A review by marisas1985
Conspiracy of Angels: Novels of the Shadowside 1 by Michelle Belanger
5.0
I really had no intention of reading this book because it simply isn't a genre I thought I would enjoy. Then, I was able to see a reading by the author online of the book and it definitely peeked my interest. I ordered it from book depository so I would get free shipping and was pleasantly surprised after I read the first few pages.
This book literally has something for everyone, from supernatural, to transgender, amazing fight scenes, mystery and incredible character build. It is unique that it takes place largely in the Cleveland area. I have read a ton of books over the years and normally I see familiar cities like New York or LA, Detroit, but this has been fun because it is in a different location that other books which makes me feel like I am learning a bit about the Cleveland area while enjoying the amazing writing.
This book WILL expand your vocabulary!
I often refer to Belanger as a human encyclopedia and this first work of fiction definitely shows off her brilliant mind. Having had the opportunity to speak with Michelle on different forums in the past several years it is easy to see how this "fiction" novel is in a lot of ways a telling of her own story. Clearly a labour of love.
I can't wait for the next books in the series to come out - they are the only books listed in my budget for 2016!
