He Who Bleeds by Dorian Valentine
3.0

3⭐️ Religious Rollercoaster | tropes: obsessive love, catholic , demons | high steam | digital

Overall Thoughts 💭:
Aurélien Saint-Orlant, which is cunty name, is a second son of lord dealing with terrible dreams and sleepwalking and an obsession with Father Celio, I didn't remember what the book was about (I requested it from the library and it was finally my turn) but I was pleasantly surprised at the turn it took. A lot of the time I (like the main character) was confused with what was going on and didn't know where the plot was going to end up. It was fun overall, but I felt like something was missing. The concepts were all there with some interesting world-building around demons and help,l but it didn't grip me.
