This book was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I love Kerri Maniscalco's writing. The storyline of this book was so intriguing. Emilia and her twin are witches and there is a witch hunter going around taking hearts. Is it a demon prince or a human? That's what Emilia intends to find out. She's out for revenge and will stop at nothing to find the thing or person who wrecked her family!

Alright so the setting and atmosphere were perfect. This was a darker and mysterious story and I think the writing fit that perfectly. My issue with this book was Emilia herself. She kind of annoyed me. She ran right into danger without thinking of anything. She was almost TSTL. She did get better towards the end and that makes me excited for the next book. If not for her, this book would have been perfect in everyway.

I still 100% recommend this book. The writing is amazing and makes you feel like you're there. SO just push past some of Emilia's more annoying moments and try to enjoy it because I think the next book is going to blow us all out of the water!

I liked the way everything surrounding the witches was presented and thoughout 🧙🏻‍♀️

There were moments that I was fully enveloped by the story but at a point I lost that. I was in a slump when I started this one and it wasn’t a book that could get me out of it 😕

I did like the story and will read the sequel but maybe not anytime soon, we’ll see what the mood brings to the TBR in October 🤷🏻‍♀️
