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 for the most part. The story was good, though the over-descriptiveness of everything got to be a bit much. Also, I figured out some parts of the mystery about halfway through the book. It was still an excellent read though. I liked the spiciness of the romance, though very spicy for YA. The world-building was excellent, as was the depth of the mythology.

I'm Just Surprised Anybody Would Date You

4🌟
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.
