"Apologise for not being mine when you should've been. Because Emilia, baby...it was always fucking us and you knew it"

Bit of a roller coaster this story, I loved Emilia, and I would've loved to see Vicious explored a little more. His character background was so interesting and I would've loved a few more flashbacks. Their romance wasn't forced or natural, I loved the slow understanding between the two.
When I heard that Sinners of Saints series followed a group of friends, I did expect a little bit more involvement of them, however, I'm not too fussed because I'll get the other books in this series anyway.

"I loved you since you told me your friends called you Millie. Even then, when I caught you eavesdropping. I knew I wasn't gonna call you that, because you weren't going to be my fucking friend. You were destined to be my wife."
