I absolutely loved Sasha scaring the shit out of Roma - I was laughing so hard I couldn't handle it.

I loved this book. 

After having my difficulties with ‘The Atlas Six’, I saw ‘One for my Enemy’ being recommended and thought I’d give it a try. 
It is a sort of Romeo and Juliet retelling with witches, but it’s so much more than that. 
I really enjoyed the story, there were a lot of twists that made the book interesting. Because it’s a retelling, there were guesses to be made about the story progression, but it was a surprise how those points were met. 
The writing was beautiful, eben poetic. I couldn’t put the book down, but it wasn’t a super quick read, which I’d guess is because of the writing.
Again, I really liked this! 
A hint if you’re reading the e-book- please be cautious of using dark-mode. There are pictures in this (similar to The Atlas Six as well), and they do look really scary when they’re inverted in dark-mode, so beware!

I was a bit hesitant because I’m admittedly not the biggest fan of The Atlas Six but I have to say I liked this one more. At times the plot feels a bit too convoluted for my taste and I don’t think every romance scene needs to be presented as the most epic of moments but overall a solid read.

Olivie Blake has devastated me once again. She drags you into the old world hidden within the new and the hope within the tragedy. The characters are compelling and the prose is gorgeous. Hits just like a Romeo and Juliet retelling should.
