A review by debb1ereadsbooks1
I Am God's Dagger by K.A. Merikan
5.0
Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This book comes with the warning: Not for the faint hearted. I strongly suggest you heed it!
Because this book is dark and deadly. It's violent and vicious. It's bloody and bloody amazing and I loved it!
I can't say the usual gushing lovey dovey things about this book, because while there IS love here, it's a kinda bookdrop to what's going on in Gabriel's life and finding out what happened when he had his " psychotic episode in his childhood" I put in in inverted commas, for two reasons: I took the wording directly off the blurb. And because, well, you'll see why when you read it.
I loved that Gabriel was, at first, not believing his angel Abaddon was real, but lots of little clues made him put it all together. Loved that Abaddon was so very NOT who is was at first portrayed to be. I have to admit, til all was revealed, I really did not see this coming out good for Gabriel, I really didn't. But when Abaddon, as well as Gabriel, discover the truth? I wasn't sure who I felt more for!
While Abaddon is not perfect, for he does some damage here (not to Gabriel, never to him!), he IS perfect for Gabriel. And Gabriel can see that Abaddon is the product of his upbringing, just as he is.
LIke I said, not for the faint hearted and to be honest, I was in two minds when I requested this book. I figured it will be really bad for me, or really rather amazing and I am so very glad I read it cos it absolutely was the latter.
Possibe trigger themes: opposites attract, hurt/comfort, size difference, angst, childhood trauma and abuse, mental health, self-harm, deception, mindf*ck, occult, gaslighting, revenge, torture, blasphemy, orphanage, cults (taken off the blurb)
5 dark and oh so deadly stars
