Conspiracy of Angels: Novels of the Shadowside 1 by Michelle Belanger
4.0
Disclaimer: I was sent this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Although I am SEVERELY behind in doing so (oh, life, you rude cow).
Let's get to the basics:
30-something Zack wakes up half drowned in Lake Erie with no memory of who he is or how he got there. After dragging himself to dry land and making his way to a rural bar, he realizes he is able to pick up on psychic impressions and that he's a wanted murder suspect. What follows is a near non-stop thrill ride as he rediscovers a past of Angels, demons and even a few zombies.
I won't go into spoiler territory, mainly because this is a supernatural mystery so half of what I could say wouldn't make any sense, but I will say I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book both times that I've read it. Michelle Belanger managed to keep an excellent pace throughout the book with nary a dull moment. Zack is constantly on the hunt for answers to his sudden amnesia and a colorful cast of characters come along to aid (or hinder) him on his way. I absolutely love that Zack is a huge geek (literally as he is 6'3") and that practically the only memories he retains are pop-culture based. It gives the reader something to identify with so we don't feel completely out of place in this world of heavenly conspiracies.
Belanger has crafted a fantastic world with great characters and an exciting story here and I've already purchased the next novel in the series. Give this one a shot, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
