This dubious delight is the short story originally featured in the Twisted Sacrament anthology.
"Immaculate" formally titled "she came before God" is the warped wonder straight from the unnatural imaginings of one of my most favourite authors.
As the story unfolded I watched with an almost Awe-filled sense of such morbid curiosity.
Lulled at first into a misplaced sense of complicity it quickly became apparent that things here were not what they seemed and so very far from anyone's norm.
and as the story progressed: we were very swiftly pulled down into the depths of a debased depravity: one that I could have scarcely imagined with an almost cavalier debauchery.
This is abominable and disquieting and everything foul, unspeakable and ugly but I found myself unable to look away: glued with an almost horrified amazement to the unfolding Atrocity.
Bravo to the author I am suitably distressed and disgusted with this twisted tale.
I don't know whether to applaud or turn right around and flee far far away.
This definitely does what it says on the tin: She Came before God is a holy horror of hypocrisy and there is nothing devout or devoted between these pages.
This is pure non-con: forewarned is forearmed and I know I have said this before but please know your own limits.
I do like to have my boundaries stretched and can definitely say in this instant they were taut with tension.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of This Immaculate.

This is disgusting and the fact that made me feel sick and grimace says a lot, it dealt with the pope and the main idea is that one Italian family has a child usually a daughter HEAVY into religion she's pure and literally untouched of any sins etc. until she goes to the pope aka her godfather which RAPES her as a ritual TILL HE DIES in order to bring the coming of Christ through the sexual act.
FUCKING , DISGUSTING I already have a problem with religion and how sick that can be and this just clicked every button, once again Addison Cain did her thing 5 stars cause honestly the book did exactly as it should, and absolutely disgusted me

Good. Lord! This was twistedness on a whole new level. Cain always tops herself. This story was extra twisted because I could almost imagine this happening when the story was set. Agnese went through hell, had her faith tested by men who should have been protecting her. Even her family saw her as a commodity. But she was still a strong character!
Over all I enjoyed this story even though it was super dark. If you are easily offended, this is not the book for you. But if you do!? READ THIS. Right now!

This dark and twisted tale is anything but a romance. Even months after reading it, I'm at a loss for how to describe it.
