Disney Villain retelling of Hunchback of Notredame.

Priest (with childhood trauma) becomes psychotic murderer in adulthood who convinces himself it's okay because God wants him to cleanse the cities.
Priest finds hot girl (with childhood trauma) who torments his every waking moment with her hotness and he stalks her to kill her until he realises he can't kill her because he needs her.

Not. My. Vibe.

I’m caught up now to read hexed which is about Ariel. I really enjoyed this one even though I really didn’t watch or know little to nothing about the hunchback of notre dame

This is a retelling of the hunchback of Notre Dame. 

I actually really liked this book. The story kept moving at a great pace. The plot was predictable but that was ok for me because I loved the true forbidden love.

Kayaknya gue masih sregan sama 3 buku awal deh, orang bilang crossed seru drpd yang lain tp kesini makin bosenin. Cuma emang yaa bagus sih.. tapi jujur hooked - scarred - wretched beneran masih ngena dj gue.

Ini okay sih, gue tuh rasanya kayak kepingin jedotin kepalanya si Cade kayak lo jahat walaupun lo priest.. lo tuh gak berhak ngomong gt ke Amaya.

Amaya & Cade

The French priest meets the town outcast.

Honestly I’ve read a books like this before, and this rendition was just ok.

The tension and the taboo side intrigued me. The first 70% was good, then there was a twist and it just kept building. I didn’t think it went with the rest of the story at all.

Not my favorite from the series, but I enjoyed the first half.

- age gap (36/?)
- Taboo

I should have absolutely read the trigger warnings for this book.
