A review by bookcadaver
Saint Sadist by Lucas Mangum
3.0
I really wanted to love this, especially with such a beautiful book cover, but I’m really sad to say it didn’t hit those marks for me.
I really tried to roll with the imagery/symbolism and not think logically while reading, but entirely, I wasn’t entirely digging it. The dialogue felt stilted & the sex scenes were quite cringey, which I was struggling to get past as it kept pulling me out of the scene. I think the start of the book was really captivating but began to slowly roll down the hill until I wasn’t really caring what happened to the MC.
Overall, I’m curious about Mangum’s other works, but I didn’t enjoy Saint Sadist as much as I had hoped.
