4.5/5 - review to come. :)
"Please, Simon. I can't do it by myself. I've tried, but I get tired and dizzy. You have to help me, Simon. I want to see the Virgin. I want to feel her grace pouring down on me, cleansing me of sin, and taking me into the divine light." She reached her arm over him, pulling herself up, until her face was next to his. "Please, Simon. I feel so alone. I need to be with Her."

There's no denying the writing is fantastic, but this story just wasn't my cup of tea.

Before reading this, I've only thought of the erotica genre as something you read for the sole purpose of getting off. So it was such a welcome surprise to read this atmospheric story. I really appreciate the thoughftulness in the writing and how sex was used as a means to explore the characters' psyche and the church's obsession with violence that borders on fetishization. This was really interesting for me because the writing was really sensual, yet it didn't evoke arousal because of the context so I was able to contemplate about its subject matter more.
