Worship Me: An Appalachian Dark Romance

Rate this book
"My sweet, saccharine love. Who do you fear most?"

For two and a half decades, I've been a mere voyeur.
A snake in the weeds, slithering open-mouthed against the floor of Dayleche Forest just to get a taste of the decadence that is her.

Clover.
My ANGEL.
My CHERUB.

Always just out of reach, always barely unattainable thanks to her devotion to the good Lord above. Until fate leaves her crawling to my doorstep, bloodied and weeping of divine Grace.

Now, her loyalty is slipping. Her faith knows conditions and her fear is palpable. I smell it in the iron-rich bone marrow oozing from her flesh, in the glittering tears that sit on her lash line. I have dined on the most taboo of beasts, and no morsel compares to her.

Will Clover abandon all that she knows and indulge in her hedonistic desires willingly, or will I have to drag her to Hell by tattered wings and force her to feast?

Entertaining as hell. Absolutely loved the MMC. He was deranged in the best ways possible (funny, sarcastic, not cookie cutter, unhinged because he cannibalized demons, you know the routine). Only knocked a star off because it puts Appalachian on the cover and I got zero sense I was there. All in all: tons pf fun.

The fact that I finally get to talk about this book!!

*read as arc*
5-⭐️ 3.5-🌶️
I’m so happy I can finally talk about this book.
I love it, and reading it a second time after the beta read it moved me just as deeply.
KC writes so beautifully, you’re heart just gets sucked in.

I am so obsessed with Kai and Clover, they burn so bright together that you’re heart hurts when they do.

This book is so incredible and well done.
I can’t wait for everyone to meet these two ❤️

I am crying REAL TEARS at 6am over this book. With my power out for the last three days, I've had nothing to do but starve and read this delicious book😂. I've NEVER read a book that put my emotions on God and Christianity into words. Everything Clover felt, I felt in my soul. The depiction of Hell in this book is very different from the way your typical evangelical Christian would describe Hell to you.

I know other queer people who grew up in a conservative area would relate to what I'm saying when I say that the depiction of Hell that we hear all of our lives, never really seemed right 😂. I love the way Heaven, Hell and in between are represented and described in this book. Hell is all about red, hot sin. And I'm here for it

These characters are so diverse and real, they're mysterious and wickedly smart.

Clover is the definition of a rebel, and I adore her for it. She's curious and smart, she follows her heart and it led her to both ungreat and very great places. Her struggle with staying pure and keeping her divinity, reminds me of my struggles to appear as a normal, pure, non queer young girl. We have so many expectations put on us, often unrealistic ones. Clover's struggle with her God's expectations were super understandable to me. I relate a lot to Clover's strong sexual desire/ promiscuity and her way of thinking. It really felt like she was inside of my mind.


Kairos is unlike any love interest I've ever read about. Not only are they a nonbinary demon, but they're just crazy smart and SO sexy. I'm actually drooling😍😍. They're walking, breathing, demon eating sex. The way they get off to being worshiped is so 🥵🥵 and scratches that itch for so many of my kinks. The way Kai yearns for Clover, the way their souls merge constantly and they cannot stay away from one another, is so beautiful. I feel their desperation to be near Clover anytime they're away. The obsession with Clover is an experience I'll only get in books, oh to be wanted like her😫. She's their salvation, the air they breathe, the blood they drink.

May God be with anyone who gets in the way of Kairos and Clover.

This book is SO smutty and sexy. I ADORE the way that KC has written this book.

The Smut is wild and probably not some peoples cup of tea but it sure was my cup of tea‼️

I've always been so interested in the Appalachia, considering that I grew up in South Carolina and often heard a lot about the creatures lurking in The Appalachian Mountains. My mouth fell open when I opened this book and it jumped right into the creatures of the Appalachia. I'm just in love with every topic in this book, every concept and every scene is perfect to me.




I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to read this book, I would've been missing out on an amazing journey.

I ate this shit up. Gods a woman and she’s a c***. This fed that little part of me that struggles constantly with religious trauma and the guilt surrounding leaving the church. This dark romance was so much more than just another smutty book. From the bible verses at the beginning of every chapter to the repeated references to accurate biblical history, I very much enjoyed the respect for the subject of religious trauma.
“For anyone who’s ever been fucked by religion. Remember to follow Matthew 5:29: Gouge out their eyes.”
This story follows an elam and a cannabilistic demon after the elam is stripped of her divinity in her attempt to get it back. Clover (elam) faces the struggle of falling for a demon who her god is definitely not ok with her falling for. Before being born she was predestined to belong to her God first and foremost. ||I loved watching her break away from God and finally make the decision to become a fallen angel. And lord have mercy was it hot to read about🥵||
Kairos (demon) takes on the task of helping Clover hunt down a parasite living within the area around Dayleche Forest, with the true task of making Clover theirs. Her soul though belongs to her God and he’s forced to either face their reality or change it.
||I desperately need more fallen angel Clover please||

”Choose me, once and for all, or this is over. I will always crawl home to you, but I need you to crawl home to me, too."


