Heartbroken and hell-bent on revenge, she begins her journey in solving the mystery behind Vittoria's death, and will go to any length to avenge her. Even use dark magic and accidently summon one of the demon princes of Hell— Wrath. The first couple of chapters seemed generic. Emilia felt like many YA characters I had read before. I was skeptical. this book had so much potential of being a five star read but there is something that bugs me a lot and which is, the writing. fantasy books are hardest genre to get in at the beginning in my opinion, and this one had so many layers of magic, realms, princes, demons etc. and it was all over the place, most of the times i couldn’t understand what the hell was happening 🤡 The plot ; A murder mystery, fantasy, with demons and witches, secrets and betrayal.... sounds super perfect right?
A witch and a demon’s sizzling, pant melting chemistry : they’re like gasoline and fire! They will be end of each other! Yes, Emilia and Wrath (the name of the sin and household he represents, we still don’t know his real name so we gotta wait for the next book) are one of the hottest couple with undeniable amazing chemistry you enjoy to read.Thank you so much to the publisher, Jimmy Patterson Books, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review. And then there's Wrath. It was love at first sight meeting Wrath.🥺 You can always count me in when it comes to tall, dark, and handsome demon princes— especially the suspicious ones. So many secrets.... but you still can't help but love Wrath at least I couldn't. (ahhhh and the candle scene was just so sweet <3) However, I am happy to report, I had no reason to be. Once Emilia and Wrath met up, everything began to fall into place and I ended up really enjoying this. Selling one's soul? Emilia points out that it should not be easy. But reality is, that it is easy cause when the moment of temptation comes, when the moment you want everything you desire is right in front of your eyes; the devil will try everything in its power to get you to sell your soul. I hope if a time like that arises in your life, you're able to resist, flee and rebuke. Overcome with grief, Emilia's saving grace seems to be her need for vengeance. Her overwhelming compulsion to find her sister's killer keeps her from wallowing in despair for too long. She has things to do.
Love is the most powerful magic. Above all else, remember that. It will always guide you where you need to go.” stars for the interesting concept but poorly delivered narrative with a dumb main character whose only personality trait is being good at cooking.So this one, had a lot of building on Hell, and fallen angels- aka demons, summoning demons, witchcraft and the whole concept of selling one's soul. Obviously, as a Christian I do not agree with any events in the book that happened. But it can bring one bit of peace knowing that it's not non fiction. Wrath was amazing, as I expected. I shouldn't feel this way towards a demon but here we are. I couldn't even hate him in this after he did what he did, because I'd already predicted it. But seriously, he was never really the villain to me, even though he should be. But oh well. He was funny, sarcastic, evil (kinda), and what more could you ask for? It's a very toxic trait I have to fall in love with a freaking demon, but that is fine, I've come to terms with it. I cannot wait to read more about him in the next two books. At 18-years old, they've been raised hearing the lore of their family, and other beings of the underworld; mostly at the knee of their beloved Nonna.
I also feel like we have so much more to learn about him. Fingers crossed this happens moving forward in the series. Wrath is just as perfect, but I feel like I'm biased by saying this, as well, because...well, he's everything I usually adore in a male character all wrapped up in a smoking hot and sexy ribbon. I also noticed some of my favorite books/series feature a main character who has a sister or a twin. I wonder what that might mean. The plot was actually pretty captivating. It was good from almost right off the bat, but as usual, I was a little confused, probably because I was skimming a little (I can't help it). I was mainly waiting the whole time for Wrath to come in, who was the highlight of this whole book.I thought the evolution of their relationship was perfectly paced and the way they worked together, two thumbs up. Until the bitter end, I was with them, hook, line and sinker. Pushing herself to the limits, her ability to stare straight in the face of danger was admirable. By the end, she was one of my new favorite heroines. A lot of YA fantasy these days reads like it was churned out of the same word salad factory, if you know what I mean. Like, there's a vibe, and if you cobbled together a handful of quotes from a dozen or so of these authors, I'd be hard-pressed to tell you which is from where because the whole lot of them feel so samey. The dynamic between Amelia and Wrath was absolutely the best and I can't wait to see where it goes.
Great Deal
