Faint
dnf @ pg 133
I bought this sometime this spring and read like 100 pages and gave up for a while. I thought I was going to go back to it but.... it's just so fucking boring. it's billed as a serial killing priest who falls in love with an exotic dancer so you can imagine why I'd pick it up but again. boring. it's written in split POV so there's so sense of mystery, the priest has no conviction behind his killing or his faith so he's just kinda a wishy washy asshole instead of something scary. AND there's someone in the town worse than he is so what's the point of making him out to be this villain of all villains if you're not even going to make him the worst person living somewhere where there are like sub 1000 people?? he's supposed to be frollo but he doesnt have even a third of frollos energy. also instead of finding a way to deal with Esmeralda's Romany heritage, the author just made her racially ambiguous and "Quinton" has autism. anyways. boring, unoriginal, I read better Frollo/Esmeralda on fanfiction.net in 2006. save your money and check AO3.
