Angel Eye is the second book in a queer friendly mystery fantasy series by Madeleine Nakamura. Released 3rd June 2025, it's 280 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links.
This is an often disturbing, directly written, and engaging novel. It would not surprise me one bit to find out that the author often has to explain on public appearances and signings why she tortures her characters so unrepentantly in the course of the books. Sensitive readers should be aware going in that there are disturbing themes including psychological manipulation, gaslighting, grooming, and abuse. Additionally, there are scenes of graphic violence and torture which were difficult to read in places.
That being said, the plot is sound and the pacing moves along at a good clip. The characterizations are well rendered and believable for the genre.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
