I truly don’t know if I’ve ever read a more deranged, morally black MMC until Aero. He belongs behind bars or in a padded room for sure. But somehow… I love him anyway ?!? I need serious therapy I think 🙂‍↕️ actually scratch that— I know I do. The things that this made me feel are alarming. I never expect to love the masked st*lker romance trope as much as I do, and the cheating trope OMFG who am I lately, because that atttttttte.

The way he manipulates people and orchestrates scenarios in order to transform and hone Briony into the weapon that will reap her own vengeance without her even being aware until the end?! HOT AND PSYCHOTIC AND I LOVED IT 🥰

there were moments I wanted to give both of them a hug. They’ve both been hurt and tossed aside by their church and community, looked at as wrong and something to tolerate (until it no longer serves them). And watching them find power in each other’s sick and twisted form of love was somehow as beautiful as it was messed up.

This would’ve been perfect for me if the conflict was squeezed into the last 25% percent. I have no issues with how it played out, but frankly I wanted more of the actual revenge 😏 give me more of Aero and his Briony terrorizing people hahaha. But otherwise a fantastic dark romance & definitely not my last Jescie Hall book.
