Elysium by Jennifer Marie Brissett

2.0

The concept of this book is interesting but it fails to deliver. I like when an author forces the reader to puzzle out what's happening, and this is definitely the case here. However, there is just too much work involved in trying to piece together what is going on. The chapters are disjointed and character names are very similar which is confusing unless you really want to put the effort into trying to figure out which character is which. I didn't. Suddenly the story with the angel dad became interesting again but I still hadn't quite figured out what was going on. A little exposition earlier in the book from the author would've gone a long way.
