Okay, this was so much fun. This was my first Santana Knox book and definitely won't be my last! I LOVED the setting, loved the religious/Satanic themes, and adored the twins, Felix and Corvin. Romina was fine as a main character — not a new favorite — and I wasn't a huge fan of Sonny due to his stunted emotional development lol, but Felix and Corvin definitely made up for it imo. More than anything, though, I was just enthralled by this whole near-future dystopian "religion has destroyed the world" vibe the plot revolved around.
This is definitely one of the more spicy books I've read, so if you're looking for a steamy dark romance with a very unique plot, I highly recommend picking this one up!
