Angry God by L.J. Shen
2.0

YOU GUYS!!!! I AM SO FREAKING BUMMED! THIS WAS NOT HOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO REACT TO THIS BOOK!

When I knew Vaughn Spencer was getting his book I was over the moon! I mean, this is Vicious and Millie's kid! It's my main OPTs kid, of course, I was stoked to read this book!

I wish I could say that I loved this book but I can't. The last 30% of the book was my favourite but the start and middle was something I couldn't deal with, that's my hangup, and Vaughn and Lenora weren't someone that I warmed up to. I had so many hopes from this book, the characters and the story and it is so unfortunate that it just didn't meet the expectations.

I couldn't connect with either Lenora or Vaughn and that was one of my major issues.

Lenora and Vaughn evoked a sense of sympathy in me for them even though I couldn't get over some of the things that Vaughn did. I can't say I understood him or why he went about doing things the way he did in the first half of the book.

Vaughn is complex and I believe he is the first L.J. Shen character where I have no urge to dissect his psyche or what his thought process is. Imma be far away from that head, yo.

Despite my lack of connection and not loving the story the I had hoped to, there were a few parts that were my absolute favourite! Vaughn's letter to Lenora... Gosh, this was the most unexpected thing in the world and I just couldn't get over how beautifully penned down that was.
Vicious and Emilia's point of view was so so so good! I especially loved Millie's point of view and that was what broke me. I also LOVED seeing Vicious as a dad and I wish I could have had a little more of that.


One of the things that I loved about the All Saints Hight as a series is a glimpse into the parents' point of view. Those chapters just added the extra oomph and gave us the much-needed insight into the situations through a parents' perspective.
To see Vicious and Emilia, Jamie and Melody, Dean and Rosie and Trent and Edie be parents and watch their kids was something special for me.


If a bully romance if your thing, a romance that goes to the extremes then you are in the right place!


PS. I just feel I need to add trigger warnings. If you don't like them, you can skip and if you do, just click the 'view spoiler'!
