Between Passion and Revenge Part One
by Angel M. Shaw, Angel M. Shaw
I received this book as an ARC from @angelmshaw_writes and @thesmuthood and I’m so happy that I did.
Let me start by saying that this book hooked me from the very beginning and did not disappoint. I was on pins and needles the entire time. This book ends on a cliffhanger and it’s one that should be illegal – WHAT ma’am!!!!
I love a good story retelling or one based on lore. I absolutely loved that this was centered around African Mythology. As an black woman, we don’t get many books that not only give information regarding our mythology but also is centered around it and I loved how it was written here through Shea's story and Storm.
The plot was everything. Watching them deal with everyday issues, both characters and their seemingly complex relationship with their parents and feeling like they need to center other people’s wants and the guilt that comes with wanting to center your own – SO relatable. I love how obsessed Storm was with Shae and how he would do anything to make it work. He’s for sure a book boyfriend fave. Shae was relatable and real, I found a lot of myself in her character.
All and all, this was a 10/10 for me. I literally want book 2 like NOW! Please, I’m begging you, when the ARC for book 2 comes out, I must get it! My heart will only heal when I know how this ends.
