My Review
When Angels Fear is one of those books that starts off intriguing, keeping you invested, and then BAM! It takes a turn and becomes something a lot darker and crazier than expected.
I knew, going into this book, that it would be interesting and have some strange goings-on happening throughout, but I definitely was not ready for the grim, almost hopeless feeling the story took on after a bit. It's a book that will have you saying, "What else could these characters suffer through next?" And then... well, I won't spoil anything, but it gets a little bleak.
I did enjoy the story. It was well-paced and kept me engaged throughout. I thought the characters were all nicely done, and I could relate to Emma in some ways myself.
I do think my favorite character was the doctor, Robbie Mason.
There is one point where a couple of the characters do/say something, and for whatever reason, I hadn't put two and two together, so that "twist" kind of hit me and I was like, "Oh my God! Why didn't I realize that sooner?"
And that ending? I have to admit the last sentence in the book made me laugh. So at least there was a small touch of humor there to lighten things up right at the very end.
Overall, I think When Angels Fear is a solid supernatural thriller that will keep readers on their toes. It's definitely tense and nerve-wracking at times, but it's well worth the read.
4.5 stars!
