A review by deareaderzoe
Angel Unseen by J. Bree

4.0

4.25 stars - As addictive and thrilling as all of J Bree’s books! I really enjoyed this book and think it sets up a new aspect of the Mounts Bay world that we haven’t really ventured into yet. Angel is such a strong and amazing character, I love her, and god was what she achieved impressive. Her and Tomi are explosive and a bit messy to start but there is no denying their attraction, the insane chemistry and the fact they are each other’s endgame. Can’t wait to see them in other books settling into their domesticity and the comfort of a secure relationship.

All the other Unseen characters are fantastic and I’m definitely invested in their stories too; Rue, Speck and even Trink. And the parents too, omg Keely is just the sweetest mom. The dynamics and deep familial bonds are really beautiful, this is another amazing J Bree family unit.

I’m so anxiously desperate for the rest of the Mounts Bay and Unseen universe books. Like Rue & Posey, but also Colt! AND NATE OMG, every snippet we get of him is incredible and I can’t wait for the devil’s book. The Mounts Bay series is written so well that even years later I am still waiting and wishing for the further books. And seeing Lips, Ash, Harley & Blaise in this book was perfection. There are several little things mentioned that make me so excited to see what happens in the years between Lips finishing school and this book (set after the tour). I just love this universe and need more.

However, reading this again slightly older, I think Tomi could have apologised more for the things he said to Angel early on and how he treated her, all because of his skewed view and the history of the curse clouding his judgment but Angel literally did nothing wrong and knew nothing about it. He does a lot of actions that show his change and that he is regretful but I don’t think he actually said sorry? His POV shows his thoughts but I would have liked them vocalised to Angel.

Also I can understand that some things aren’t unresolved as they’ll run into the next books but Tomi spent so much of this book searching for rats and basically nothing happens to further that plot line? Like we learn nothing? And then the book ends on a cliffhanger.

I love J Bree’s worlds and I really liked this book even if there a few little things.
