I identified myself sooo much with the book, I can’t totally explain it. I am an artistic person, I love art, history and everything old.. so most of the story being settled in a castle, all the description of the characters feelings toward their art, made it sooo much more enjoyable for me. It was like I was inside the book the whole time! (I felt something similar with “Vicious” because of Millie’s artistic side, and that one is my all-time favorite book!)Talking about Daddy Vicious...ahhhh Vic! My favorite character being in Angry God made the story sooo much more special! In the months awaiting for this book, all I could think of was that we would get a little bit more of the Spencers. Several people are complaining about not seeing much of Baron and Emilia in AG, but I honestly think it was just on point. (Of course Vicious is never too much, I could have 5 more books about him) I think that people are forgetting that this book was about Vaughn and Lenora and not about him with his family. We can’t compare it to Broken Knight for example, where we got many glimpses of Rosie and Dean, because that was somehow part of the background story. That needed to be shown because it was part of who Knight was, it was part of what made the book emotional. That is something else with Angry God. Vaughn’s storyline was not about him and his family, it was about something that happened to him and made him who he is, showing his struggles, but also showing his resilience when he finally accepts love in his life.But anyway, I loved to see Vicious and Vaughn’s father/son relationship. Their bond, their similarities, their love for Emilia. I can truly imagine them both as real people. The characters of Leigh (especially the Sinners of Saint and All Saints High ones) are so well built, they are sometimes so real with all their flaws and raw feelings, that you have the sensation that you know them your whole life, or that you are part of their family yourself. It’s pure magic!I loved also that the heroine is not a weak and fragile girl. Lenora is tough, determined, resilient. Even if her Angry God is at some point her weakness, he is also her strength. And it is what it makes this books sooo remarkable.Real life people and their relationships are not always “beauty” and “perfection”.People hurt and get hurt, people burn but also get burned. There are always consequences for your choices, and the fact that you can go through some bad stuff but somehow recover and be resolute about what you want in life, makes you so much more ready for living it.In my opinion, people’s strength shows not that they don’t have a heart. In fact it shows that their heart is so big that they can be humble about it, about their feelings, and then when they find the right person, they can easily share it with her/him.That is how Lenora and Vaughn are. Two special, unique creatures that were “a match made in hell, but they made sense.” (There isn’t any other sentence that could describe them better!)I’m literally feeling too much right now, and I simply LOVE when books make me feel. Feel alive, overjoyed, or feel angsty and distressed.Since I listened to it simultaneously while reading, the change of voice tone of Jacob Morgan (Vaughn’s narrator) for Vicious’ parts were incredible! I have to say, when he started a new chapter with “Come in” I was literally already smiling because I knew it was Vic. And that’s the thing about this book. I had a smile plastered on my face nearly throughout the entire reading. The British accent of both narrators, but specially of Kylie Stewart (Lenora’s voice) was impeccable! Just on point!This is not an over-the-top dark romance. In fact I would consider it “light” dark. Some stuff happen, there is a lot of bully but in the end, the story is about how sometimes people are not in charge of what happens to them. Life literally happens, it doesn’t matter if you are filthy rich, if you are surrounded by family and friends that love you. Sometimes bad things happen and we get stuck in it. This is about how Lenora and Vaughn find themselves in each other, how they save each other from their own demons. How love can literally change someone’s life decisions, because at the end you need to think about the other person too and not only on yourself.This book is oh so precious!So there is no more to say than that I really loved how the story ended. It was perfect and the only problem was that it got to an end.Angry God gets 5+ ⭐️ from me for the writing and the audiobook.
