That Sik Luv by Jescie Hall
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.5
If you love dark romance - this book is one you need to read! Add it to your TBR. (But also check for TW first, okay?)
While the plot/storyline delves into a very dark perspective of organized religion, it can also draw parallels to possible real-life scenarios (especially power structure struggles within religion). This unsettling and contemplative aspect becomes more pronounced if one chooses to explore that line of thought.
In general, I adored Aero and Briony. Naturally, there's our exceptionally morally ambiguous main male character, and your heart aches for him, while the character evolution and progress of our main female character are simply unique.
