Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 (She's fucking hot)

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I think that's how you start these things. But, oh boy, I enjoyed doing it.

This was a wild ride that was filled with some of the darkest and dirtiest stuff that I have quite probably ever read. There were situations where I just absorbed it through my eyes and just had to remind myself, this is a book...And then there were situations where I was extremely turned on by what I was reading. All I know is that if ANYTHING basically in this book happened in real life those people should all be locked up in prison or in psychiatric facilities.

Quite frankly, everybody in this book needs a shit tonne of therapy because just, WOW. This book is about a girl, Briony that gets "saved", but not in the typical religious sense of her finding God... No, She is saved from God by a new God who is tattooed, obsessed with her and pierced in his nether region. His name is Areo and he also happens to be a murderer and her stalker.

It was quite an interesting take on how her being "saved" and coming into herself meant a lot of cumming and learning who she was by going against everything she grew up to believe. My one criticism of the book and why it is not rated higher is the conflict felt weak. Basically, Briony is this fantastic woman who is shooting the lights out in her community. She's the first woman who is given this prestigious role that's always being given to men and some people don't appreciate that. So these people are basically trying to kill her. I don't really understand why her having this position equates to hiring somebody to murder her and why everybody is going to such excessive lengths to kill her. A lot of that is just brushed past and the reader is just supposed to accept that this is fact. It just felt like the consequences of the conflict weren't strong enough to match.

There were definitely parts of this that I was like, yep, this is definitely a book because
1. She's able to take an eight-inch dick up her ass with nothing but cum and saliva as lube
2. She was able to take that said dick up all the way the "first time"
3. Our dear darling Areo is able to go again IMMEDIATELY after reaching completion a few seconds prior.

Yeah. That shit only happens in books and movies.

Um, I also found it a little bit strange that our very innocent, virginal female main character went so extreme so quickly after her sexual awakening and was doing stuff that, some people only dream of.

If like me trigger warnings are tropes you are in for a wild ride... Here are some of the aspects I made note of:
▶ Stalker Romance
▶ Virgin FMC
▶ Degradation
▶ Praise
▶ Blood play
▶ Knife play
▶ Hand necklaces
▶ "I am your god" now
▶ Primal play
▶ CNC
▶ Confession sex (like in a confessional booth)
▶ BDSM
▶ Anal
▶ Voyeurism

AND my NEW FAVOURITE ACRONYM: BAGGASOMT!!!

Fun Fact: The Term "Against the wall" was used 35 times in some shape or form in this book.
