My religion starts with “Isa” and ends with “Bella.”Skin of a Sinner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Author: Avina St. GravesIt is a dark second-chance romance featuring childhood friends to lovers and include kidnapping, stalking, Bonnie and Clyde Vibes.Roman aka Mickey and Isabella met each other when they were 8-6 years old, on the first day of school and they both had abusive foster families.Then they found solace in each other’s presence, and became everything for each other.Roman disappeared in a mysterious way without any word, and Isabella thought that he left her, but after three years, he came back and killed her abusive foster family, and when she woke up, he said, “I’m sorry, Princess. I didn’t mean to wake you.”Roman was absolutely dark and Isabella was sweet and light but the two worked so well together.It is the classic “bad boy meets good girl and becomes obsessed” trope.He reads books to her and I can say for sure no one does that.I loved how much he loved Bella and how he would kill her for her.Bella on the other hand didn’t really stand out and was overpowered by Roman a lot.The way Roman loved Isabella, the way he wrote letters for her even from jail, the letters which never reached her.I will never forget how Roman would take care of Bella when she had an asthma attack and ensure she had her inhaler even when she would forget it, or how he would braid her hair.Roman riviera might be a walking red flag but i’m colourblind so he’s a green flag to me 😍He literally just laughed, grinned, or smirked every time he would kill someone, and he was so unapologetic for everything.This book managed to hook me from page one and make me obsessed to see the story of Bella and Mickey unfold.

the pages of the book are way too thin literally the front cover too and the words are misprinted. also, the book was slightly damaged at top, would've gotten a way better book at this price.

The quality of the book was really really good ✨The story was beautiful written. I've been a dark romance reader and this book is perfect for the beginners.

(This is a voluntary review.)- Touch her and you die- Obsessive, Possessive MMC- Golden retriever energy- Childhood besties- Trauma, Abuse, Loss- Masked Man- Hates everyone but her- Good girl, bad boy👉- Read TW/CW👈Plot:Isabella Garcia has always been subjected to loss, abuse, and suffering. The biggest loss of her life was when she lost her mother. But an equally big loss was when her childhood best friend and crush, Roman Riveria, disappeared from her world. It has been three years, and after all this time, he is in front of her. He just murdered her foster family. Yes, they tortured, beat, and abused her, but that doesn't mean they should be murdered, right? There's no one to make Roman understand this. He is here to take Isabella away, but she believes he betrayed her and says she hates him. The question is whether she will go willingly or whether he will forcefully take her, because he is adamant and has no boundaries that he would not cross when it comes to his Bella.⭐4.25/5🌶3.5/5My thoughts:What an enjoyable read! I did not think I would fall for this obsessive, crazy man this hard. The extremes he would go to for his girl are boundless. He would LITERALLY do anything for her. I LOVE SUCH MEN. AAAAHHH!!! I absolutely love the trope "Touch Her and You Die," and this man embodies it. I mean, he can't even see anyone other than his Bella. I love such obsessive men. The spicy time was good. What I genuinely loved about this book was the deep connection I felt between Isabella and Roman. They were made for each other. His words made me cry; he is just too nice*, I can't. This book also made me smile. The small details were paid attention to so well. Ms. Graves is an amazing writer. I could not put this book down.*The word "nice" here denotes treating the FMC right. If she is happy, even if the MMC burns the world down, he is a very nice man.All romance lovers, especially dark romance lovers, MUST READ this book!Thank you to Avina St. Graves for sharing an ARC with me! 🥺❤✨Thank you so much for reading! ❤✨

The dynamic contrast of the MCs is amazing.It’s the kind of book that breaks your heart but also puts it back while adding more flutter to it.

The media could not be loaded. I received this book just now and while checking the book I saw this page which was torn. The quality of the pages is also not that good and the price was also high according to the quality of the book.

Mmc was obsessed with herLoved it!!!He was caring only to her..., he will do any thing for her...God i loved it!! Mickey an bella💓
