I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would! It had a lot of those “darkly enjoyable” moments, and I am a sucker for priests.

Unfortunately, the one thing to make it not a 4 or a 5, is the way Amaya becomes a killer at the end. I just don’t think that tracked with her character, yet the writing tries to tell us it’s in her blood. But aside from killing/hurting for her brother, there’s no reason she’d continue to murder, in my opinion. So that little bit knocked the whole book down a little, for me.

THE ENDING. especially the extended epilogue. 

SPOILERS
the trauma of religion is so real. The sex work is so real. The abusive relationships are so real. The ableism is so real. The ending made me choke up a little.