First thing you need to know (in case you forgot) is that Blasphemy is my love language, & Worship Me by was full of it and PERFECT.

Second thing you need to know is this is a DARK romance between 2 non-human beings. With haunted Appalachia and old gods. Violence and gore and cannibalism. And murder. Etc etc etc.



FMC Clover is a divine instrument of God, an Elam, against demons and whatever haunts her Appalachian village. She never had a choice, as this divine appointment is passed down through bloodline, parents ascend (die) and the child takes up the mantel. But Clover God is harder on Clover than any other Elam, and Clover… well she can’t stop fucking demons. Blaspheming as HELL.

Non Binary MC Kairos, the famed Soul Eater, & yes cannalism is taboo even in hell so this demon is feared. They’ve been watching Clover and when they finally meet face to face, it’s like an explosion. They are destructive, obsessive, & dangerous HOTT AS HELL.

But whoever Kai and Clover are together they piss God off more, and they can’t avoid Her consequences forever. But still, they try. They tear into eachother over and over with the desperation and urgency of two beings that know the noose is only getting tighter as time goes on.

God is a prideful, vengeful bitch. My favorite depiction of God bc IMO it’s the most realistic 😁

K.C did it again 👏🏾

When I tell y'all, I ate the story up like no one's business because I felt it in my soul. As someone who got kicked out of the church for unnecessary reasons, I truly felt Clover's struggle with her faith to God. Finding pleasure in things that should condemn us. The spice was off the charts. And I sure would benefit from another story about these two or even about Shiloh and the pitch black mc Rannan 😈

“Even when the mountains fall, and the Earth splits in two, you will always be mine. You will never be free of me. My soul will haunt yours in Heaven, as yours will mine in Hell, and I will find you in every lifetime. I always have.”

This is so hard for me to rate because, I really enjoyed it. Even though I'm not a huge fan of insta-love/lust, I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and characters, the depravity of it and yes, even the inner healing over the religious mockery (I'm Pagan after growing up Christian). However, and this is probably on me because I don't have triggers so I don't read the trigger warnings - other than the mcs cheating - so I missed that their was going to be a group sex scene and look I am a HUGE why choose girlie, I am also for consensual group scenes in a monogomous relationship so even reading that trigger wouldn't have turned me away tbh, but, I gotta be honest I did NOT feel like that was the case with this scene.

❌️❌️ SPOILERS ❌️❌️

Firstly, I struggle with books where one or both of the mcs continue to have sex with others once they've met but, fine I get she was trying to be "good" and ignore the demon path again when she banged the other angel guy but, Kairos literally murdered the guy immediately after. They almost killed the other guy flirting with her at a party and they'd threatened her on more than one occasion that if she let anyone else touch her other than them they'd murder said person. They were extremely posessive. So you expect me to believe their character just randomly decided "it's fine, I'm going to run a train on her and not kill any of them"? Not only that but, was it even consensual, truly? Because she mentions how they looked so heartbroken and had tears in their eyes when she agreed to it. That is NOT truly consent on Kairos' end for me. They were hurt she was willing to fuck anyone and not just them - they were hurt she agreed and didn't want this to happen. And on her end..she was literally in a sex club where the last time she was in a similar situation around that many demons the same effect happened where she loses her mind and becomes extremely horny and wants to fuck anyone/anything and is like drugged from their pheromones or something. That also, does not scream consent for me. And then we're supposed to believe the main reason Kairos even proposed this train was to "stretch" her out for them cause last time they tried to bang they were "too big" and she barely fit 3 inches inside but, then their next sex scene Kairos takes her in the ass without prepping her fully, no lube, and she takes it completely fine..an ass is way tighter than a vagina? Just made that train scene even more confusing. It served no real purpose, it wasn't even smut for smut to me, I didn't enjoy their first true time together being in that situation either and it didn't seem true to either of them. I guess maybe more for her than him but, she didn't really strike me as the type to sleep around in a relationship - just while single.

