A Lesson in Thorns by Sierra Simone
5.0
adventurous dark hopeful mysterious medium-paced

This book has left me stunned. I read it for a book club, but I was blown away by the way I devoured it! It was so good, so well-written, and so unbelievably spicy. It’s not going to be for everyone - there’s an exploration of k!nk and fluid relationships most aren’t going to be comfortable with along with working through some religious trauma and discussion of religion and some pagan rituals. I am so excited about the series being reprinted by Bloom - I don’t know that I would have picked it up so soon if it hadn’t.
