I liked the idea of the story but the fact that the main character was 18 and romancing a thousand year old demon gave me the ick šŸ¤§

I actually wish that the book was longer. Other than the very drawn out beginning (especially the prologue which I donā€™t think is too helpful yet considering Emiliaā€™s aura power from her cornicella was pretty much irrelevant other than identifying one of the other Wicked after Wrath), it moved so quickly. A lot wasnā€™t explained and the book left with a lot of questions that I doubt will be answered in the next book considering it takes place in Hell - like what happened to Claudia? Why did she scry with human bones? What about the werewolves? They were a random addition that may be relevant later but I doubt theyā€™ll come to Hell?

Also, I donā€™t get the end for a lot of reasons. First, how can Emilia marry Pride when sheā€™s already halfway through a marriage bond with Wrath? How is Wrath cool with that? And better yet, it said he had his full powers, how is that possible? From conversations throughout the book, I donā€™t think the bond could just be broken or Wrath and Emilia wouldā€™ve done that already.

And why is Wrath back to being an ass to her at the end? Why are they ā€œenemiesā€ again? The betrayal didnā€™t seem that crazy to me (maybe it needed to be flushed out more?), but either way I get why Emilia was mad at him to an extent. But they literally went: Wrath being super sketchy and doing stuff without her, betrayal, Wrath is begging for her to stay/trying to explain/etc., Wrath sacrificing himself for her while she is begging Envy not to do it and obviously in distress for him, her trying to summon him again and it not working, to finally him showing up to escort her to Hell. No discussion about any of what happened, just enemies again? I donā€™t get it.

Iā€™m giving this a 3 because no matter how frustrated I am with it, I read it in less than a day because it really was a high-paced book with a good storyline. I only slightly saw the killer coming but still, but that was really good. I really enjoyed the character dynamics, especially when the other Wicked weā€™re brought it, and Iā€™m excited to see that in the next book. I have higher hopes for the second one since I feel like Emilia has grown a lot and Iā€™m excited for her to be a more confident badass.
