Cruel Is the Light by Sophie Clark – Our Review

Our Review…

For over a century, war has raged between higher-order demons and humankind. Cruel is the Light, a lushly beautiful and wildly imaginative novel, follows Selene Alleva, a powerful Roman exorcist haunted by her own inner demons, and Jules Lacroix, a French foot soldier struggling with questions of faith and morality.

Within the Vatican’s shadowed halls, Jules and Selene clash – but as they uncover the dark secrets hidden behind the palace walls, they’re forced to rely on one another. Sparks fly, loyalties shift, and nothing is as it seems.

Immensely pacy and action-packed, this is a fabulously powerful read, filled with epic world-building, political intrigue, and richly drawn characters – including Kian, Sparrow, Lucia, and Caterina, each with stories that deepen the world even further. Sprinkled with lots of awesome plots this is fantastic for readers who love intensely atmospheric and gripping reads.
