A review by sadallthetime
This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede

5.0

~potential spoilers~

I don’t think I’ve been so invested in a book in some time.

The stakes? High
The romance? Believable
The story? Unique
The characters? Endearing

Nothing brought me to almost tears then the scene where Dante offered the Hug to Alessa. I felt Alessa’s loneliness like my own and could relate to her in that sense. The persisting feeling of loneliness? Of feeling never good enough? Of needing human contact but also afraid of it? That was some good shit, good and well-written.

Book 2 is needed like now
