These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever
slow-paced
5.0
Oh. My. God. The messiness? This book is a gift to the publishing world. And if Micah Nemerever wrote another one, I'd read it in a heartbeat. It's been a long time since I've read a debut novel that left me this flabbergasted.
These Violent Delights is a novel about obsession and the lengths people will go to to prove their devotion. It starts out with a bang and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I devoured this audiobook and finished it one day because I just couldn't stop listening to it.
Paul and Julian are so wrapped up in themselves and each other from the moment they meet, and their relationship is volatile and toxic from the beginning. Neither of them are likeable people. They aren't supposed to be. But their toxicity and the messiness of their relationship, paired with Paul's inner monologue and self-hatred, is so addicting. For a slower-paced novel, the drama was constant and I could not keep a straight face listening to this because shit was just going down, all the time.
I will recommend this book to everyone. Especially if they want drama and are as obsessed with the concept of obsession as I am.
