This series has my heart. After reading the second volume, I‘d say it‘s a bit like retelling Dante‘s Divina Comedia, and the author does so amazingly well. I just love the female lead, Emilia is driven, competent and also daring and headstrong, which results in some steamy and interesting dynamics with the male lead. I really look forward to devouring the third book.

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❤️❤️❤️

Thoroughly entertaining if not confusing at some points. 

The book definitely kept you on your toes and made you wonder what could possibly come next. I'm definitely looking forward to the third and final book!
