3.0

this was my first book by this author and it was fine. the title pretty much sums it up: a badass nun seeking for revenge.

the characters weren’t that well developed, but i guess it was to be expected since it’s a short novella. i just thought the nun could’ve had way more character in her.
the bad guys also were sometimes cringe, but i loved seeing them squirm lol.

the writing style was simple and really easy to follow. i was flying through the chapters. i think this book would be perfect for those who’d like to try reading some extreme horror. this doesn’t read like it really, but still is a bit gory.

when it comes to the plot, i loved seeing Eloise take her revenge and didn’t expect *that person* to encourage her to do all that lol. that part left me underwhelmed a bit. i thought this book was gonna be crazier than that, but it was still entertaining! if you want a quick read with a bit of gore, this one would be worth checking out. obviously check the trigger warnings first.
