I'm going to freely admit, while I did love this book it took me awhile (over a month) to finish it. I wasn't even sure if I should write a review of it because it took me so long. But, here I go.

Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy #1) by Emily A. Duncan
This book definitely has a very gothic aesthetic to it, especially given how much the word 'blood' and 'vultures' is used in it. Seriously, it rivals the number of times SJM uses 'mate' in ACOTAR. The entire book had a very dark setting to it, but the two kingdoms we visit are dark for different reasons. Kalyzazin has a kind of winter/snow-covered, mountainous setting while Tranavia gives off more of a creepy bog, river vibe.
