5.0

I loved every minute of this book. It is a very slow burn type of romance and I loved the realness of the main character. The story itself was also moving in certain parts and it did a great job at displaying the complexity of humanity—in all its good and bad. The spicy 🌶️ scenes were written well and my only complaint in that regard is that I couldn’t get enough! 😝🖤 Five star read for sure!

Although I occasionally found Sara's dialogue cringy, I still absolutely adored this book. Sara's strength, and Pestilence's steadfast love & longing makes this a wonderful read. It still held up just as well the second time around.

Laura Thalassa also did a wonderful job of portraying all the other types of people: those who forgive endlessly, those who fight cruelly, those who continue to care for others when they know it will kill them too. It was wonderful reading about them, and how mercy might be applied to them or from them.
