Wow! A great ending to such series! I loved the ending. I loved the story especially second part of it! The ending was beautiful light and very happy! Shen just plowed through with new information, angles and facts and she never quite gave up until the story was finished.
In this book I loved that descriptions they were fun.
I didn’t expect a lot from Vaugh, as I didn’t LOVE Vicious in his own sorry and I didn’t LOVE Lunas story but i just couldn’t stop reading it until it’s over💖. Shen jus...Wow!

I didn’t expect a lot from Vaugh, as I didn’t LOVE Vicious in his own sorry and I didn’t LOVE Lunas story but i just couldn’t stop reading it until it’s over💖. Shen just keeps dishing out new angles, new info, new turns. She is so so talented and so so well-read, so good with her words, her thoughts, the new twists in the story, her mixing up so many different things( going vampire diaries traveling into Greek, Egyptian and English history) into this thorny sweet story. I really enjoyed it. This whole series is a little rough around the edges, often very controversial but some stories were just absolutely breathtaking. I liked parents’ stories more than the kids. However, turns out even spoiled kids are not so spoiled.
I liked Vic and Emilia more and more as the books unravel, yet I didn’t like him/her in vicious that much ….I loved Dean and Rosie till the very last breath. She killed me. I cried and cried.
I love how Shen checks if she really got you distracted and involved/ invested in the story - like when she says Vicious was eating and only after you realize ( that’s right he doesn’t eat socially) when Melody corrects Jamie’s “ your” - I read it twice in two different places without realizing the mistake until she actually pointed it out.One thing I imagined differently ….. I felt the sculpture was going to be Len’s mom hugging her, the two of them entwined and captured forever. It is very selfless. It is act of giving and losing her mom has not been atoned for in any way. I felt that he was doing internship to be closer to her( as she wouldn’t have picked him as her assistant) and her dad wanted to immortalize his late wife. It made me think of a story “the last leaf” where a drunk artist kept saying he was going to make a masterpiece to his dying neighbor. The neighbor said she would die when the last leaf falls from the tree out her window. He drew the tree on a stormy night and out it to cover her window. He died from cold doing that, but she survived never losing hope watching that last leaf that never fell.
Love everything though about it. Loved the ending, loved how Shen laces the ending with light humor.
I loved the parents stories more and more as they get older. The make parenting look cool, not easy not perfect but possible.
Super talented artist and her writing is so easy to read, her stories are so kind and full of just the right things - she makes the world feel right, bright and happy. I wonder if she majored in literature or psychology …. And she created a small world of her own- with a talented lawyer, the Fixer, the artists, the singer….. I’m a little sad, because I finished all of her books at this point.
It feels like Pope’s story she may be entertaining in her mind not completely sold in the idea…

I adore messed up characters. You know, the ones who are gritty, rude, and vulgar? I love them because there’s always a reason as to why they are the way that they are, a backstory that makes me believe in them, root for them, and cry for them. A character so on the outskirts of society that no one knows how to deal with them or knows what to think of them. They’re usually popular, for all the wrong reasons. See, people are attracted to the unknown, the mysterious, the individuals who are so ...
I adore messed up characters. You know, the ones who are gritty, rude, and vulgar? I love them because there’s always a reason as to why they are the way that they are, a backstory that makes me believe in them, root for them, and cry for them. A character so on the outskirts of society that no one knows how to deal with them or knows what to think of them. They’re usually popular, for all the wrong reasons. See, people are attracted to the unknown, the mysterious, the individuals who are so screwed up that they becoming intriguing. They’re attracted to people like Vaughn Spencer and they don’t know why.
Obviously, not everybody is going to like him. He’s very cruel, but underneath he’s actually just a misunderstood person with a gentle heart, believe it or not. I love getting to the bottom of characters and seeing what they’re really made of and why they act the way that they do. That’s exactly why I love LJ Shen’s Sinners of Saints and All Saints High books: they all feature characters that are screwed up in one way or another.
I also adore Lenora. She doesn’t take crap from anybody. She stands up for herself despite all the bullying that is pushed her way, and she doesn’t let other people ruin her and her reputation. She always gives it back as good as she gets it, and I find that super admirable. She’s feisty but sweet at the same time. She’s dedicated, yet fierce. I love how she isn’t a carbon copy of Poppy. They may be sisters, but they’re complete opposites.
Lenora isn’t your typical girl in a romance novel. She’s bold, she’s direct, but she’s also a person with a gentle soul and a kind heart. She’s extremely loyal, even when other people don’t deserve her loyalty. Sometimes when I’m reading a book, I don’t really connect with the female character at all. I mean, most times I do, but sometimes it’s just hard to like them because of the way that they act or the things that they say. Some are too soft for my taste. I don’t want to read about a meek girl who refuses to stand up for herself. I want to be inspired by a strong girl who believes in herself despite all of the awful things that the world has thrown at her. Someone who doesn’t care what other people think. Someone who has had a rough life but makes the best out of it anyways. Lenora is that girl. She’s clever, smart, understanding and a beautiful person overall. She gives Vaughn a chance despite the fact that she really has no reason to do so.
Now let me get to the romance. It’s superrrr hot, but not in a typical romantic nature. No, the romance between Lenora and Vaughn is, well, different. I don’t think everybody will understand it, but that’s what makes it so special. Lenora and Vaughn start from a place of vulnerability, not one of trust. Their first encounter effects all of their future ones, for the best and worst reasons.
Angry God is the ultimate enemies to lovers story. I’ve read so many good enemies to lovers novels, but this one? This one outranks all of them. The way that Shen so flawlessly executes hatred turning in a passion and love…I just can’t even describe it. It’s magical, but still harsh harsh, unlike other stories that I’ve read. When Vaughn and Lenora get together, it’s a crazy, intense storm of emotions. Their love is passionate, but I’m not really talking about a typical kind of passion. It’s a passion fueled by hatred at first and then by respect for the other, despite the bad things that both of them do to each other. This isn’t a fluffy, easy-going tale of the prince and the princess getting together. No. It’s raw, it’s carnal, and it’s desperate at times. But that’s exactly why I love it.
It’s not necessary to have read the rest of the All Saints High books or the Sinners of Saints novels before reading Angry God, but I do think that it would help provide some context to the story and characters. Again, not necessary, but those books are SO good, so I’d recommend just reading them anyways because why the heck not. If you like Angry God, you’ll love her other books, guaranteed.
Oh, and lastly, I just have to say that I admire Vaughn’s parents so much. I loved them in “Vicious,” but I have an even greater respect for them now that I’ve seen just how far they will go to protect their messed up son. It’s truly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
Clearly, I enjoyed this book. Well, isn’t that the understatement of the century? I devoured this book. Angry God is officially one of my new favorite books. Whew. I won’t ever forget it.
Just a heads up that’s there is abuse mentioned in this book. It’s not the first time that Shen has written a book with a character that has been abused. If you’ve read her book Bane, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Wow. This book. I devoured it- couldn’t get enough. Vaughn Spencer is the son of Baron “Viscious” Spencer. He is soooo like his dad in so many ways but also has the artistic talent and flair of his mum Emilia. I loved how unique a character he was, how we unpacked all his layers and how both him and Lenora were both unique artists. They HATED each other but deep down they knew they were absolutely perfect for each other
This story has so many twists and turns and I couldn’t put it down. I loved both main characters, they were complex, strong and a perfect match. This is the last book in the all saints high series, the second generation series to sinners of saint and the chokehold these series has on me!! I honestly couldn’t rank these books I loved them all and they are all so unique and different. I’m so sad to be leaving this series but they go down in one of my top series ever and I will definitely reread
