Where the Devil Says Goodnight by K.A. Merikan

I warmed up to him after he was possessed, though, and the big reveal at the very end helped, too. I liked both MCs, Emil more so, but that’s a given - any priest, no matter how pretty and corruptible, would have a hard time becoming my favorite character. The plot was engaging and not very predictable, so that’s another plus. Despite not ever being to Bieszczady myself, it was easy to immerse myself in the folklore characteristic of tiny mountain villages. It very realistically depicted the intolerance and religious fanaticism so often found in Polish people. The fact the authors are Polish (I’d had no idea before) added a new level of authenticity to the story. The blurb was a bit messy, so I was really surprised how fun this actually was. The writing style could still use some more honing, but it’s better. Anyway, I liked it way more than my previous read from this authors. Possibly I was just in a state and it’ll continue to piss me off in the future, so this book came around at just the right time. I simply couldn’t take any of this catholic bullshit seriously and found it funny in a sarcastic way instead.

Usually any mention of religious themes in my books puts me off immediately, but I’d decided to give this one a chance and somehow, it didn’t happen here. That was one weird but strangely enjoyable read.
