Angry God
Publisher's Summary
Vaughn Spencer.
They call him an angry god.
To me, he is nothing but a heartless prince.
His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and boutique on Main Street.
All I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him for that time he almost killed me.
Between hooking up with a different girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses, and rules, Vaughn also finds the time to bully little ol' me.
I fight back, tooth and nail, never expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high school.
But here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the outskirts of London.
A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody genius.
They say this place is haunted, and it is.
Carlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets.
Vaughn thinks he can kill the ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s slaying.

A swing and a miss...
I love this author. She is a talented story teller and I'm a big fan of her previous series. I was looking forward to this book and grabbed it as soon as it debuted on audible. It starts out fine....then supposedly turns dark....but it's so not realistic and honestly, just a total turn off. I felt like the story focused more on shock value than creating a shocking story. I figured out the "secret" in 1/2 a second. There were parts I did enjoy and although the previous narrators came back to reprise their roles from earlier books, the one character suddenly had a pronounced Southern accent which wasn't present in the original series. I just feel let down. I will continue to read this author, but I've been seeing all these "this book is beautiful and tragic" reviews that made me so excited. I was dumbfounded while reading it. I felt like I had to be honest.

Not for me
I tried I mean I really tried to like this book, but just unfortunately I couldn’t. I finished the book just because of Jacob Morgan voice.

Difficult listen, not in my comfort zone
LJ Shen is one of my favorite go to authors. I listened to this. Forced myself really, just to see where it would go. This story is one that is not easy to listen to. In the beginning there is a secret, and yes, the secret is exactly what you are afraid it is. Both H/h have deep seated issues (to say the least). If you can handle the perverse dance that leads to their "happily ever after", the story is developed and intricately flushed out. However, I find it hard to believe that every person in this story is a sociopath, but that is the impression I am left with. I will continue to listen or read Ms. Shen. This was the first time I found myself uncomfortable with one of her stories.

Vaughn Spencer
Wow! I never know what to expect from LJ Shen’a books other than greatness. I always find myself trying to figure out what is going to happen before it gets to the point of it happening. I’m never disappointed. I love Vaughn Spenser and all his anger. The cast of narrators are awesome. I’m not sure how many more Fire this series but I’m ready for them and for the re-read starting with Vicious

Such an amazing book and narration!
To say that this was a great book is a gross understatement. It was so beyond great that no word has yet been created to describe its greatness. It has absolutely ALL the feels and I felt them all. We also get Vaughn’s parents’- Vicious’ and Emilia’s POV, which was everything for us to fully understand Vaughn and how in the midst of darkness he was still good. And Vaughn. Oh sweetness. I am getting teary eyed again just thinking about him and Lenora. What an incredible journey they had. The narration for this book was sheer perfection. Oh how I missed Christian Rummel as Vicious!!! Jacob Morgan is incredible too- the emotion he brought to life. Savannah Peachwood and Kylie Stewart were also incredible. I loved everything! Just everything! LJ Shen is a goddess. Truly.

Words cannot express how in love I am with this book!!!
Words cannot express how in love I am with this book. I was a fan of all her sinners of saints and now all saints high collection, but the this one just blew me away. Each one made be believe that it was my favorite, but this one stood out far from the rest. I completed it within 3 days, having a hard time putting it down. The detail, the lyrical words of two broken souls meant to be together, how the story came in full circle was just so exquisite.
My favorite detail about this book, was how much of a role Vicious and Emilia had. Like father like son. I really am going to have one hell of a book hang over after this one. I don’t think she’ll be able to top this one, but I said that before. I hope the series does not end just yet!

The best !!
I love all of L.J Shen's work. Vaughn's and Lenora story was everything I had hoped for and more. Jacob Morgan, Kylie Stewart, Savanna Peachwood and Christian Rummel all did a beautiful job. I pray there are more books in this series!!

Ugh.
I listened for 5 hours. Not straight. I would turn it off every time my eyes rolled. I’m all for writers making something different. This is a repulsive story and not worth finishing. Narration was worth 5 stars. It’s not their fault the story sucks.

Pulling Strings
Talk about ridiculous. Really, work under him? With their history? What kind of gluttons for punishment does this author want to push? And the dad? Loser. Hated this book.
