A book with witches? spells? mystery? Yes, yes and yes. This book is definitely recommended to those who enjoy mystery, fantasy and romance all together! Even after going through lot the MC does not turn into a monster or become a damsel in distress that needs a Prince Charming to save her. The character development and the interactions between Emilia and Wrath are so well portrayed that I just couldn't bring myself to put the book down!
The grandmother in this book reminded me of the grandmother in Encanto. The trope of miscommunication and withholding of information due to “protecting” the MC is so infuriating.
Me encantó que el libro se desarrollase en Italia y el hecho de que siempre estén presente las raíces del país en la narración, ya sea en alguna comida, algún lugar y alguna palabra.
El desarrollo de Emilia es el más notorio, desde como empieza hasta como termina y eso es un punto a favor, así como los personajes secundarios, (los malditos) me gustó la aparición (aunque breve) de algunos, muero por conocer a los demás.
Tengo que añadir que sí me vi venir quién fue el/la causante de lo que pasó a Vittoria, es bastante predecible, aunque me quedaron a deber más por sus "razones" y todo lo que sigue envolviendo ese misterio.
Respecto a Wrath y su relación con Emilia... yo pienso que es mucho más de lo que se deja ver, así como Wrath, tengo mis sospechas de que no es quien dice ser, así como el hecho de que Emilia es algo más que una simple bruja.
La narración de la autora es buena, sin embargo, también hay cosas bastante ¿mal logradas? hubieron puntos en donde sentía que pasaba mucho, pero no pasaba nada... no sé, así como lo inverosímil de la situación de Nonna y el como la mayor parte del libro no hace nada, pero convenientemente para la treama, al final sí... la verdad, hubieron cosas que no me tragué, en fin, fue un libro interesante y claramente ligero de leer a pesar de sus 400 páginas, leeré el siguiente porque necesito confirmar si mis teorías son ciertas o no.

Twisted and dark. Witches, shapeshifters, demons, devils, blood & gore, & a hint of possible romance to come? What more could you want. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this overall til the ending, leaving me needing to read the second book now, so I can know what happens next.
When going into this series just know it isn’t a standalone, it truly will leave you hanging so be prepared and have book two ready 😅

I enjoyed this one. It's YA but the MFC doesn't read as immature as many other YA I've read recently.
She does make some poor decisions ("Don't go out it's dangerous!" - Goes right out. Or "you get only one question." - asks smaller problem question instead of ya know, "did you kill my sister?" 🙄)
That being said, the story is well written and engaging, the location is immersive and unique, and the author handles loss and grief well. The romance is slow warming right now, and I expect to heat up next book.
I'm definitely hooked enough to read the next one.

I wasn’t really sure what I was going to think going into this as while I love anything to do with witches but I have also seen some mixed reviews so was definitely a bit apprehensive however I’m glad that I gave it a shot as it was an enjoyable read. This was really fast paced and I was never once bored while reading it. My favourite part of this was definitely the setting and atmosphere you really felt like you were there while reading. Kerri also did a really good job at exploring loss and grief. I also liked the characters and found Wrath intriguing however the romance didn’t really pull me in, it was just sort of there. Overall I did enjoy this and plan on picking up the sequel when it’s released. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.

3,75/5 Me ha encantado la ambientación tan oscura que tiene el libro y los personajes también me han conquistado. Pero es un libro bastante introductorio (y necesario que sea así), pero me ha aburrido mucho que la protagonista diese tantas vueltas siempre a los mismos pensamientos
