‘There is nothing more dangerous than a woman who owns who she is and apologizes to no one.’

Mixed feelings about this one. I understand people’s woes about Emilia being like a different character in this book in comparison to KotW, but she’s in hell, she’s unfiltered, keeping personified sins as company and she’s been through a lot. So I kinda feel a bit defensive of her, I’m here for feminine rage. Do I feel it went from 0-100? Yes. I get that maybe Kerri wanted to go in a different direction, more NA than YA but maybe a little build up on that would’ve been better. I did guess the secret but the plot? Nooooooo bloody clue whats going on there pal.

But I finally what period this series is set in, HUZZAH. 

TWs: depictions of injury, sexism, sexual harassment, drugging, ? dubious consent

I'm Just Surprised Anybody Would Date You

Y'all, why did I wait so long to read this book? I needed this months ago when I first bought it quite frankly. I should have read this one long before I did.

The Characters
Emilia: Go bad bitch, go bad bitch, go. I can't go into details on this one without spoiling shit, but honestly, Emilia is who I strive to be in life. She truly took Wrath (and all of Hell) by the balls and said, "Try me, bitch." If you aren't out here looking for an Emilia, don't hit me up. She's about to become my whole personality.
Wrath: I stand by the fact that this noodle is the biggest softie known to man, despite the fact that he is literally the head of the House of Wrath. He tries so hard, and gets so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter because I see straight through him. If my next partner is not out here treating me the way Wrath is treating Emilia, I don't fucking want it.

Things I Loved
I loved it so much honestly. I loved the "training," I love the sessions where we are getting to know Emilia better as a character as well as the other characters within Wrath's circle of Hell. It made me so happy and I genuinely wish I had been able to get through it faster.

Things I Didn't Love
What in the fresh hell was the twist with Wrath?? And then also the one with Vittoria???? I rage quit the book for a solid 30 minutes to call a whole ass real life man and yell about this one


The Final Verdict
Bitch, if you're a fantasy lover, you better get out here and get you one of these. I honestly liked this book more than anything I have read lately.

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❤️❤️❤️

Ok. So I started reading this book yesterday evening. I "accidentally" stayed up all night and finished reading it today, because I simply couldn't put it away. I'm in loooove with this book series and can't wait for the final book this September! 

Loved the development Emilia and Wrath went through and how the author dropped very subtle hints troughout the books about who Wrath really is, so we already would figure that out. Just read it!
