While I sympathized with his tragic past, I never really grew to care for Vaughn… like, at all. Something awful happened to him as a young boy, which is why he’s the sociopath that he is. Vaughn’s quest for revenge is a mystery to everyone, but it’s fairly predictable to the reader. But then any time Vaughn doled out scraps of his affection and attention, Lenny would soak it up like she’d been living in a desert, despite how horribly he treated her the other 90% of the time. I actually did like whenever Lenny stood up for herself – I NEED these NA heroines in bully romances to stand up to their bullies if I’m going to enjoy the story. Rinse and repeat all this drama, until they finally left for England. Vaughn would be unbelievably cruel to Lenny (and his classmates) but also follow her around like a lost puppy, Lenny would try to act cool and collected but still get bullied by Vaughn and the mean girls. The story moved so slowly I felt bored along with frustrated. Instead, we get a good third of the book set during their final year of high school… and it felt like nothing was happening. Going into AG, I was expecting it to start off around that time. It was just a fucked-up sociopath on a warpath for revenge, and he didn’t care who he had to hurt or use in order to do it.Īt the end of BK, we knew Lenny and Vaughn had gone to England for an art program. I’d been so hyped from the Vaughn/Lenny scenes we got in BK – their chemistry in that book was on fire! Their banter was so much fun! But sadly, I didn’t feel the romance, didn’t BELIEVE in their romance. While PR and BK had all of that, Angry God in comparison fell flat. I genuinely enjoyed the first two books in the All Saints High series, despite not really being into romances set in high school anymore, but I put my trust in LJ Shen knowing she could deliver fantastic writing, characters, angst, and steam. I wish I could say this was everything that I’d hoped Vaughn’s book would be, but it was a disappointment more than anything. Vaughn thinks he can kill the ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s slaying. They say this place is haunted, and it is.Ĭarlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets. I fight back, tooth and nail, never expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high school.īut here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the outskirts of London.Ī fellow intern. His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and boutique on Main Street.Īll I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him for that time he almost killed me.īetween hooking up with a different girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses and rules, Vaughn also finds the time to bully little ole’ me. To me, he is nothing but a heartless prince.
