3.79 AVERAGE


3.5⭐️
I enjoyed this more than I think I should've...

Reasons I enjoyed:
- LOVE the premise of the storyline and where it takes place (Sicily, Italy. With a big empsasis on Witches, Demons and Catholicism).
- The audiobook is also pretty good with some great sound effects that keep you engaged.
- I think the relationship between the two main characters has a lot of potential in the future books.

Reasons I shouldn't have enjoyed as much as I did:
- It was quite predictable
- It didn't really give you a great visual of where you were throughout the story.
- A lot of the plot line was given in dialogue rather than the reader having to try to figure it out.
- Not a lot of critical thinking by the main characters either.

As much as I am left a little confused and with a lot of questions, I am hoping they will be answered in the second of the series and am very keen to pick up the next one!!

This was more of a 3.5 for me, too, but I don't have that option. I think if I was actually reading it then I might have DNF'ed it. But since it was an audiobook, I can listen to it in the background. The main plot is supposed to be about her sister, but it feels so slow and the main character kinda feels weak, honestly.

When in doubt (a reading slump), read a fantasy book (with a morally gray mmc).

3/5 stars

Rating: 3.5

I felt as if the beginning just threw me off and it definitely was my least favorite part of the whole book. Once I got to the middle though, I was instantly in love and involved in the plot, mystery, and ROMANCE. Then the ending came and once again I was pretty disappointed by how things played out. I will continue the series though because the romance has me in a chokehold :)
