A review by lu_lopez
That Sik Luv by Jescie Hall

5.0

I’m speechless! Like for real!
Jescie is a fenomenal writer! Not only the plot was good, but the way she told the story, giving us the information we needed at the right time. Is like Aero’s mastermind plan.
Writing about religion aspects is always dangerous, because religious people don’t really like to read about it. But we all know the horrors the Catholic Church committed in name of God, money or power. And reading about it, reading about someone taking their revenge, and taking back what they stole…. Was epic!

I don’t want to tell you much about this book, because nothing will beat going in blind, and discovering for yourself.
I will tell you this though: Aero set a plan to bring down the Catholic Church, with all her lies. He grow up in it, and he knows better than anyone, what people who proclaim themselves as righteous are hiding.
While doing that, he brings an unknowing Briony to the plan. This sweet innocent Catholic girl, that is so oblivious to the church’s sins and the target on her back.
One of the things I like most about this book was the fact that Aero didn’t tell her anything, he just let her figure it out by herself. Life a therapist, they don’t give you the answers, they help you figure it out for yourself, and come to your own conclusions.
The depraivity, the sex scene, the stalking, the kidnapping, and everything else was a plus.
The fact that she was the one who save him. Usually in books is always the FMC that is kidnapped, or put in danger, or something like that. But here is the complete opposite. And I love it! It was so refreshing!
The last scene of the epilogue killed me! Never would I thought, in my wildest potential plot lines that Briony would do that. That clever bitch!
This two were a match made in heaven!
This book is perfection. Is extremely dark. And so if you are catholic, I don’t think that you would be okay reading this book. So probably stay away from this one.

The thing that kept me thorn was how slow paced the book was. Or rather, I was anxious to know where the story was going, and not being able to see the plot, or part of the plot is great. But it was terrifying, because I didn’t want it to be disappointed, so I took my time reading this. I was dragging it along, afraid I wouldn’t like the end. And I was so stupid! Jescie did such a good job!
She built a story with so many layers, like an onion, and when you peal one, and then other, and another, you stand at a landline waiting to fuck all your theories!
This was one of the most darkest and dirtiest stuff I ever read. But the characters have so much depth, trauma, emotion, and growth.
And at the same time this book is so filthy!
The scene in the sex club? Not the first one, the other one… I’m dead!
Do yourself a favor and go read this book.
But clear your day, because you won’t want to be interrupted. This book will just suck you right in, and keep you hooked in every page turn.

Note: for what I can gather, a lot of people compare Aero to Zade (from hunting Adeline). I haven’t read HA, but, for what I saw in reviews, this two are completely different! One is not superior to the other. They’re just completely different! Please don’t trash a book, just because you compare it to an incomparable thing. From what I gather the only thing that this two have in common, is that they are both Alpha male, and stalkers. That’s it!
If you want to compare it, compare it to Harley Quinn and the Jocker, and their toxic love.
Okay bye.
Happy readings
