It was filled with many questions but still no answers, though it was quite predictable and seemed to pull for a confusing plot. It was no slow-burn romance; just cut-off moments. It was an all-consuming read that sought attention. The scenes are suggestive of certain tensions and emotionally conflicting.

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!

I had to reread this book before Kingdom of the Feared is released soon!
I love this trilogy and I‘m very excited for the finale.
The worldbuilding is amazing, but I miss the Italian setting from the first book, even though it shines through when Emilia is cooking.
There were quite a few plot twists I didn‘t see coming and the tension between Wrath and Emilia was off the charts.
I hope Kingdom of the Feared will be able to tie up all loose ends and bring the series to a satisfying conclusion.
