Lovely Bad Things by Trisha Wolfe

5.0

---

“It's the lovely bad things that steal into our thoughts in the middle of the night and tempt us across the line between good and evil. Those torturously beautiful sins that provoke our deepest, most deviant desires. It feeds us in the dark, stoking a frail flame into an inferno we can no longer resist. She is my flame.
And I am all but pleading for my muse to burn me
alive.”

I don’t know if I’ve ever read a book where I had no idea what half the things I was reading meant but I couldn’t stop reading because I was so intrigued by the plot and the characters. I’ve also never felt so dumb while reading. This author has an amazing amount of knowledge about philosophy and although I understood none of it I still kept going.

The authors writing is absolutely beautiful, I felt everything the characters felt. The characters depth was so good, sooooo well written and their behaviors made perfect sense. The MC’s remind me of Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker from the show Lucifer.

I did call the plot twist early on but I don’t think it was super obvious so I was still curious to see if I was right.

This was a lot lighter on the spice than I was expecting (not complaining, just stating) and heavier on the mystery plot. So if you’re looking for a smutty read this isn’t it.

If you’re looking for a read where the MC’s have heavy tension/chemistry and the plot keeps you guessing then read this!
