Book Review: Forgive Me Father

 

Darkest Desires: Season 1

For one night in Paris, only the best of the best gather for the Mortes Ostium (Death’s Door) Ball. Once a year, k!llers from all over the world descend on Paris for a grand weekend to connect, reminisce, and compare their achievements of the year.

Stacci Cavetti

I've been obsessed with Father Davi Vinci since I was twelve, and he doesn't even know I exist. After stumbling into a debauched scene—I should’ve never witnessed—I’ve dedicated my life to getting him to notice me. From my first kill to my twelfth, I craved every ounce of his pride, only to be ignored like an old shoe left behind in a muddy puddle.

However, even without his praise, I’ve earned the attention of another who embraced my creativity and my death count. Being a member of Mortes Ostium has allowed me to fulfill my desires while also staying close to my one true love, Davi Vinci. Now, with the annual ball approaching, I know I’ll finally make him see me.

And, when I do, I'll make sure he never forgets me.

Davi Vinci

Contract killing wasn’t the direction I’d seen my life going in. Raised in a proper Catholic home with a godly family, I attended Jesuit school intent on joining the priesthood. Until I met him—Darwin Garcia. My best friend and lover. He opened my eyes to a world I’d never seen before while showing me the hedonistic pleasure I could find late at night behind a church altar.

That was how I also met Bernardo Calvetti, leader of the Calvetti family and her—Stacci Calvetti, a wide-eyed imp who saw too much and put me on too high of a pedestal.

The disillusionment of humanity and the church made me ripe for the picking and soothed an itch I realized had always been there. As one of Mr. Cavetti’s best killers, I use the church to my advantage.

No one ever suspected a priest.

Except for Mortes Ostium.

The secret society watched me from afar, then drew me into a world of decadence and immorality and, though I loathe organized clubs, I found my home within their ranks. Each kill celebrated added another notch in my rosary. Now, with the Mortes Ostium gala approaching, I have my eye set on Stacci. She’s walked into my trap, and she has no clue what I’m about to do to her.

Darwin Garcia

Growing up on the streets made me the man I am today. I learned the hustle at a young age and the value of an education. I might not have had a family, but I found mine in Davi and secret society of Mortes Ostium.

Sure, it would’ve been easier using my skills to save lives. Unfortunately, there’s a broken part in my brain that can’t quite commit to saving humanity. Call me an anti-hero or the fallen angel. Labels meant nothing to me. I gained my pleasure watching the realization then fear in the eyes of my marks as their life leached from their bodies.

Now, as a full-time tattoo artist and hired killer for several organized crime families, I fulfilled my needs whenever the mood struck, earning my spot next to Davi within Mortes Ostium. However, there’s a piece was missing between us, and with the gala approaching, I’d do everything in my power to bring her home—even if it meant carrying her back in a body bag.

My Review

If you thought Father Davi was evil, you have not met Stacci. Female serial k!llers are not as common as males. Stacci's heart is black. She is obsessed with Davi and to show him just how much, she sends him gifts from her victims. 

Stacci and Davi together is steamy HOT, but you add Darwin into the mix, and it is a party! I really liked these three together. 

"One diabolical, the other sinister."

This is a dark and twisted book, and I LOVE it. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see these three in action more with their skill sets. If you like your books DARK and taboo, you are going to NEED to read this book!
