Good golly, this book is dark in the BEST way possible. Deceit, lies, murder, betrayal, and unexpected love all tangle together to create an intricate web of strings these characters have to find their way out of.
From the blurb:
His bite marked me. His kiss ruined me. His return damned me.
LORENZO
I was built to kill—flawless, heartless, and loyal only to the man who made me. Now he's my next target.
When a rare Judas Coin forces me to hunt Dionysus, I need his son: Rafael. A fallen priest I marked with my teeth years ago.
I don’t need a partner. I don’t need a conscience. But I’m stuck with both. And every moment we spend together reminds me what it feels like to want something I was never meant to have.
RAFAEL
I was damned the moment he touched me.
Now he’s back with blood on his hands and a contract on my father’s head.
I should run. Pray. Turn him in.
Instead, I’m hiding him in church basements, watching him bleed for me. Kill for me.
Lorenzo is temptation wrapped in violence, a sinner sculpted in scars.
And the more I fall, the further I drift from the God I once served.
If redemption is still possible, I’ll find it in him—or burn beside him trying.
GODLESS is a dark, high-heat MM romance about assassins, fallen priests, and what happens when the devil you fear becomes the only one who makes you feel alive.
Angel's review:
This amazingly dark series started off the Luka and Vincent's book, their story introduced us to this world full of crimes, assassins, judges, and juries. In Rafael and Lorenzo's story we get more of a look behind the curtain of both the Pantheon corporation and the Church. Both awful in their own rights but one way worse than the other..
It's so difficult to write this review without giving away spoilers but I'm going to try my best here. Lorenzo and Rafael are most comparable to oil and water, they aren't supposed to mix. These two were at each other's throats, quite literally I might add, for a good portion of this story. Which considering everything they've been through, all the things they've experienced at the hands of those who tried to control them, is understandable. My favorite part was when these two exposed their soft underbelly's to each other after 'hating' one another for so long. That was the crucial moment in their dynamic in my opinion.
These two men did not have an easy road, and while they DO end up together, their fight is far from over. We learned who else Zeus was working with, but we still don't know who Zeus is, or why he's so determined to destroy certain people over others. There's still quite a bit of mysteries yet to solve and I'm very eager to continue reading this series. Yes, it is a dark series, this book especially so, but it is so much more than being dark romance. There are nuances to this series, as well as having significant messages within the pages too. I really am quite intrigued by this series and I'm so excited to see who's story we get next.
Perhaps Diego's and Jasper's? I'm curious about Jasper's reaction to a certain little girl...
