This book had me hooked pretty early on. Despite the seemingly silly wrath name. Despite the lack of smut. The plot is super fascinating and it took some twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Enough that I definitely am going to need the rest of the series. I have to hope and wish there would be more smut in the next book. Or way more with the other demon brothers please.

Um, well, this was not the greatest start for the new year. I can't even say much about this book. It was definitely well written, and I always appreciate that. I did however feel that it was lacking in keeping the story line going. I often felt like there were parts that I missed, which may be my fault for not paying attention... but overall affected my feelings about it. 

The character design was actually quite flawless, and very well done. I feel like I know so much about Emilia, and even Vittoria. I will always be happy about the token grandmother that actually knows what she's talking about. (Sort of.) Supporting characters actually supported the story—thank god.

Honestly, I think I could have given this book higher than three stars, but I'm just not as interested in fantasy anymore. That seems to be why I found it lacking.
