This book was very much a filler. Nothing except for Emilia learning stuff that will affect the next book but not this one. This was very much just Emilia running around and discovering some clues and ignoring some others (that I would've gathered more info on but I guess I'm just different).
Don't get me wrong. I loved it. There was relationship building and worldbuilding and it was great but also after finishing it, I cannot tell you anything that happened before like the last 15% of the book

This book is all about desire and temptation, it kinda felt like the only substance to it - I don’t really feel inclined to like the main character for most of the book and her constant state of denial got annoying. Just like in book one, it felt like things came together clumsily at the end. Overall, it’s great if you’re in the mood for a horny book with a dark vibe, but be warned - the core mystery is still not resolved and barely touched until the end. I don’t want to sound like I hated this book, but the twist that WAS revealed should’ve just happened way sooner, it felt obvious by that point.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. The story was good, though the over-descriptiveness of everything got to be a bit much. Also, I figured out some parts of the mystery about halfway through the book. It was still an excellent read though. I liked the spiciness of the romance, though very spicy for YA. The world-building was excellent, as was the depth of the mythology.

Y'all, why did I wait so long to read this book? I needed this months ago when I first bought it quite frankly. I should have read this one long before I did.
The Characters
Emilia: Go bad bitch, go bad bitch, go. I can't go into details on this one without spoiling shit, but honestly, Emilia is who I strive to be in life. She truly took Wrath (and all of Hell) by the balls and said, "Try me, bitch." If you aren't out here looking for an Emilia, don't hit me up. She's about to become my whole personality.
Wrath: I stand by the fact that this noodle is the biggest softie known to man, despite the fact that he is literally the head of the House of Wrath. He tries so hard, and gets so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter because I see straight through him. If my next partner is not out here treating me the way Wrath is treating Emilia, I don't fucking want it.
Things I Loved
I loved it so much honestly. I loved the "training," I love the sessions where we are getting to know Emilia better as a character as well as the other characters within Wrath's circle of Hell. It made me so happy and I genuinely wish I had been able to get through it faster.
Things I Didn't Love
What in the fresh hell was the twist with Wrath?? And then also the one with Vittoria???? I rage quit the book for a solid 30 minutes to call a whole ass real life man and yell about this one
The Final Verdict
Bitch, if you're a fantasy lover, you better get out here and get you one of these. I honestly liked this book more than anything I have read lately.

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.
