Summer Of My Secret Angel

Summer of my Secret Angel is a Young Adult Paranormal Romance book. For the most part, it is suitable for young adults – although I have to put a “Parental Guidance” warning on it because there are some scenes that parents might feel are unsuitable for younger young adults.

Summer of my Secret Angel in itself was an interesting book – not only for what I found between it’s pages but also because of what I learned while I was researching this page. Before I get into the review, you might be interested to know that Summer of my Secret Angel has also previously been published as Loving Your Lies and Her Game, His Rules.

The book is set in modern day London to start with, then progresses to France. It follows the story of a child in a children’s home who just happens to be a petty thief after associating herself with the wrong people. After being caught stealing once too often, she is sent to court and the judge sentences her to go and spend a few months living with her mother and her family in France. A mother that she has no intention of getting to know. Is it possible to turn things around or have all the bridges been burned?

One thing I didn't like was that the story is a little slow to build up to the main part of the plot – and in that build-up, the author inadvertently gives away where she is heading with the book. That spoiled my enjoyment of the book a little.

With that said, the book is worth taking the time to read for the Angel scenes that come later on in the book, which, for me, redeemed the act of giving away the plot so early on in the book.
