The Angel Maker by Alex North
3.0

This was a very thrilling and somewhat strange read about a serial killer and the domino fallout from their horrendous reign of ‘making angels’. I thought the writing itself was very good and it brought a lot to the book as far as the action went. The one, and very big, downfall of this book was that there was SO MUCH going on and not really a whole lot of questions getting answered. There were multiple POV’s and yet none of the characters did much storytelling, or if they did, it wasn’t as cohesive as it should have been. I felt as if there were multiple loose ends as I was approaching the ending and unfortunately some questions did not get answered. I am usually one for leaving something to the imagination, but I didn’t even get a starting point from this book to go off of.

Overall, I think this was an okay read. If you like fast paced character swaps and murderabilia, this is probably a good book for you. Thank you Netgalley and Celadon Books for this advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
