I was confused from nearly cover to cover, but oh so entertained.

Wow. I can't remember the last time I was that disappointed with a book. I'm so mad I didn't DNF it.

there was a plot, but whether we stuck to it or not was another thing. emelia was annoying and also an idiot, not gonna lie. i don’t like her character but i do understand her initial reasoning for trying to solve her sister’s murder. i too would unleash hell if someone ever laid a hand on one of my siblings’ heads. i can only imagine how much more intense that fury would be if it happened to be my twin who was hurt. also nonna telling emelia to deal with the fact that vittoria is gone and move on already is a pretty crappy thing to say. emelia described her twin as her other half and to be expected to keep going after losing that is cruel, especially by someone who had a hand in raising both those halves.
it makes sense why its wrath who she summons. her twin is dead, her grief is choking her daily, and no one is doing anything to try and solve her sister’s murder. summoning rage and fury itself? that’s a given.
emelia’s moods give me a lot of whiplash though. her character didn’t have any substance and she played the damsel-in-distress role so often that i hardly think her capable of figuring out who ate the last cannoli, much less a murder and bringing hell down to its knees.
wrath was a complex character and it was pretty clear who the author’s favorite was. if she had put even half as much of an effort as she put into wrath’s character into emelia, then maybe she would be decent instead of all-around pathetic.
that ending was meh and i could tellthe murderer was antonio from the moment vittoria scared them in the monastery’s kitchen and he just stepped in front of emelia while holding up his rosary, unfazed. that was kind of a dead giveaway that he wasn’t the innocent boy next door emeila always thought of him as.
also pride x emelia? as if. she’ll be back in wrath’s arms soon enough. doesn’t help that he’s acting like such a dick though so i guess we’ll see if they even deserve to be together in the next book.
this gets 3.25 stars from me. it had promise but the execution of it all was terrible.

the sexual harassment and violence happens after emelia meets lust, so do with that what you will.

The longer I sit with this, the more I realize I don't remember anything about this book. I did have a good time trying to figure out the mystery. I will be reading book two and three and I hope Wrath and Emilia's relationship get more developed because it was not giving the tension at all. I think Wrath was modeled after Ryhs from ACTOAR
