Audiobook Review: Angry God by L.J. Shen
This was a hard one to rate. I had higher expectations for Angry God, but I enjoyed the suspenseful nature of the book.

A bunch of feel-good moments are packed into this book, making A Favor for a Favor a joy to read. I knew Helena Hunting had a potential hit series on her hands after reading A Lie for a Lie. It’s now official because I enjoyed this book even more.
I liked this book, but I loved the audio.
I’ve seen the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice too many times to count and the A&E mini-series as well, but I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never read the novel before now. What strikes me is how true to the book the adaptations are, but they still pale in comparison to Jane Austen’s words in all their glory. The story is witty and romantic and I’m even more desperately in love with the original fab four: Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane, and Bingley. It’s absolute perfection.
Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words is the delightful love child of Tara Sivec and Andi Arndt. Tara has enticed me with her wicked sense of humor in previous books, and Andi is one of my favorite audiobook narrators. Who better, then, to bring us a romantic comedy about a virtuous small town gal and her inadvertent erotica podcast?
Well hot damn if L.J. Shen doesn’t serve up all the feels with Broken Knight. This childhood friends to lovers tale is complex and downright addictive.
The good news is I’m still obsessed with the Cobalt, Hale, and Meadows clan, as well as their 24/7 bodyguards. In preparation for reading Tangled Like Us, I re-read the first three books in the Like Us series, and I fell madly in love with the characters all over again. I started this book on such a high, which made the fact that it didn’t wow me more disappointing.
Beautiful Mistake is an overall enjoyable story.
Even with the focus on a loved one’s death, I was oddly engaged with The Last Letter. Unfortunately, the unrelenting tragedies eventually wore me down.
Some Kind of Perfect is one huge epilogue of the combined Addicted/Calloway Sisters series. I’m talking about 664 pages—or 23 hours and 30 minutes, if you’re listening to the audiobook—packed with events that are destined to make fans fall even more in love with the characters.
I freely admit that I’ve got a huge appetite for single parent romances, and Getting Played is the crème de la crème. Emma Chase is my go-to author for romantic comedy, so I’m not surprised that she delivers once again in a big way.
I was hooked on The Bastard from the first chapter with its fast pace and intense emotions. The story left me eager for more, despite some flaws that would normally have me giving the book a lower rating.
