How do I find the words to describe this book. First of all, Johann. Johann. Monster himself. Good golly god in heaven. Oh my god. Sorry I actually can’t finish this review I need to stare at a wall and think about the absolute chaos, longing, suffering, lusting, killing—this book is revenge and filth and honey and I just wish it was 300 pages longer. This will have you smirking and gasping and laughing and just hating/loving every character. This is a gem.
Although as awful as the cherubic bastard was, really wish we got more Johann/Florian scenes. I Loveeed their dynamic
Although
Graphic: Death, Gore, Gun violence, Blood, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
