow all their points of view. But I never felt lost or confused. Everyone's stories came together perfectly. The pacing and connections made meant that I absolutely had to devour the story and I was left feeling satisfied but still unsettled.
I recommend going in without knowing anything and get ready to have your mind blown. Five stars for this spooky and intriguing thriller!
Thank you Celadon Books and NetGalley for the e-ARC.

I was a little disappointed in the Angel Maker. There was so much hype about this book I think I set my expectations to high. Although it had suspenseful moments, I found myself lost and confused. The jumping back and forth. The twists. I had to go back and read certain sections again to follow the story completely. Although disappointed in this book, I won’t be swayed from reading more of Alex North’s books.

Alex North never disappoints! Compelling storyline, interesting turn of events, characters with substance and complexity. Great read (or listen!) as usual!

DNF. I wanted to like this book but couldn’t keep the characters straight and just honestly couldn’t pay attention
