Saving Angel

Just ok

I agree a lot like the lux series but for a little more swearing it's an ok story. This audiobook was hard to listen to there were people talking and noises in the background and when chapters just abruptly changed it felt like I missed something.

Good, but it is a rip-off of Lux Series

What disappointed you about Saving Angel?

The story line isn't bad but the whole book is basically a carbon copy of Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. All she did was pretty much change names and appearances. The story line is the same, the character personalities are the same, even the events that happen are mostly the same. If you haven't read the Lux series you would think this book is genius and amazing, but sadly most of us who have read this book have read Lux, and this is just way to close for my comfort. There are FAR to many similarities to be considered a coincidence.

Has Saving Angel turned you off from other books in this genre?

No way! YA is my favorite genre. I am a total YA whore!

What about Tara Millette’s performance did you like?

I loved the tone and pace of her voice, I wish they would have kept her throughout the series. The narrator for the 2nd and 3rd book has more of a whiny and high pitched voice that just isn't my favorite.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Saving Angel?

All of the scenes that were copied from the Lux Series by JLA

Any additional comments?

At first, when i read the similarities to Lux i was irate and refused to continue the series, but after reading further reviews that mentioned her books veer off of the path of the Lux i decided to give it a go. So far, the second book has a few similarities but none like this one does.

Poor Narration and Audio Recording

I work in the VO industry and the audio recording of this book is so, so poor, drove me crazy the entire time. You could hear background noises throughout the entire book, people talking even!! That’s insane! How was that not noticed and cleaned up? Not to mention all of the mouth sounds from the narrator that drove me mad, yuck no one had any green apples or water around for her???
When it comes to the storyline, while I found the book to be mildly entertaining it really wasn’t great. I have no idea why Chase would go from nice to nasty in 3 seconds flat, I mean enough already. Also, if Chase “smirks” one more time...!!! Seriously, all this fool does is smirk at Angel, gross. Not super likeable.

Background noise is very distracting

The book is great, and Tara Millette's reading is amazing. But she must have recorded the book in an area with others talking. There is a man in the background talking, and it's s very distracting. It's not the entire book, but enough that I'll probably avoid books she narrates. I'm going to keep going with this series, and see if she figures out that she can't read with men in the background.

Definitely for teens

The lead Heroin was like a small dog constantly barking, but had nothing to back it up with. I don’t know too many senior boys that would turn down a beautiful girl they liked, constantly throwing themselves at him.

Great listening

I love how audible brings the to book to life. It's almost like you're at the movies and can visualize all the characters.

Narration doesn't match the book

Would you try another book from J.L. Weil and/or Tara Millette?

I like the book

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narration and the book didn't didn't match up!!! What was the narrator reading from ??

Any additional comments?

The last book I read/listened to by this author the same happened, but it was only a few words that didn't match up. This book has whole sentences and paragraphs replaced/changed/ or completely removed. It is extremely irritating and I really wish I hadn't bought the audible narration.

Good

I think it was a strong first in a series book. Looking forward to the next one. Chase will keep me interested.
