Okay so I don't know where to begin. I liked this book a lot more than the first one!! Emilia and Wrath's chemistry is incredible, omg.
The main aspect that distinguished this from the first book for me was that some of the plot points finally made sense. There's still a lot of things I don't really understand so I hope that in book three, everything will be tied together.
Wrath... I love that man (demon? prince? All of them!). Girl, the way I was giggling and kicking my feet about some of the things he said... he's so protective, too, but not in an unsettling or suffocating way. 
Emilia's character development throughout this book was crazy but it didn't feel far fetched. It actually made sense why she would react in certain ways and she's such a badass now, I love it. (I don't know if I wanna be her or be with her😔💃🏻) Her actions were still a little reckless but definitely less so than in book 1, which was a relief.
This book was also surprisingly funny, I laughed out loud several times.
Last aspect: I really love all of the Princes, they're so funny?? Yes, they're violent and prone to their respective sins but you know... I just love their vibes (especially Gluttony tbh).
See yall for book three xx

I enjoyed this book but so much of it was just Emilia lusting over Wrath and then being like “it’s not real” and then going back and forth with that every other scene and then at like 60% in the plot started actually picking up. And then the end reveals we’re pretty dang good. So it got there. But I felt like it took awhile to get there. I did like this book more than the first one though, I enjoyed the political intrigue of the demon courts whenever it took place but I was hoping that there was going to be more of that than there ended up being. That said, I am invested in the mystery and I am going to read the next book so.

I’m definitely invested in this series. Finally at a least a little smut. I’m definitely rooting for twin vengeance and Wrath love. I love everyone fighting over this sexy protagonist. We can all just pretend it’s us. I love it. Now onto the next book ! I must see how all of this ends! Hoping for more smut and a wedding!

GAAAAH I LOVE THIS SERIEEESS!!! This book is a strong 5 ⭐️ but it was a bit hard to get hooked from the beginning. It had been awhile since I read the first book and did not remember who had killed who and so on, I was a little bit disoriented.  BUUUT I WAS SO GLAD I CONTINUED BECAUSE GAH I LOVED IT❤️❤️❤️
