SONNY SANTORINI, I GLADLY OFFER YOU MY SOUL!!!!!! omfg.
this gothic, dark & depraved why choose just scratched a deep itch in my brain. I loved every second of it & literally was screaming for more. the notre dame inspiration was so well done imo, and while I can see why people could become easily frustrated with the FMC’s naivety and overt innocence, I really enjoyed the contrast she provides to our band of heathens with pitch black morals. the dystopian and overbearingly religious world that the author paints is one filled with fear and anger that leaves most of humanity with little hope for happiness. Romina, Sonny, Felix and Corvin are complementary shades of sick and twisted, but still have such deep wells of emotion hidden away that they slowly learn to reveal and share. they viciously tear at one another’s seems, only to stitch themselves back into the fabric of each other’s being. living, loving, lusting after their dynamic!!! I only wished for more group love but tbh with two of the MMC’s being twins, I get it lol. I’ll take the precious and HOTTTTT moments we’re given and hold my complaints. I also loved the subtle demonic and paranormal elements woven into this story. it added such a sinister layer to this already intense story & truthfully, it only made me love those three sick alphahole’s even more knowing they were commanding darkness and summoning things from the shadows!
