BennettBookworm Ahhhhh yay you will love it!!! 5d
Faranae Just a heads up that Angels Before Man isn't romance. It has a queer love story in it, but it does not follow the genre rules of romance, so readers expecting romance might be disappointed. 😅 5d

Mehso-so

This book wasn't awful, but it definitely has me questioning why Stephen King blurbed it, "scared the hell out of me, and I'm pretty hard to scare." I was hoping for that same feeling, but all I got out of this was a dysfunctional family with a mentally ill teen! There are questions left unanswered due to a possible possession, but I will say the ending with Marjories' last "game" made this go from a 2 star to a 3 star. She's a sneaky one.

This book was terrible.
*Horrible things are happening throughout the book*
MC: I must be dreaming this all up.....
And then me:(rolling my eyes)
Repeat!

This story was all over the place, and I just felt like nothing was really happening even though there would be climatic parts. Eventually, everything just fell flat and made no sense. Even though i highly anticipated this read, I would not recommend this book.

LiteraryinPA Oof, sounds like you took one for the team. 9mo

KateReadsYA This book made me feel sad at times for all that Ying had to endure. There was so much hurt, betrayal, and challenges she had to overcome. I can see why, at the end, she chose herself. 9mo
brittanyreads Great questions! I'm sad I had to miss out on this one! 9mo
KateReadsYA @brittanyreads It was really good. I wish you could have read it with us. :) Are you reading the spellshop with us next month? 9mo

BooksNBowls I totally felt for Ying throughout the entire book. I could relate to her yearning for justice for her dad, and thought it was the driving force of the entire novel. Her dad‘s voice in her ear, giving her advice and guiding her along the way it seemed. I thought that was really emotional and nice. The ending was the best. It felt appropriate to Ying‘s journey, even if it might not be the ending everyone wanted or pictured. 9mo
Meshell1313 I really enjoyed this one! I liked t trying to keep guessing and figuring out if ye Yang was going to be a hero or a villain! I also loved the ending- it felt like it could have been a standalone but excited that it is actually a series. 9mo

KateReadsYA When Ying killed the Emporer, I was shook. I knew she had it in her to take her revenge, but for her to follow through with it definitely left me with my mouth hanging open. 9mo
BooksNBowls I think the ending will be the most memorable scene for me! I loved it and found it really empowering. I‘m happy with Ying‘s decision. And it made me really excited for the sequel. 9mo
Meshell1313 I loved learning who the jade pendant belonged to!!!! 😉 9mo
