4.5 stars - This Vicious Grace is the first fantasy book I’ve been able to easily get lost in, in such a long time. The plot was intriguing because it was unique. This magic system felt fresh and the build up throughout the novel was amazing. The bodyguard romance was to die for (you’ll get the joke id you read the book!) and Dante quickly became a top contender for book boyfriend of the month! Alessa’s journey was full of so much growth and self love it was impossible to dislike her. Overall, this novel is the perfect fantasy read with a sprinkling of romance!

I read this in a weird hotel on the beach in Southern California. I couldn’t put it down but I was confused sometimes.

"The thing that scares men with power most is a woman with more of it."
A solid 4-star book for me. A girl who kills everyone she touches? Sign me up! The Italian inspired fantasy world was perfect for summer and I LIVE for the banter between Alessa and Dante. A perfect bodyguard romance! Alessa is touch starved (no surprise) and doesn't shy away from naming her desires in hilarious ways. She feels so real and not like a cliché chosen one at all.
My only critique is that the story is a bit slow at times and the plot didn't grip me that much. I don't feel crazy about the prequel, but do plan on finishing this duology one day.

Let it be said that I am a sucker for Dante and my enjoyment of this book solely depended on his sassy ways. It’s definitely a YA read and something I struggled to be gripped by, I found it easy to put down and leave for hours. However, it was a good read and I will be reading the sequel
