SYNOPSIS
Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister’s killer and to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden.
Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems…
REVIEW
I don’t know if I am the only one but I have heard about this book A LOT, so I decided to pick it up. I have to say there were many mixed reviews, some people loved it and others despised it and I feel like I am in between both opinions.
I gave it 3 stars which is not a bad rating for me but there some stuff missing.
I reallly loved the dynamic that our both main characters had together so I would have appreciated more of their romance in the plot. It was definitely a very plot driven story and there was not so much character development. They did have an amazing chemistry though and it pains me that their relationship wasn’t shown as much.
I listened to the audiobook for this one since EVERYONE recommended me to and omg IT WAS SO GOOD. It was super atmospheric which is something that kept me hooked to it, there was music, sound effects and even voices and accents that made it so much better and realistic.
The plot twists in this book are something else, SO good and SO unexpected twists keep happening. I either was super hooked and couldn’t put it down or super bored and wanted to move on, there really was no in between.
