"Everyone dies. So why not get it over with?"
Candy works at a brothel built upon the ashes of a church. Many protestors, including Father Patrick, frequent the place with their ramblings. Nobody believes the priest about an apocalypse coming to wash away the sinners. Nobody but Candy as she has had her own experiences of what lurks in the basement.
Sodergren killed it again with another outrageous story filled with sex and violence. It was gory and graphic and I loved every minute of it!
The characters were awesome. I loved following our kickass protagonist Candy, and her fellow sex workers, getting brief insights into their lives on how they came to work at the brothel. And how often do you read about a psycho priest killing sinners in the name of god?! That shit was wild ๐
There were supernatural forces at hand - a wooden Jesus Christ coming to life and zombie like creatures. Crazy, right?? This book was bloody and fun with dark humour sprinkled throughout. Definitely made it into my top 10 books of the year ๐๐พ
