From author Jescie Hall, comes this dark and demanding stalker romance that pushes all the boundaries of exploring sexuality while simultaneously exposing the harsh realities of organized religion. This book explores many dark topics. Please beware of the trigger warnings before reading. Your mental health matters.
Fornication is a sin.
As it reads, we should flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
They teach us that these thoughts, these actions, are immoral. But that dark side that lives inside all of us, the true nature of man, drives us to seek the need that burns within, demanding to be set free. Deep inside of our bones lies that intrinsic need, one desperate to escape. An innate behavior, seemingly out of our control.
One that screams for sins they tell us are condemning.
Aero is the throat from which I scream.
The dark parts of myself I want hidden from this world are all he sees when he gazes at me beneath yet another mask.
He’s the demon drowning me in my own underlying desires.
He may never stop. Not until I succumb to my truths, or die beneath the weight of his unrelenting grasp.
Because according to him, the life I’ve been living is a hell far worse than death.

I have a new must read author! I found this author and title on Booktok (of course). I'm making my way through the popular dark romance titles and this was one of them. Booktok did not disappoint!
It starts as a stalker, innocent church girl thing. It ends as something completely different. The character development was insanely good, for both main characters. Some of the plot made me wonder, but it resolved itself.
Jescie Hall's writing is incredible! I want to get a physical copy, so I can highlight some of those lines. I quoted one on my TikTok account.
If you're on the fence about this book or writer, get off your butt, and start it. I'll be working my way her other books.
