I read this out of sheer curiosity with no idea what this type of novel would be like, and geez louise it was a RIDE. Honestly, I don't even know what to rate it because it was so insane. So so so many traumatic events and scandals happening in this congregation that it's unreal.
I'm still screaming!!!! This book was perfect>>>>>>>>> I've been craving a dark taboo for a while and I'm so glad I picked this up!! The spice was just

Horrible. I kept going for the jokes and that book reeks of rape. The ml does the exact same thing as Eden abusers but because he is hot and sexy it's okay. Ew. Also it's horribly written. Litteraly everything is said in the first 50 pages, every revelation, evey possible discussion. It is just bad, very bad.

this was my first dark romance ever…are they all this ABSURD???
I'm a bit conflicted here. I loved the concept of this book, but the execution....wasn't great. I ended up DNFing at like 72%. The inconsistencies really pulled me out of the story. Eden taking of her stockings (with her shoes still on mind you) then 2 paragraphs later taking them off again? And the description of "the sound of metal on metal" when she's using a rock on a car. I don't know, just felt off. Simple mistakes and repetitions that should have been caught by a cursory read through. Also, the brief bondage felt like a throw away trope. Why does a priest who has committed to God and claimed to never dabble with women since his committment, have a bondage closet? That up until 72% was used for like 3 pages. Felt like a desperate attempt at some Shades of Grey.
Anywho! Roman and his filthy mouth kept this at 3 stars lol.
Edit: I do love having pictures in between some chapters but they don't match the characters at times. No scars, varying tattoos, a tank top/bra in the bathtub.
