I HATE how books on tiktok get promoted.
Just saw “The hells of Notre Dame,” (which I already don’t like, bad title not a clever pun). And all the information we get is “dark Hunchback of Notre Dame”, “sapphic romance”, “enemies to lovers” and “enemies to lovers”.
This tells me exactly NOTHING.
Okay, we have The Hunchback. Which one tho? The book version? One of the early movies? A later movie? The French musical? The German musical? The slightly reworked English musical? The Disney movie? One of the theatre plays?
All of those are different stories with different themes.
We presumably have Esmeralda as a main character, but who is the other? Frollo, which yikes but is the only one that makes sense as the enemy to lovers thing? Quasimodo? Phobus? The poet guy? Someone new?
What does dark mean in this context? Because Hunchback always was pretty dark and heavy themes.
Dark romance? So like, Dub-con?
People in the comments are saying “this is the story I’ve always wanted!” But like… what is the story?
All I can guess is it plays in Paris, in Notre Dame and has lesbians/wlw and sex?
(Looking it up on Amazon and seeing it describe as “The Phantom of Notre Dame, where Hunchback collides with The Phantom if the operas in the streets of gothic Paris” did not help and also tell me NOTHING more about the story. Neither did the summery btw)
(Author Person if you are reading this for whatever reason I’m sorry I’m just mad at this kind of marketing. Your book might be good for all I know. And the cover is pretty and would make a nice print I guess)
