Book of Orlando by Laura Lascarso
3.0
3.5 Stars
So that ending just fucked me up. I already saw a spoiler so I knew what was coming but I still read the book and was pretending the whole time that I never saw no spoiler. Whoever said ignorance is bliss is absolutely right.
This is a PNR between a Nephilim and a human. Not the best I've read but I have a soft spot for books that are angel-related.
The world-building is pretty shaky. Most humans have no idea angels and demons are real and can possess their bodies, but Orlando (the human mc) pretty much announces to everybody that he has a demon boyfriend. Most people were like okay Orlando you do you, but I thought he could've been more lowkey about their relationship.
Orlando is 18 for most of the book, and he acts exactly how you'd expect someone his age to act. In his own words: "I’m spiteful, jealous, and possessive". Straight up he was a brat and made the worst decisions. But surprise surprise, he also really grew on me. This whole book I just wanted him to be safe and loved.
Henri (pronounced on-ree) is our 2k yr old nephilim. In the words of Orlando's friend: "Talk about a shriveled dick. That bitch be looking like a California raisin." Sorry but I died laughing reading that.
And then Henri's reaction: "I did not care for Tyrell speaking about my hypothetical genitals in such a derogatory manner". Bruh
