Publisher's summary

He is righteousness. She is sin.

Father Cade Frederic is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of Paris, he has dedicated his life to the church. But there's a monster that lingers just beneath the surface. A sickness. One that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. When he's tasked to become the priest in Festivale, Vermont, a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled with despair, his sickness sings, demanding he rid the place of evil.

Amaya Paquette is Festivale's beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her younger brother and her nights transforming into Esmeralda, dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Although she longs for love, she shies away from companionship, afraid of being abandoned again.

When Father Cade lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself ensnared, convinced she's using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can't eat. Can't breathe. Can't think unless it's of her.

And temptation is a devastating mistress.

She's his weakness, so he decides he'll be her demise . . . even if it means killing the only woman he might ever love.

Contains mature themes.

DNF… Personal Preference

I DNF’d this book. Personal preference. I can not get on board when a priest or pastor goes against his oath to God. Otherwise, Emily McIntire is a phenomenal writer. I simply can not back a book where the priest/pastor goes against God.

Nasty and Delicious

Ladies and gentlemen, Emily has done it again! I think Scarred is still my favorite from this series but WOW this was so good. Depraved, sexy, and captivating! Also, as someone who has religious trauma from my upbringing, this was damn near cathartic for me. The narrators were great too! I was a little put off by the MMC’s accent at first but got used to it quickly! The female narrator’s French accent is a little weak when she’s speaking for Cade but great performance overall!

An interesting turn of events at the end and Easter egg for the next installment to the series

Loved this retelling of the Hunchback of Notre Dame with its taboo love interest and all

Soo good!

I have been loving these retailing my Emily. This one was super cute and I loved how the MC was a villain! Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorite Disney movies, so I had high hopes for this book and she did not disappoint. I was trying not to get my hopes up and I am glad I did. I was a little scared there that Amaya would end up with Parker… I am so glad Cade finally was like nope you are mine!

Intense

This was a delight and a treat. It took a bit for me to get fully in to but it was so worth it.

Unexpected twists!

It was hard to start and lots of religion that I wasn’t expecting so that took me off guard but the end twists that wow! Made me relisten a few times to make sure I heard correctly!

The retelling is nice.

I liked the story and characters. But, after reading all five back to back, it was repetitive. I wanted a little more. Wretched was my favorite.
