8/14/2023: This is my first workplace horror and I have thoughts. Review coming soon, but I'd like to say this now: This book felt like I worked there and those consultants were on something else. I was ready to quit and wondered why most characters didn't (lol).

8/19/2023: It’s been a couple days since I’ve finished this book and I’m still not sure what to say about it. I guess what I said before is all.

Бентли Литтл "Наследие"

Книгу я прочитала за 4 дня, а после половины вообще трудно было оторваться и лечь спать 😁 Эта история с неожиданным концом, держит в напряжении, полностью раскрывая жуткий и кровавый мир абсолютно больного человека, который оправдывает свои убийства.

Не сильно кровавая и в меру жестокая и довольно качественная книга.

Well, I didn’t think to post this at the beginning of last month, like I should’ve, but if anyone is interested, here are the 28 books that I read in 2022 (excluding comics), in the order that I read them:

Book Review: Dominion by Bentley Little

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars) Review: Bentley Little became one of my favorite authors quickly after reading both, “The Store,” and, “The Haunted,” and he has proven himself yet again with, “Dominion.” When I tell you this book is a wild freaking ride! I didn’t know what to expect from this book and honestly, not sure if you can expect what this book ends up being. I’m honestly not sure…

I was so distracted by the Bentley playing Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy as Crowley raced back to the bookshop this season that it didn't occur to me that we'd been in this position before.

Spat with Aziraphale?

Check.

Threatened by demons?

Check.

Rushing back to the Bookshop with the Bentley playing something overly romantic?

Check and check.

Friends, it is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that Crowley was having major flashbacks to the bookshop burning and Aziraphale being gone, which is why he was setting new records for the drive through central London. Maybe everyone else already thought about this but I didn't until right now and I am not ok.

[beebopboom]

yknow what it’s a fucking missed opportunity that Aziraphale didn’t drive the Bentley when he was body swapped with Crowley since he technically had a license

like cmon imagine Crowley’s face when Aziraphale pulled up to the park in the Bentley

Hold the Boi Gently

OG sketch below because I also liked how it turned out

They’ve taken over all my notebooks. And my brain. And my every waking thought. 🩷💚

[1650-1793-1941]

Aziraphale had always been able to feel when a place was loved. As an angel, love was very much in his remit. Often it was just a sense of warmth in a local coffee shop, or the infusion of countless weddings into the stone walls of a church keeping damp at bay. Tadfield had been a special case, Adam’s love for the place multiplying the feeling to almost unfathomable levels, but every close-knit village across the country hummed with a similar, albeit it far subtler, joy.

It was therefore not particularly strange to settle into the Bentley, reading himself for the drive to Edinburgh, and feel a wave of love from the vehicle. Crowley had loved the car for ninety years. That kind of attachment couldn’t possibly not leave a mark. Usually when Aziraphale was in the Bentley, he was sitting beside Crowley, whose terrible emotion processing skills worked hard to suppress the feelings, but now Aziraphale was alone he could tell the car was so clearly cherished. He couldn’t help but smile, running his hands over the leather of the steering wheel to reassure the car that he’d take good care of it, because it clearly mattered to Crowley so deeply.

It was thirty miles out of London that Aziraphale started to become aware that there was something slightly different about the love infused into the Bentley. Usually it went one way, a place was loved but it couldn’t really love back. The car, however, seemed almost fond of him. It played classical musical when Aziraphale asked it nicely, the horn honked merrily rather than with the aggression Crowley usually forced from it on the rare occasions he thought it worth using at all. The travel sweets and the new yellow detailing, the comfortable and warm leather seats, the safe driving speed – Aziraphale could feel the Bentley desperate to please him.

It was only after Crowley checked in through the radio that Aziraphale realised what was going on. It seemed mad to even think it, but it was the only logical answer. Crowley’s love, not just for the Bentley but for Aziraphale specifically, was laced into the fabric of the car, so strongly it was echoing back. He would never have believed it, but the same feeling he got from the car was threaded under Crowley’s words. He might have complained about the yellow paint and the travel sweets, but really he was checking in to make sure Aziraphale was alright. After millennia of existing together, Aziraphale had learnt to read between the lines. So when Crowley asked him to drive faster, he knew that didn’t mean put yourself in danger to get my car back to me quicker, it meant get yourself back to me as fast as possible, because I feel better when I know you’re safe. Aziraphale knew better than to point it out, but he also wasn’t going to protest – he loved a good caper, but he knew he’d also feel better when he was back at the bookshop. Back with Crowley.
