Bishop Martínez is living in a home that is haunted by creatures. Bishop is desperate to reclaim their home so they seek out the help of exorcist Colin Hart. But Bishop neglects to tell Colin that they actually know the most powerful and dangerous creature lurking in their home. As the truth unravels, Colin and Bishop begin opening up to one another in an emotional, spiritual, and physical way. But will their connection and magical powers be enough to successful (and safely) exorcise Bishop’s home?
Y’all… this book was a wild fucking ride. I made a poor judgment call and started reading this at night in the dark and let me tell you, every single noise I heard in my house had me shook lol. It was a book club pick for October and I will be sending my therapy bills to the co-leaders 😂😘.
The grief that Bishop and Colin were experiencing in this story captivated me. I really empathized with both of them; they were both trying so hard to grieve their lost loved ones but there was also so much trauma attached to their loss. The author’s writing style and poetic imagery made me feel like I was in the house with the MCs, experiencing first-hand what they were feeling. I loved all of the representation and the story itself was solid, complex, and heartbreaking at times. But I can’t lie: there were a few things that took place in this book that had me cringing 🥴 PLEASEEE read the content note at the beginning and know that some of the things listed are graphic! All in all, the representation (T4T, non-binary, Mexican) and imagery really carried this book for me and it was the perfect read to kick off spooky season.
