This book was wildddddd, a priest and a stripper?? I was shocked. While listening I did some double takes I swear the tension had me in a chokehold. 

I did not expect the plot twist in chapter 45 and also the reaction was out of the blue. I love how there are strong character developments in this book. 

Overall the plot was well written, but sometimes it was too cringe tbh, just because its between two different worlds that meet and clash.

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.

This one was a little gory for me personally. Also, I’m sorry but both of these main characters are off their rockers. It’s just a bit too fucked up IMHO. 

DARK Romance, Stalking, 3 1/2 🔥

This was a bit more graphic than i expected, but i didn't mind. I think this was the best way to create a retelling, where we weren't supposed hate Claude Frollo.
