Reviews for ‘A Construct of Angels’
Another five star review.
Fantastic!, 3 Nov 2014.
5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT READ, January 4, 2014
This was definitely a page-turner. From the very beginning I was taken on a journey of confusion with some mystery our main character Sara a/k/a Jinx. Sara isn’t the only one who starts out confused. When a mysterious stranger was brought back to life who cries golden tears sets our heroine on a journey she never thought her life would take.
This story was definitely invigorating for me. As the paranormal storyline is starting to become one of my favorite things to read I give this story 5 angels and encourage the author to continue his work!

Another positive review!!
4.0 out of 5 stars A long but fun read! Angels and demons collide!, August 5, 2013
Note: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I quite enjoyed this book. The main character, Sara Finn (a pun on “seraphim”, which I love!), is feisty and determined and a great heroine in general. She has to deal with all sorts of unimaginable horrors over the six days leading up to the possible-Apocalypse, and even though the big bad guy goes so far as to invade her dreams and mess with her head, she stays strong and doesn’t bend to his will (well, not when it matters, anyway!).
I really loved the start of this book — a dark star driving people crazy, zombies rising from their graves, etc. It was a very cool concept, and I felt very grounded in her messed-up world. As the story progressed, I got a bit lost in what was happening; the book is quite long, and I feel the story lost its focus in the middle. The ending, however, was appropriately apocalyptic, and featured some great scenes (dancing zombies!) that effortlessly pulled me back into the story and the explosive finale.
A long read, but a good one if you’re a fan of urban fantasy or the angels vs. demons concept!
A very intriguing book with great characters. I did find that I needed to concentrate and in certain parts had to go back a page or two (shouldn’t read when I’m tired!), but I really enjoyed the story. I would certainly recommend this book and I’m looking forward to the next one.

This book was a total surprise as I have worked along side the author in his day job.
From the very beginning the characters come alive. The words became images in my mind. I found the more I read the more I wanted to know what came next. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from start to finish, and I had to reach the end.
I would recommend this book to anyone who reads.. “Andrew, get the next book finished!!!”, because I want to know where they all go next.

I’ve read all the recent vampire books but this is a refreshing look at the other side of the supernatural. I met the author of this title at the hotel that I work at and decided to take a chance and read the 1st 5 chapers that are free on kindle as a sample. I couldnt put my Iphone down!!! Even if you do not own a kindle you can get the app free on Iphone and Ipad and its dead easy to download the book onto your device through your amazon account. A must read!!

This novel is a refreshingly modern take on the fantasy genre. It fits in with modern living giving it a time (now) and place (York) for readers, making it an easy book to read and relevant to our everyday world. Even when I had put it down I still kept thinking about the characters and rushing to get back to reading it. The main characters were very real and likeable and easily flowed through the story. Hopefully Andrew will continue with his writing as I am wanting to continue reading about Sara’s life. I will put the next book on my wish list so please hurry Andrew.

A Construct of Angels is no doubt a page-turner. From the brginning you are taken on a journey of confusion and mystery alongside of the main character Sara a/k/a Jinx. But she isn’t the only one who starts out confused. A mysterious man brought back to life who cries golden tears sets Sara on a journey she never thought her life would take.
This story was so refreshing for me. There was tons of humor mixed in with paranormal aspects as well as a new take on Angels. I loved how original it was and I was always kept guessing. I don’t want to give away any of the fun stuff, but this book is a must-read! It will leave you wanting more! Keep writing Andrew! Your words are effortless and flow off the page like magic!

A Construct of Angels pulls you in from the first page. I couldn’t put this book down. Author Andrew Toynbee takes you on an epic journey through the daily life of Sara, the main character, who just can’t catch a break. Lots of humor tossed in with a fast paced plot that has you flipping the pages to find out what comes next. The highest of compliments I can give an author is: The words disappeared and the scene played out in my mind. A Construct of Angels did just that for me.
