Will I love Priest?

Look. I could tell you it’s a modern-day gothic. I could tell you it wields its heresy to illuminate the true meaning of God. I could tell you she writes with the clarity of an imprisoned martyr watching the pyre being assembled outside her window.

I could feel the pain but also that deeper, spiritual connection that took my breath away in the most unexpected ways.
