i don't normally pursue fiction that is advertised as dark with messed up characters, just as a personal preference. but regardless, i gave this preview a try and i am instantly hooked.
caede's writing style is biting, full of humor, and paints their characters open and apologetically on the page. eric and bianka are beautiful in their imperfection and love just as much as they are rotten to the core. the absurdity of it all wrapped in a theatrical theme is just charming enough that it feels as if eric and bianka are holding their hands out to the reader to persuade following them straight into hell. and i'm taking the bait.
if you are like me and you like seeing two people with something deeply wrong with them being ride or die for each other as a divine comedy of their own making surrounds them, this is for you!
