Big TW for the disturbing rape scene in the first chapter.
sure it's relevant to explain Anne's PTSD, but be warned.

The pace is quick, aliens and scifi and fantasy intermingled with an interesting love triangle.
This is the first of a trilogy, so there is more to come :)

Another really good read...I am on a roll!!! Kudos to the author for weaving a whole new experience where the world includes androids, cyborgs and vampires! This was my first book by the author and also the first in a series. I cannot wait for the next installment. I'm thinking it will improve, as most series' do and potentially be a five star read.

I'm not even going to try to give a synopses on this book, reading the blurb will give you a pretty good idea of what it is about and then you just need to dive right in for this very well written book. I feel like I'm invested in the characters and like them a bunch (evil bad guy not included lol). Readers of the fantasy/supernatural genre should most definitely like this book, as will some other readers as well.

I would really like to thank the publisher Water Dragon Publishing for an electronic advanced review copy of the book in exchange for my honest review!

Angeles in the Mist is a captivating read. It really had me rooting for the main character who has suffered a lot. She is well-developed and I instantly found myself rooting for her. The science fiction and technology elements along with the fantasy and supernatural parts were expertly woven together. There is something for everyone in this page-turner. A fun read while also a great set-up for a series. I sure do want to read more and can't wait for the next installments of ZTech Chronicles. I give Angeles in the Mist five stars!

While there were parts of Angels in the Mist that I really enjoyed, overall it feels like a pulp-fiction fanfic novel. The characters, while having traumas in their backstories for "character", felt fairly one-dimensional - it wasn't difficult to understand any of their motivations, since they almost always drew on their defining moment. The book also felt oversaturated with sexuality, almost to the level where the Romance tag should be added, without much of the emotional and psychological levels you find in great romance. It felt gratuitous, like it was inserted every few chapters to keep any teenage males reading the story interested. On the other hand, Southwick does have an ear for action; his fight scenes felt real and evocative. Overall, Angels in the Mist was an ok book - there are some aspects that I found interesting, but by the end I was just trying to finish to make sure I didn't miss any majorly redeeming sections.
