    Evil Angela is a story that belongs on the big screen with legends like John Wick, The Matrix, Rampage, Wanted and Salt. It’s powerful, fast paced, gripping, psychologically clever and written by a skilled mind and hand. Stones representation of three very unique and strong female characters is admirable. He has managed to portray exceptional personalities that are all believable and exciting.
    The story is unpredictable, holding the reader hostage on the edge of jarring situations. As the characters struggle against norms, blazing their own trails, abiding by some rules and completely obliterating others, you connect with each one of them on a personal level, feeling what they feel. The story is solid and well thought out. The quality of writing is above average. It reads easy and flows well.
    Stone has managed to capture the essence of true female strength and balanced it with sincere vulnerability. His use of dialogue is great, and it reads well, each conversation giving greater insight into the characters hearts and minds.
    I remained on a tight rope in this story, watching with devilish curiosity from my rickety platform, to see what would happen next. I could not put it down and nailed it in three days. I was very pleased to discover that there was a second book. The characters inspired me on a personal level which shows how well tuned Stone is to the female psyche.
    The story is sexy, but never sleazy. Stone has mastered the art of innuendos and inference, leaving the really hardcore stuff to the readers own imagination. I wished for deeper telling in a few parts, but I soon realized the power in the inferred message was far more profound and riveting. Sometimes it’s more appealing when less is said, and Stone has made this an artform. The pictures come in full color and with surround sound without the need for words.
    Stone is talented and bright. His knowledge of military terms and activities is impressive, and he manages to weave a realistic story while stretching the readers imagination just a little, just enough to disbelieve what we’ve been taught and consider that more is impossible.
    This story challenges beliefs and norms, it instigates, excites and ignites thoughts that were never there before. I learned from this book, more than I bargained for. I simply LOVED IT.

    She’s brilliant. She’s a professor of toxicology. And she’s deadly.

    Enter Evangelina, who is recruited by some covert government organization. The problem is, they find that Angelina cannot be controlled, especially after she discovers what they’ve done to her to get her on board.

    If you enjoy action-packed adventure and independent players, you’ll love this story. JA Stone spins a delightful web that draws the reader in.
    He presents his story with both energy and a compelling character. Because of his skill in these areas, I wanted to give him five stars.

    However, his book has some issues. Occasionally he uses the wrong word. “She waived like a dolt” should be “waved.” A golden retriever is not capitalized, and is not a Labrador retriever. His story is filled with run-on sentences. He seems to have a problem using “he said, she said,” trying to use statements to fill in the gap. For example: “Goodbye,” he remained silent. In the first place, the fact that he said something is not remaining silent. The real problem is that “He remained silent.” is another sentence entirely. It has nothing to do with “Goodbye.” In addition, there is comma misusage, and POV (point of view) problems. Eveangelina cannot know if her eyes are melancholy. She can feel melancholy and wonder if her eyes reflect that, but she can’t see her own eyes unless she looks in a mirror. Then there’s the problem of Stone’s misunderstanding of what a sociopath is. If Evangelina is a sociopath, she is too self-centered to feel love. She can, however, love how someone makes her feel, and in that way believe it’s love. But Evangelina is not a psychopath, which is another animal entirely.

    I realize that this sounds like Stone wrote a horrible book. Not true! Even as an amateur, he writes a terrific tale, one that wants me reading the next one in this series. Once he masters these issues, he has the potential of becoming a great, not just good, author. Go for it, JA! You have incredible potential.

    Angelina is a brilliant, beautiful scientist with an impressive memory and martial arts skills. Naturally, she’s recruited as an assassin. Her ability to kill is useful, until she crosses a line. “Evil Angelina” has an excellent cast of characters, including three intriguing women. This fast-paced story has hidden worlds within worlds and abundant plot twists. I especially enjoyed the ancient, magical society with deadly modern conflicts. Magic is “subtle manipulations of the electromagnetic spectrum, the microcosm, and even dark matter itself.” Details make the story believable and compelling, while the ending leaves you wanting more. Happily, a sequel awaits.

    I have mixed feelings about this book. Parts of it I really like. A few parts were confusing. Its almost like two different stories blended together. On the whole I enjoyed it.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019
    This AWOL Series is red-hot action Spy Thriller stuff... OK, mix in some M Jackson Thriller with it. I couldn't stop after the first, so this review is for both. You know how romance books are so careful with your sensitive, powerful emotions? This takes a stick of dynamite to all that. It’s raw, unstoppable action in ways that surprise you. Did I mention this author is brilliant? Strong women, action heroes, dominate the silver screen in your mind. Yes, the words fade out and you’re just watching, hearing and feeling it. I can’t wait for the third book. Keep it up, JA Stone! In this world of hype, any author who wins an award or is on any top sellers list better try twice as hard to impress me. Alert the tabloids, the accolades are deserved! This stuff keeps you on your toes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa! A character named Evil Angela, a blurb introducing the character as psychopath?
    Reviewed in Germany on September 16, 2021
    I had this book sitting on my virtual bookshelf for a while, unsure if I should really pick it up and read it, out of fear it would compromise my friendship with the author. Yes, we both wrote a chapter in the same book collaboration, and we had a few nice chats. We got along well, so, would I be willing to put a budding friendship on the line by reading his book, possibly giving it a bad review because I didn't like it?

    I finally picked it up, and was rewarded with not just one book, but it rather felt like three books in one, and I loved them all.

    Expecting a cold-blooded, psychopathic killer, Dr. Evangelina Smith turned out to be all that and so much more. I fell in love with the girl, slipping into the story and her skin as easy as if I had written it myself. I felt the agony, the resulting numbness, the stoic determination that followed, the need to hold onto a new purpose, slowly getting back to life, learning to love again, until it all got shattered once more by betrayal. And that part is just the beginning!

    An absolutely satisfying read that will keep you hooked until you turned the last page, craving for more. The astounding storyline has earned five Stars for sure!

    Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2019
    The story is really engaging. I bought it this morning, and finished it in the early evening. I'll probably start book 2 tonight.

    The story seems like it was going to be a Jason Bourne kinda spy thriller, but then bam! urban fantasy. Love that turn. Characters, pacing, plot, all solid and enjoyable.

    Reviewed in Australia on April 2, 2019
    Wow, I haven't had so much fun reading a book for some time. Compelling characters, fast-paced action that keeps you turning the pages, this is the type of story that would draw crowds to the cinema. Can't wait to read the second AWOL book.
