Review: Angry God

Angry God by L.J. Shen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars
Boy,This was intense!
But honestly, what more could you expect from Vicious' spawn?

This is the third book in the All Saint's Highseries and one of the most anticipated books of 2020, because come-on... It's L.J Shen!

Vaughn Spencer is the child of Vicious and Emilia, our primary characters from the book one of Sinners of the Saint series and before proceeding to talk about Angry God, I gotta say that Vicious was absolutely outstanding and one of my most favorite book of all time! Followed closely by Sparrow (The things my heart does at the mere mention of Troy Brennan....)
Anyways, I liked this book, the storyline was amazing. What stole that one star from it was the execution.

This was like Vicious rebooted but only not that good.
I couldn't help but compare both the books at some point reminding myself that Vicious too bullied Emilia because he thought she'd heard something that she shouldn't have, same way Vaughn bullied Lenny because he thought she'd seen something she shouldn't have. Only Vaughn chemistry with Lenny wasn't as strong as between his parents.

His bullying methods were more childish than cruel (public blow jobs didn't impress me).

We knew something was wrong with Vaughn from the preceding books and honestly, the first thing I'd guessed was Child Abuse and I was right. Shen's writing skills still blows my mind. Her ability to capture such strong emotions in flawless words is absolutely commendable.
The only thing I felt was that this book should have been more Vaughn-Lenny than just Vaughn.

Lenora Astalis is an artist who believes beauty can be found in ugly and useless things. Frankly, I loved her art and her passion and the way she held herself. She was sassy and refreshing and I loved her for her spine. She had few issues herself. In more ways than one, she was the perfect heroine for a character like Vaughn.

I just wish that unnecessary parts (Arabella and Edgar's relationship and Rafferty Pope's intervention) were not given so much weight.

But all in all This was absolutely amazing!

ARC Review- Charlie by Siobhan Davis

Blurb:- Demi Dropping out of college senior year was never part of my plan. But Dad needs me, and I’d move mountains for the only parent I’ve ever known—even working for the company that fired him. My boss, Charlie, is determined to make my life a living hell, availing of every opportunity to undermine my confidence, to humiliate and threaten me. Sleeping with him the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude. Or the fact I’m the spitting image of the woman he really wants. If our financial situation wasn’t so dire, I’d tell Charlie to stick his job up his delectable butt. But I’m trapped, and things are only getting worse. Because the more layers I uncover, the more I realize he is nothing l expected and everything I crave. Charlie If there was a manual for all the ways a person could mess up his life, it’d have my name written on it. I can’t undo the things I’ve done, no matter how badly I want to, and every day is a constant reminder of my epic failure. Espec

Review - The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent

The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent My rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 stars 🌟 For my reviews and more, visit my blog LaraBabbles Book Blog My mother probably thought I had a break up over phone or bad period cramps. Yep! That is how I ugly cried while reading this book. After a series of disappointing reads, this book came to me as a life-saver. The Unrequited is going to be my all time favorite book from now on. I must confess that when I read the blurb, I thought that this book was going to be another explicit story about how a girl lusts after her Professor and all the typical drama that comes with a forbidden Romance. And for my ignorance and stereotyping, I got smacked in my face with a bucket load of angst and a beautiful heartbreaking story. I was in a perpetual state of blocked throat while reading this book. The Unrequited is a story of a heartbroken girl, Layla Robinson who has sworn off love due to a terrible ending with her first attempt at loving someone. She is miserabl