As for other books I've read with group scenes, they're usually talked about beforehand - even when the mmc is super posessive, it's a "one time thing" and it's extremely consensual. This didn't check those marks for me which is why I did not like it. And to make matters worse, after the fact they kinda imply they could/would do it again. Which again makes NO freaking sense when we literally watched Kairos murder men for touching her before, when they were pissed when they found out she banged a certain kind of demon, right before this train scene they see her dancing with another demon and they rage although we aren't told if they killed the dude or if theu just tossed him aside and when they were in tears/heartbroken over her agreeing to the train. And WHY would she agree? She kept saying how much she loved them, her soul yearned for them, no one had ever given her as much care, love and pleasure as they had (even before they fully fucked her), how she couldn't imagine being with anyone else and how her seeing them crying hurt her and then she's just "oop I can see this will hurt you but, I'm gonna do it anyways"..

❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️

Idk, I'm not rating it low because of "too much smut" I actually felt there was barely any between the mcs. It's not a long book and they don't really do anything til near the end. But, that entire scene just rubbed me wrong and did not feel true to either character we were getting to know but, hey what do I know. I didn't write them so I don't know them as well as the author does. 🤷‍♀️ Wasn't my cup of tea. Without the scene it would've easily been a 4 or 4.5 stars for me. I enjoyed the lore, the religious aspect, the characters and their budding love story. I wish it was even longer tbh. I really enjoyed Kairos' character the most and how they viewed Clover as their salvation. How she was this light for them and they'd burn the World and challenge God for her very soul. She was everything to them and I enjoyed the duality of their character being a morally grey demon, an asshole, kind of a bully at times, rough and down right dirty with a mouth made for sinning but, then they could flip it and be incredibly soft for her when she needed it and I think even THEY needed it sometimes. I wasn't the biggest fan of Clover tbh but, I didn't hate her. She had a lot of healing to do and while I don't think we got to truly see any of that healing, I enjoyed how she was fiesty, free spirited and strong willed.

I'm also a bit bummed it seemed everything to do with the side characters - Rannan and Shiloh just..fell to the wayside and was left unresolved/unfinished. Maybe they're gonna get their own book/s? I hope so anyways. Their was a lot of potential.

I also wanna be clear, for ME, I don't view 3 stars as a bad rating. It means I enjoyed the story but, there were things that if done differently would've made the story more enjoyable for ME, and while I wouldn't read it again - I'm happy I did read the story. I really did enjoy this book, just really wish that scene wasn't in it or that I enjoyed the scene I guess. I was super excited for this book and really wanted to give it that 4 stars I was feeling til that scene towards the end. But, I'd still recommend this for others. 🤷‍♀️🖤

First and foremost most please read the trigger warnings when going into this books as I’m sure wit can cause some trauma for some.

This is the second book I have read from KC and once again her writing has completely captivated me. This book was everything and I can only hope we get more! This book is pretty heavy on Heaven and Hell so if that’s not up your alley then don’t read this one. The story between Kairos and Clover was the definition of enemies to lovers. Two beings who do not “belong” together defy all odds, and well I try not spoil in my reviews but the ending was just everything and had me all kinds of giddy and sitting at the edge of me seat!

Huge thank you to KC for the opportunity to read and review! 

Worship Me follows Clover, a heavenly being that just can't help being involved with demons in unholy ways. After God strips her divinity, she comes across hell-being, Kairos. Feeling her divinity slipping away and the ails of mortal-hood seeping in, Clover finds herself being protected by Kairos for reasons unknown to her. They're drawn to each other, undeniably, but Clover just wants her divinity back. 

“𝕴’𝖛𝖊 𝖙𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖇𝖑𝖔𝖔𝖉, 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖍𝖆𝖘 𝖆𝖓𝖞 𝖒𝖊𝖆𝖑 𝖑𝖊𝖋𝖙 𝖒𝖊 𝖘𝖔 𝖋𝖚𝖑𝖑. 𝕴’𝖛𝖊 𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖉 𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖘 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜𝖓 𝖆 𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖒𝖊𝖗 𝖍𝖔𝖒𝖊.”

After taking on the task of finding the creature that has been killing off mortals, Clover and Kairos become an unlikely team, one not meant to exist in the eyes of heaven. But what's the point of divinity at the hands and mercy of a god that never seemed to want you? Clover begins to question the divine, question her goals and her place in a world where she doesn't have power of her own soul - which is what she truly wants. 

𝕾𝖍𝖊 𝖎𝖘 𝖒𝖞 𝕲𝖔𝖉, 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕴 𝖆𝖒 𝖓𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓 𝖆 𝖉𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖋𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖎𝖘 𝖉𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖘𝖎𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖎𝖗 𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖞𝖗.

