The Thot’s Plot (a segment of me summarizing the plot while high (also I literally forget the plot of a book as soon as I finish it (also I’m listening to Coffee by Chappell Roan & low key crying (It’s one of my fave songs ever, you should listen to it if you wanna get in your bag)))):
So we have our MMC - Saint who has been SPOOKED (rightfully so, I’d be scared shitless if I were in his position) by stalkers and threats from his ex-cult (who happen to be religious af… I’m not saying the Bible is at fault but I’m also not saying it’s not not at fault). My boy just wants to live his gay ass life in PEACE. My poor baby only found happiness and relief (both emotionally and sexually) through sexy dreams where he was chased by a hot demon in a forest and then got railed up against a tree. Sounds like a very relaxing dream I’d like to have. I’m not asking a sexy demon to enter my dreams and throw me around like a potato sack but I’m also not not asking a sexy demon to enter my dreams and throw me around like a potato sack. Anyway, little does my bb boy know that the demon of his dreams is real af. Said demon is a mister Knight/Cunning j chilling in Hell and unhappy af except when he gets to rail in dreamland.  
This is where I’d put spoilers but I’m not doing that. I’m just gonna say that Saint finds himself in need of protection and it’s a job only a demon can do. Also, there’s like a ton of f*cking in the book. A great bonus! Oh Jesus a one direction song just came on so I’m emo now and that’s all I got bye. I had to skip and True Blue by boygenius came on so I’m done. 

The Thot’s Thoughts:
Wooo doggies that was a scrumptious book. It had so much I love: lots of smut, a protective love interest, diversity, cults, and Hell. A girl can’t ask for much more tbh. Also, the book was only like 220 pages which is the perfect length for my attention deficient brain ( I don’t think I spelled that right). The book was able to be fun, sexy, romantic, deep, and meaningful while not being messy. Also, I could really feel that buildup of the relationship between Saint and Knight. Also like starting and ending a book with s3x is a great idea, authors take notes!!! I had a big hard relate to religious trauma and was appreciative of the terms like “deprogramming” and “rewiring” for that journey from departing a strict religion. 
Just super good all around. My Eddie is hitting me so hard rn that I can’t write more but JUST READ IT. IT’S SO CUTE AND GOOD AND SEXY. UGHHHH Viano Oniomoh, you just gained a devoted fan🫡💜
