Vaughn Spencer.

They call him an angry god.

To me, he is nothing but a heartless prince.

His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and boutique on Main Street.

All I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him for that time he almost killed me.

Between hooking up with a different girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses and rules, Vaughn also finds the time to bully little ole’ me.

I fight back, tooth and nail, never expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high school.

But here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the outskirts of London.

A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody genius.

They say this place is haunted, and it is.

Carlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets.

Vaughn thinks he can kill the ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s slaying.

Angry God is a stand-alone, DARK High School Romance. It deals with sensitive subjects some may find triggering.

Angry God by LJ Shen–Review

Feb18

Whoa. Wow. Ok. Where do I even start with this one.

First and foremost, I appreciate Leigh’s candidness regarding trigger warnings in her books. By putting a warning on a book, you are immediately on edge knowing something is going to happen. As a reader, you anticipate the storyline a little bit without reading and enjoying in the present. With that said, all I can reiterate is whoa, wow, ok!

I have conflicting angel and devil on my shoulders regarding Angry God. Baron ‘Vicious’ Spencer is a formidable man, which made me super excited to read about Vaughn. Was Vicious Junior as bad as his father or did he exceed him? I think it’s safe to say in this standpoint, ‘like father, like son’.

Vaughn is highly complicated and for the first half of the book you could tell that the boy had issues. The only relationship not complicated was with Vaughn and Emilia. He was a momma’s boy and it was sweet to see this relationship. Vaughn also had a good relationship with his father, since they were of the same temperament.

Lenora (Len/Lenny) was a unique character. She always wanted to be the person that didn’t stand out. She wanted to simply fade into the walls and hope people would forget her. Too bad that wasn’t going to be the case after meeting Vaughn. In the beginning of the book, Len was a little mousy for me. She hadn’t had an easy childhood either, but I wasn’t extremely fond of her. When she went back to Carlisle Prep, she emerged as a different person. I loved it. She stood her ground and didn’t let anyone push her around. She had found her voice!

Despite being told in dual POV, I feel like it mostly is Vaughn’s book and journey to redemption and revenge. Can baby Vicious rebuild a heart that is black and rotten to its core? Can Len heal not only herself, but that wasteland where feelings should be in Vaughn? I recommend this book but will also say it may not be for everyone. So, if you’re feeling adventurous and have your mind and heart open to a wide array of feelings and emotions, then this book is for you.

MY REVIEW

Wendy

I was just a normal girl in a normal human world. I’d loved. I’d lost. I’d grieved, and after some time, I moved on.

Then, and quite suddenly, he returned.

He—Peter Pan, my first love; a monster in disguise.

In the end, he paid the ultimate price, but his demise wasn’t enough.

Now, I’m paying off the interest, dragged into a realm filled with wicked creatures I thought only existed in fairy tales and lores.

They want answers.

And I have none to give.

But the proverbial hourglass is draining of sand, and as darkness consumes, I find myself accepting the fact I’ll never make it home.

I’ll die at their merciless hands.

That is, until one valiant creature intervenes—leader of The Lost Boys.

The Alpha.

Tavi

Finding Wendy was by sheer chance.

From the moment I saw her, I was blasted with this fierce sense of duty.

I can’t explain it.

All I knew was, I had the save her.

So I did, brought her back to the Woodlands—The Lost Boys’ stomping grounds. But her connection to Peter leaves her as ostracized as he once found himself.

Until her mortality poses a concern, one the factions can’t ignore.

One no one has answers for, either.

Both my father and the Sacred Six warn there might not be any, but that doesn’t deter Wendy from trying to find a solution.

Despite such pressing matters, though, there’s a singular thought that incessantly crosses my mind.

Proof that fate is real.

She’s mine.

And I’ll be damned if anyone—or anything—tries to rip my little wolf away from me.

Lost Girl by Dee Garcia-Review

Feb14

Prior to reading Venom, I had never read one of Dee Garcia’s books. I LOVED Venom immensely, which is weird to say since I’m not a huge PNR/Fantasy reader. Venom, however, made me a believer in the PNR romance field. So, what’s the big deal about Venom when I’m writing about Lost Girl? Lost Girl is the spinoff from that book into a new series.

Lost Girl was awe-inspiring, jaw dropping and sinfully delicious. I was so entranced while reading this, that I was in my own little reading bubble and oblivious to what was going on around me. The clarity in which she writes about these characters and the world that they live in made me feel like I was right there with them.

Speaking of characters, Tavi and Wendy were the next genius couple to be written about. Lost Girl Wendy is not the Wendy of Peter Pan’s past and Tavi, well Tavi is just plain yumminess on a stick! He is an alpha true to the core and those instincts are kicked into super drive when he sets his sights on Wendy.

Lost Girl is a book that you need to read. Dee’s storylines blend amazingly well, the characters are well thought out and plot points are not glanced over lightly but integrated into past/present history seamlessly. Well Done Dee! I am anxiously excited for the next book in the series

“You did.” King glares at me.

I grin. “I didn’t actually, I just tore the fuckers down.”

About the Author:

Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.

New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.