I absolutely loved this world of heaven and hell that KC created. I loved Clover, and I feel like a lot of us that come from religious pasts can relate to her. And Kairos? This nonbinary, demon-eatin' shadow demon will give you a run. Kairos is absolutely delicious and will make you want to strip away your own soul for them to devour. I loved where this story ended, and I'm super curious what KC may have in store for this world next, especially with that ending and little dive into a note Clover reads. 

“𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖈𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖓𝖘𝖊 𝖒𝖊 𝖎𝖓 𝖆 𝖜𝖆𝖞 𝕴’𝖛𝖊 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜𝖓 𝕴 𝖓𝖊𝖊𝖉𝖊𝖉.”

All in all, I highly recommend this read for the ones that love a little religious undertone and blasphemy with their reads. You will absolutely not regret diving into Clover and Kai's story if that's your jam. The plot is amazing, the spice is top tier, and the darkness will swallow you whole. I suggest you let it happen. 

“𝕴 𝖍𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖜𝖆𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖆𝖓 𝖊𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖞 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖞𝖔𝖚. 𝕴 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖜𝖆𝖎𝖙 𝖆𝖓 𝖊𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖞 𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖊 𝖎𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙’𝖘 𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖎𝖙 𝖙𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖘.”

Fave quote: “Even when the mountains fall, and the Earth splits in two, you will always be mine. You will never be free of me. My soul will haunt yours in Heaven, as yours will mine in Hell, and I will find you in every lifetime. I always have.”

Read it if you like:
✔️ Dark romance
✔️ Set in the Appalachian mountains
✔️ Enemies to lovers
✔️ Queen/Non-Binary rep
✔️ Spicy hide and seek
✔️ ''Get in bestie we're healing our religious trauma with REVENGE''

Blurb: ''Always just out of reach thanks to her devotion to the good Lord above. Until fate leaves her crawling to my doorstep, bloodied and weeping of divine Grace. Now, her loyalty is slipping. Her faith knows conditions and her fear is palpable. I smell it in the iron-rich bone marrow oozing from her flesh, in the glittering tears that sit on her lash line. Will Clover abandon all that she knows and indulge in her hedonistic desires willingly, or will I have to drag her to Hell by tattered wings and force her to feast?''

My thoughts: This book breaks barriers and I'm so here for it! It's a dark romance that definitely put everything you think you know or was pressured to learn about religion into perspective and above all: it's a love story. About two people and how they find each other and help heal their traumas together. I LOVE the eerie and creepy Appalachian Mountains setting, it makes you wonder if there's really such creature there... who knows... The TW list is your friend before you read this so you're prepared for a wonderfully dark, twisted, blasphemy and steamy story!

ARC Read!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god.


When Clover loses her divinity for giving in to devilish desires, she comes face to face with the demon eater, Kairos, who shows her the freedom she has been so craving. Clover has also been tasked with finding the creature who has been stealing mortals in order to gain back her divinity. However, Clover acknowledges she wants total control of her own soul. Kairos recognizes a desire they've never had for another and shows her a life she could have and helps her uncover the true beauty she was created to be.

This book. This book was everything. I highly recommend reading through the trigger warnings before starting this, as it absolutely can bring up feelings you forgot or didn't know existed within yourself, for a plethora of reasons and not just the smut, which this has almost plenty of (I still found myself wanting more which probably just indicates there's something wrong with me but I'm gonna say I'm just in love with the MCs 😂). K C Blume is a spectacular author who knows how to reel you in and have you fall in love with a demon and a fallen angel. I wish I could reread this again for the first time over and over.

I was sweating. okay but this book had me allll in my feels, like I didn’t expect to cry but ya know KC somehow always makes me do just that. Clover was such a rebel, and that’s what made me seriously love her. Her rebelling only grew once she met Kairos and the way she follows her heart and doesn’t give a damn just made me love her even more. K.C writes in such a beautiful way that you feel what the characters feel and this book was no different. The way Kai loved clover was unmatched. & that ending, I was not expecting that but it made me hella giddy and I was swooning well after almost having a panic attack because I truly thought shit was gonna go south, but it didn’t. 🤣 I love love lovedddd this book, and I can’t wait to read more of what K.C puts out in the future.

