"Those blackened fingers twirled a few chestnut strands of her loose hair in soft connection and Csilla couldn’t bring herself to push him away even as her skin crawled."

Is this a book about creepy men? I can't even pay attention to the serial killer mystery

"Ilan ran a finger down the soft leather strap of a flogger. All gifts had their uses to the Faith."

ALL the dudes in this book are creeps

Why is this dude so rapey ugh

"Ilan’s pulse quickened at the thought of dragging the Izir into the depths of the cathedral and flogging his ideas out of him. Fantasising about beating an angel was probably somewhere on the sin ledgers, the cleansing invocation set at an exorbitant price, but the thought of this man’s handsome face cracking was deeply pleasing."

That's hot 🥵

"Ilan touched each whip, clamp, and tool of confession lightly, every piece in its place and scrubbed clean."

This would be great if it was a kink thing

"A baby who left her baptism water cold and clear, whose touch never sparked the smallest reaction in anything from a consecrated threshold to a relic. No one had ever heard of anything like her, not evil, not good."

She's The One™️!!

"...any fresh blood that would have sealed the request had been emptied into the river to flavour the carp."

Flavor the carp?? 🤢

"Her soulless blood didn’t carry any spirit, couldn’t do anything to strengthen the Faith."

Huh
