A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself. A prince in danger must decide who to trust. A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings. Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war. In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light. Wicked Saints is the thrilling start to Emily A. Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy..
Something Dark and Holy is right!
Before you even start this...clear your schedule. You're not going to want to adult at all!
Next make sure you have plenty of fluids and snacks. Maybe a babysitter...as well.
I do want to say that I had my reservations about this book. New to me author. Quite a bit of praise already. I was afraid it was going to be like so many of the other series that are floating around right now. Where the hype just doesn't fit the actual book. Or it is just way over hyped. You know what I'm talking about. I am happy to announce that I was completely wrong.
Immediately I was sucked into the action and adventure that ensued quite quickly actually. It didn't stop either nor did I want it to stop. Not even when the book came to an end! Yes, it is a complete book hangover inducing book. You can't help but feel for these characters. They are relatable in so many ways, their hope and fears. Then you have the growth from the first page to the last.
If this isn't a top book of 2019 I don't know what will be. It's a must read.