This book was an absolute revelation for my soul, a tapestry woven with threads of passion and complexity that I never knew I craved. KC Blume has outdone themselves once again! The intricate relationship between Clover and Kairos is nothing short of mesmerizing. Their connection pulsates with a raw, primal energy that ignited every corner of my mind, leaving me breathless and yearning for more. Kai, the ultimate non-binary shadow daddy, embodies a magnetic allure that makes me feel a deep sense of devotion—I would gladly kneel in worship of their existence. Trust me, you do NOT want to miss this spectacular journey! And as always, please don't forget to check your trigger warnings; your wellbeing deserves that compassion.

Seriously did you read that quote?! Pure poetry.
K.C. aspect of heaven and hell was done impeccably. Heavenly Clover and devilish Kairos. The ultimate definition of two souls who defy the hierarchy.

Holy wow, I loved every second of this! The story is about a relationship that’s intense and complicated, where love and obsession get all tangled up. I’m obsessed with Kai —they're so charismatic, but there’s also this edge that had me a bit uneasy.

Blume's writing is super vivid, and I could feel the tension in every scene. It had me contemplating how passion can sometimes take a dark turn, which is both fascinating and a little scary. I was really invested in how Clover and Kai navigated their feelings and I caught myself reflecting on it even after I finished the book… the ending was just so beautiful, I definitely cried!

If you’re into stories that make you think about love and power dynamics within religion, you should definitely check this one out.

This was so good. I absolutely loved this take on divinity/heaven/hell, etc. I loved the setting and the characters. I'm a big fan of K.C. Blume ever since I read Lifers, and I knew just from the sneak peeks that I was going to love this book. This book isn't for everyone, but it really spoke to me and my own personal beliefs on things like religion and what happens after. I can't gush enough on the setting, though. It's obviously an Appalachian dark romance, but K.C. Blume has this way of writing that makes you feel like you're there in the mountainous woods, too. That you're the one searching for things people usually avoid.

K.C. Blumes writing is God tier with the way they make you feel EVERYTHING! From the cutesy, to the hotter than HELL, to the heartbreak...you will feel it along with the characters.

Thank you K.C for the opportunity to arc read this!

“I’ve found God, and it is her. I’ve seen true Heaven, and it pales Hell in comparison.”

The writing in this book was impeccable and I could not put this book down! This is a story about Clover, a heavenly being, and Kai, a hell being, and how they come together and help one another along the way. This book has it all - an interesting take on religion and God, queer representation, a shadow daddy, great dialogue and connection between main characters, and all the spice you could want. Readers should definitely look into the book before picking it up as it is very dark and very heavy but it is a must-read for sure!

This book was better than it had any right to be. I randomly added this to my TBR after a late night doomscroll through bookstagram and I had zero expectations for it. However, not only did the authors style of writing pull me in and keep me hooked all the way through, but the story was just so good. It was dark and tense and felt gothic in the way that the world was described. There were things that could trigger others (hello accidental necro), but for me it was just extra seasoning in an already dark romance. Clover's struggle to fit into the religious mold she is told she has to fit and her arc to find her true self would have been enough to make this five stars. K.C Blume knew that and still threw in queer rep, cryptids, great dialogue, and five-pepper spice (just in case I needed more reasons to rate this five stars). If you still aren't convinced, I have one thing to say: Non-Binary Demon Shadow Daddy. I really don't have any other words for how much I unexpectedly loved this book. Going to read more by this author now.

“I will break into Heaven and slaughter God myself, my cherub, if that’s what it takes to have you by my side for an eternity.”

K.C. wrote such a beautiful story and created such an awesome world. I definitely want more after reading this. This book will take you on a ride and have you feeling all kinds of emotions. I really loved the book, the storyline was really unique and had me hooked.

I love a good morally grey shadow daddy and Kai definitely fits that.

The story and characters are both great, the storyline will have you hooked and the book includes queer representation. I absolutely recommend this one!

I absolutely devoured this book, I loved both of the main characters, their chemistry was SO good, especially when Clover first meets Kairos, you can literally feel the electricity from the pages. I really enjoyed the plot and all the wonderful descriptions of the places and people, it was so captivating. The spice is actually good spice and not cringey whatsoever. Highly recommend this one. 5⭐️ 5🌶️

I. AM. FERAL. UNHINGED. SHAKING WITH THE NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT THIS BOOK.

First off, the prose? Truly the thing that boosts KC above all others. They have this way of phrasing the most depraved, fvcked up, disgusting things as a declaration of devotion so deep it shatters your soul.

This was the age-old story of “good” versus evil. The story of a jealous God & the lengths an immortal demon-eater would go to in pursuit of one of Her chosen’s soul.

The ancient horrors of the Appalachian forest are numerous but none as deadly as a demon who will damn you both before relinquishing your soul to another.
