I enjoyed this book but so much of it was just Emilia lusting over Wrath and then being like “it’s not real” and then going back and forth with that every other scene and then at like 60% in the plot started actually picking up. And then the end reveals we’re pretty dang good. So it got there. But I felt like it took awhile to get there. I did like this book more than the first one though, I enjoyed the political intrigue of the demon courts whenever it took place but I was hoping that there was going to be more of that than there ended up being. That said, I am invested in the mystery and I am going to read the next book so.

4 ⭐️, 3.5 in 🌶, ✅ escape test
in 2024, we support women's wrongs. we also support men who support women's wrongs.

This book was waaay sexier than the first and I was 100% here for it. Wanna know what else I was totally here for? Emilia fucking everyone up.

I really love the world that Kerri Maniscalco has created and the magic system is really fascinating to me. The way she describes food had me hungry for a good antipasto the entire time and the way she described Wrath had me thirsty the entire time.

I must give major kudos to the audiobook VAs as they did a phenomenal job and the production was eerie and definitely contributed to the reason I enjoyed this book so much.

I’m definitely invested in this series. Finally at a least a little smut. I’m definitely rooting for twin vengeance and Wrath love. I love everyone fighting over this sexy protagonist. We can all just pretend it’s us. I love it. Now onto the next book ! I must see how all of this ends! Hoping for more smut and a wedding!

GAAAAH I LOVE THIS SERIEEESS!!! This book is a strong 5 ⭐️ but it was a bit hard to get hooked from the beginning. It had been awhile since I read the first book and did not remember who had killed who and so on, I was a little bit disoriented.  BUUUT I WAS SO GLAD I CONTINUED BECAUSE GAH I LOVED IT❤️❤️❤️
