"Talk to the mouse again and I'll do alot worse to your stupid face."

This one is my favorite quote from the book! I don't know why but when I read their whole childhood together and how Bells was miserable and bullied... I just wanna hug her! And turn out i am not the only one feeling like this. Roman also feels the same. It feels refreshing and warm to see him defended her and care for her, probably not in the best way someone could save another person, but Roman was abused his whole life too, what else can he do?

I just like it when the male main character is devoted to the female main character to the point where it feels borderline religious. Roman always described Bells as his somewhat God, and he described himself as this... sinner, a devilish and worst kind where hell would not stop them from worshipping the God. Probably hence the tittle, right? Anyway, the author also done a good job writing this dark book and characters, I love the pace and to be honest, as a slow burn girly, i feel satisfied enough to read this marvelous story. Looking for another one like this sooner tho, haha.

Loves,
Alc.
