✨NARRATION✨
I HAVE to start with my opinion of this narration. This is probably Joe Arden’s most powerful and deeply emotion narration. I do not think I would have been SO hooked on this book if it wasn’t for his version of Aero. OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD! We are ABSOLUTELY not fucking worthy of this performance and narration. I cannot. I LOVED the dual narration. Desiree Ketchum was equally as strong of a narration. It would not have been so good without the two of them together. BRAVO. New Standard reached for narrators for me!!
✨DESCRIPTION✨
Fornication is a sin. As it reads, we should flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
They teach us that these thoughts, these actions, are immoral. But that dark side that lives inside all of us, the true nature of man, drives us to seek the need that burns within, demanding to be set free. Deep inside of our bones lies that intrinsic need, one desperate to escape. An innate behavior, seemingly out of our control.
Aero is the throat from which I scream.
He’s the demon drowning me in my own underlying desires.
Because according to him, the life I’ve been living is a hell far worse than death.
✨THOUGHTS✨
This book IS NOT for the faint of heart. It is morally wrong. Every single character needs to be tried for their wrong doings. Every single character needs a psychiatrist and EXTENSIVE therapy. But if you remember that his is JUST a story and it is all fantasy, HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I think this has become the spiciest thing I have ever read. It’s a book about a vigilante, about correcting the morally corrupt, and the religiously vile creatures. Aero and Briony are dark and extremely twisty. They are wrong, but their scenes would have anyone into kink…panting. That’s all. I don’t even know anymore.
