The Glittering Halo by Liddie CainMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
High Levels of Plot Activity
I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
A LOT happens in this book, especially because it’s not actually that long. In other words there is lots of plot activity and not much subtle building of tension or emotions. However, that doesn’t not negate that it’s a really enjoyable and fun book.
The story starts with a missing girl, apparently abducted by vampires, which brings in a police investigation and an Imperium investigation. The Imperium investigation is by far the most frightening because it places all demonic eyes on Roz’s home town, exactly where they don’t want them to be. They are trying to cover up that Felix has been found, that Roz is a nephilim, that Roz’s angelic parents have been set free and that Meredith is under the spell of Maeve and therefore not doing the bidding of her Demon Queen. With all this to hide, it doesn’t take very much to make it all unravel.
Along with all the heavy plot activity, there is also plenty of hot steamy scenes. There may also be more people added to the relationship or polycule as Mac calls it. Some of those additions are obvious, others are less so and felt like they came out of left field to a certain extent. This is the main problem with having a plot dense book, there is little time to explain important emotional decisions. If you are happy to just stick a pin in it and say, it’s fiction, it’s fun, it’s not important to be emotionally true, then this works. If you like a little bit more explanation for things, you may be a little disappointed.
All in all, this was an enjoyable, escapist read, even if it felt a bit rushed to me.
