Angry God by L.J. Shen
3.0

All Saints high couldn’t finish in a better way than with Vaughn, everyone needs to agree.

I have been waiting for Vaughn since Pretty Reckless. I needed his story, needed to be inside of his head and oh, how I loved it. He’s nasty in a honest way, funny too. He was all I was waiting to be. And I really liked Lenora. He’s the perfect match for him, I knew there was more to that “brave” behavior against her bully and I liked to see all her colors, the badass and then fragile and the insecure and the provocative.

I really like their story. As couple, I mean. How it started and how it ended, I loved it. Those last chapters and the epilogue were so good, it bring all the feelings and I loved it.

My only problem is the first 70% of the book. Let me just say: the book is predictable. It is. It starts with Vaughn’s “secret”. And from early on, you know or suspect what’s the secret and who it involves. You also can predict the dramatic aspects, you know where it’s going to lead. Being predictable doesn’t have to be bad. It’s just that it was dragged. You spend 70% of the book wanting it to speed up, it’s dragged and dragged and dragged and dragged. At some point, I thought it wasn’t going to end. I wanted it to be cut short and move on.
I wanted more than those last 30%.

Not sure if is my favorite book of the series. I know Vaughn and Lenora story are my favorite. I also know that Vaughn and Lenora were perfect for the ending of this series (if it’s the ending, idk).

Now, let me go back and reread those last 3-4 chapters. It was precious, I needed more.
